Mepaco RELIABLE BY DESIGN The Mepaco® Vacuum Stuffer is designed to pull and maintain full vacuum (29" Hg.) The stuffer gently agitates product in its vacuum chamber to expose more area to deaeration, which results in greater density and yield. It also prepares the product for gas or vacuum packaging with better color and shelf life. Adaptable Feed Pressure The speed of the metering pump is adaptable from 0 to 100% in order to maintain the set feed pressure for satisfying the demands of downstream devices. Simple Operation and Control The product continuously feeds through a Deaeration Enhancing Inlet Valve (DEIV) connected by 6"tubing to any upstream device. The inlet valve automatically opens and closes according to the level of product in the chamber. Product entering the vacuum chamber is deflected by the cone-shaped DEIV and is spread out to expose more area to vacuum. Product feed rate can be set for various operations. The metering pump will generate the required pressure needed to maintain the set feed rate within hydraulic drive parameters.
