It supplies to Europe, the USA and Canada.
Arovac vacuum bagging solutions
The vacuum bagging system has a two-stage vacuum process. The product is first de-aerated at the filling point to minimise overall sack dimensions, and the process is then completed in the second stage, post de-aeration position further down the line, which finishes the conditioning process. The seal zone is then sealed using Arodo’s own impulse sealing system.
AROVAC vacuum bagging system has the following advantages:
- No influence of dust and air in the product which further improves the quality of the product.
- Environment friendly and less wastage
- Dust and spillage free
