Amcor, a prominent name in sustainable packaging solutions, has introduced the first Moda rotary vacuum chamber sealing technology in Brazil, collaborating with Barra Mansa Alimentos, a top Brazilian meat processor.
This collaboration signifies a pivotal advancement in Amcor’s growth within Latin America, highlighting the company’s dedication to one of the region’s rapidly expanding protein sectors. By consistently investing in sophisticated packaging innovations, enhanced manufacturing capabilities, state-of-the-art equipment, and specialized sales and technical personnel, Amcor is solidifying its role in providing comprehensive packaging solutions that boost customer efficiency, performance, and operational reliability.
Barra Mansa Alimentos aimed to elevate productivity and improve the vacuum packaging processes for its Oranges Alimentos brand with a fully integrated solution as part of its new deboning line. Amcor supplied its high-speed Moda Vac system, accompanied by packaging materials and on-site technical support to facilitate a smooth integration.
The impact of this installation has been swift, with the new systems augmenting production capacity and enhancing operational uniformity, vacuum efficiency, and process dependability. The deployment of three Amcor Moda Vac rotary vacuum chamber sealing systems has replaced as many as nine belt chamber systems, traditionally utilized in the Latin American protein sector. This new solution not only boosts throughput but also delivers superior vacuum quality and consistency in packaging operations.
“This project demonstrates how our integrated strategy—merging materials, equipment, and technical knowledge—enables customers to enhance productivity, consistency, and long-term competitiveness,” stated Marcelo Queiroz, Amcor’s vice president and general manager for Brazil. “Brazil is a key market for Amcor’s growth, and initiatives like this showcase our progress in expanding our capabilities, investing in innovation, and collaborating closely with clients to foster their long-term expansion.”
For Barra Mansa, this initiative signifies a significant leap forward in modernizing operations. “The adoption of Moda Vac technology has dramatically boosted our productivity and vacuum performance,” remarked Felipe Oranges, operations director for Barra Mansa & Oranges Alimentos. “The system’s stability, versatility, and smooth integration into our production processes were critical factors in our decision-making.”
By the completion of the three lines in 2026, Barra Mansa will boast one of the most advanced rotary vacuum sealing systems in the region, setting a new standard for efficiency and operational excellence within Brazil’s meat processing sector.
