Project Title
Vacuum Sealing/Packaging Machines for Food Service - Hand Wrap
Project Number ET10SCE1450 Organization SCE End-use Process Loads Sector Commercial Project Year(s) 2010 - 2012Description
Field evaluation of vacuum sealing/packaging machines for use in grocery stores to develop a customized solution. Rather than leaving the heating element on continuously, the new unit activates the heating element used to seal packages only when the machine is in use.
Project Results
This study seeks to assess the energy consumption of the new, on-demand package sealers and calculate the associated energy savings compared to the baseline package sealers currently deployed in stores. The measured energy savings will help determine the potential for replacement of the existing package sealers.
