Laser Perforation for Modified Atmosphere Packaging with MLT
Hole sizes from 70 µm
MLT laser systems enable highly precise perforation of packaging films with hole sizes starting at 70 µm. Since even differences of 0.1 mm can be critical in food packaging, both hole size and hole density can be precisely tailored to your requirements – even at high production speeds.
Suitable for a wide range of food products
With MLT’s Modified Atmosphere Packaging laser technology, every food product receives a customized microclimate with precisely defined oxygen and moisture levels. This allows ripening and aging processes to be controlled more effectively, keeping fruits and vegetables fresh for longer.
What is Modified Atmosphere Packaging?
Laser microperforations allow oxygen transmission and moisture levels inside the package to be precisely tailored to the specific requirements of each food product. By adjusting the size and number of microperforations, an optimal microclimate is created. For example, moisture can escape from salad and cheese without causing it to dry out.
