Testimonial

"I've been working with Rick Flynn and Dave Brown of Brown Packaging for over 15 years dealing with items as small development work on a cleavable tape to complete design and installation of a Robotic stretch wrapping station. The support I have received from Brown and their suppliers has been top notch. I can always count on quick efficient response for any concern I may have."

With a robust design yet compact footprint, the ATHENA SLB^TM hand fed Modified Atmosphere Packaging "MAP" system is ideal for small and medium packers and is a handy addition for large producers as well. A stainless steel sanitary construction ensures the ATHENA SLB^TM is at home in any food packing environment. Extremely compact and attractively priced, the ATHENA SLB^TM is also ideal for R&D by academic, medical, agricultural and food packaging research institutions.

The ATHENA SLB^TM has an ergonomic pull out drawer where an operator can easily load the desired tray or cup. The operator then pushes the drawer into the seal head where MAP and seal process is fully automatic, ensuring best results every time. Multiple sealing heads can be used for various trays, changeover is toolless and takes less than ten minutes 10 minutes!!!

SHELF LIFE BOOSTER^TM

The ATHENA 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.
