APOLLO-SLB^TM uses the patented Shelf Life Booster^TM (SLB^TM) tray sealing, gas flush technology which is fully automated with quick change seal heads that are light weight and interchangeable with all ARPAC-Hefestus models. Product change over can be accomplished in under 15 minutes.

SHELF LIFE BOOSTER^TM

The APOLLO-SLB^TM operates using ARPAC-HEFESTUS USA patented Shelf Life Booster (SLB^TM). SLB^TM is a unique technology that creates modified atmosphere without drawing a mechanical vacuum at any stage while achieving residual oxygen rates of 1% or less, in some cases as low as .01%. This is unheard of in vacuum free gas flush systems. Additionally, products packed with SLB^TM cause no harm to texture or appearance opening entire new markets to MAP.

SLB^TM extends shelf life without the need for preservatives or freezing
