A beef slaughter facility needed to extend chilled shelf life for export shipments. After adding the Vacuum Packaging Machine to its cutting room the team vacuum sealed primal cuts immediately after deboning. Drip loss fell from three point five percent to one point two percent and export shelf life stretched from forty five to sixty days. The plant now ships two extra containers per month without quality claims. Payback arrived in under ten months through higher yield and lower air-freight surcharges.
