The Vito Combi is a shrinking machine — sometimes referred to as a seal-shrink machine — designed to wrap individual vegetables in a tight film seal that reduces moisture loss and extends shelf life. It is purpose-built for horticultural packing operations, with cucumbers as the primary product, though it is equally suited to leeks, corn, courgettes, and similar produce. Vito machines of this type have also been manufactured and sold under the Brinkman and Bercomex brand names.
The machine combines two distinct units in a single line: a sealing station and a shrink tunnel. Product is placed on the infeed section, where it travels along a chain conveyor on a bottom layer of film. As each item reaches the sealing bar, a top layer of film is drawn over it and the two layers are heat-welded together to form a clean, consistent seal seam. The sealed product then continues along the chain into the shrink tunnel, which consists of two consecutive ovens that apply heat to draw the film tightly and uniformly around the product.
Processing speed is adjustable, allowing operators to tune throughput to suit different product sizes or production demands. The machine runs from two rolls of film simultaneously and is noted for economical film consumption. Construction includes stainless steel bars and an integrated fan. Operation is described as straightforward, with low maintenance requirements and a design intended for long service life.
This used example is located in the Netherlands and is reported to be in good general condition.
