THE SOLUTION TO LEAKY WET VACUUM PACKAGING

Rump (Web Page).JPG (10326 bytes)

Overview

Likwi Lok should be used for the packaging of meat in vacuum bags or whenever your product releases, or may release, unwanted water-based liquids.
Likwi Lok offers added product value by offering remarkably high retention of fluids. Likwi Lok is a thematically sealed sachet containing an inert powder which will absorb up to 60 times it’s own weight in exuded liquids.
Although it is harmless to humans, the gel provides a very poor growing environment for bacteria. The liquid which has been absorbed is no longer a source of contamination for your product.
Likwi Lok sachets are completely safe in contact with foodstuffs. The gel that forms as fluid are absorbed, is unpalatable and safe for consumption. All constituent components are approved for use with food products by either USA (FDA approved) or European (EEC approval), depending on the source of raw materials.

Features & Benefits

Likwi Lok will absorb at least 50 times its weight in meat fluid compared to fluff pulp, which will only absorb 2 to 4 times its weight.
Likwi Lok will help ensure increased dryness and safety of packaged goods during transportation and storage.
Won’t leak or spill
The initial absorption, and subsequent retention properties of Likwi Lok , is not adversely affected by freezing and thawing.
The gel particles becomes too large to pass through the cell fabric so the gel and unwanted fluids remain contained within the sachet.

 

Applications

Take care to keep opened cartons of Likwi Lok sachets away from wet areas where splashing may occur, and any other form of contamination.
Ensure your packaging materials are dry before placing sachets into them, otherwise the absorbing action will start immediately.
Place the required Likwi Lok sachets in the Vacuum bag. The perforated shine side must face the meat. The smooth,h shiny side of the sachet should face the outside of the vacuum bag.
Pack and vacuum the bag in your usual manner.
Likwi Lok can help to take the mess of your hands and put an end to leaky packages.
Make life easy in your packing operation by using Likwi Lok.

 

Specifications

Likwi Lok sachets are formed from various heat bonded plastic materials. No adhesives are used in the manufacturing process. The smooth shiny side of the sheet does not allow the passage of moisture. The other side is a wickable fabric or a micro perforated plastic that attracts fluid. Inside the cell is an inert super absorbent powder, which forms a non-toxic gel as it absorbs and retains fluids.
Likwi Lok was developed environmental friendly. The super absorbent gel breaks down to water, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide after six weeks exposure to normal ultra-violet sunlight. The rest of the Likwi Lok sachet is manufactured from polly-propylene.
