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."

SHELF LIFE BOOSTER^TM

The HERA 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
