Degassing Valves for Flexible Packaging

The Big Difference of a Revolutionary Little Valve

Originally developed for coffee and now utilized widely by other markets, Fres-co’s signature one-way degassing valve allows carbon dioxide to escape from a package without allowing oxygen or moisture in. This cleverly engineered 5-piece valve, about the size of a button, brings with it a host of benefits that include:

Longer product shelf life
Preservation of product quality, taste and freshness
Compact, stable palletization for storage and transportation savings and ease
Opening and closing pressures that ensure consistent, leak-proof operation without package over-inflation
Durable design built not to bend, crack or flex under normal use and to withstand thousands of openings and closings
Unique valve caps that are mechanically locked into bases to protect internal valve parts from damage and prevent debris from entering the valve
Facilitation of steam release during microwaving

Fres-co’s flexible packaging machines can be customized so that one-way degassing valves are seamlessly integrated with both 3- and 4-ply laminates. Consider adding these valves to your packaging system for any food, industrial or agricultural product where gas release is an issue.
