Fish Packaging
PFM offers fish producers a complete range of flexible packaging solutions designed to preserve freshness, product quality and shelf life. Easy to operate and highly reliable, PFM machines ensure gentle product handling, airtight packaging and consistent sealing performance.
Example of fish products:
Salmon & whole saltwater fishes
Large, heavy, and oily fish with irregular shapes require gentle handling and strong protection against microbial spoilage. PFM high-barrier pouch and flow-wrap solutions with MAP or nitrogen flushing ensure airtight packaging and stable handling of variable formats.
Sliced fish
Delicate slices with sticky surfaces are highly sensitive to deformation and rapid spoilage. PFM vacuum or MAP pouch solutions with Long Dwell sealing and controlled feeding systems ensure airtight closure and gentle product handling.
Frozen fish
Frozen products with ice residues and large fillets require packaging that prevents freezer burn and seal failure at low temperatures. PFM freezer-grade flexible packaging with hermetic sealing and vacuum or inert-gas flushing protects product quality throughout cold-chain distribution.
Fish fillets
Variable thickness and fragile muscle structure demand precise handling and oxygen protection. PFM vacuum or skin-pack pouch solutions with accurate weighing and high-barrier materials support consistent packaging and reduced oxidation.
Precooked / ready-to-eat fish
Sauced and oily products increase leakage risk and require controlled atmosphere packaging. PFM liquid-tight stand-up pouch solutions with MAP and controlled filling conditions ensure secure sealing and extended shelf life.
Seafood (mixed)
Mixed seafood products combine different shapes, moisture levels, and brined conditions that complicate dosing and sealing. PFM VFFS and flow-wrap solutions with multihead weighing and vacuum or MAP packaging enable flexible and hygienic packing.
Crustaceans
Hard shells and irregular geometries create puncture risks and require strong seals for liquid-containing packs. PFM flow-wrap and vacuum packaging with robust sealing and controlled feeding systems ensure reliable containment and product protection.
Advanced flexible packaging for the fish industry
Fish and seafood products are highly perishable and require packaging solutions capable of controlling oxygen exposure, moisture and product integrity. Delicate textures, natural liquids and irregular product shapes increase the need for gentle handling and secure sealing systems. Fresh, frozen and ready to eat fish products also demand packaging technologies that maintain hygiene standards while extending shelf life.
PFM packaging solutions address these challenges through modified atmosphere packaging, vacuum compatible systems and high barrier flexible materials combined with precise sealing control. Integrated feeding, weighing and pouch technologies ensure stable production and reliable protection across a wide variety of fish and seafood applications.
Hermetic Long Dwell Sealing Technology
Long Dwell sealing systems ensure airtight seals even at high packaging speeds, helping maintain product safety and prevent leakage of liquids or brines.
Gentle Handling for Delicate Products
Optimized conveyors, feeding systems and multihead weighers minimize mechanical stress, protecting fragile fish fillets, slices and seafood products during packaging.
High Barrier and Leak Proof Packaging
Compatibility with advanced barrier films and controlled sealing parameters ensures protection against oxygen ingress, moisture loss and freezer burn for fresh and frozen products.
Integrated Weighing and Portion Control
Multihead weighers and vertical packaging systems enable accurate portioning and consistent pack weights for variable size fish and seafood products.
