This Vito Combi is a shrinking machine — also commonly referred to as a seal-shrink machine — designed to wrap individual vegetables in a tight film seal for commercial packing. This type of machine is widely used in horticultural and fresh produce operations, where film wrapping helps prevent moisture loss and extends the shelf life of products. Vito machines of this kind have also been marketed under the Brinkman and Bercomex names.
The machine combines two functions in a single line: a sealing unit and a shrink tunnel. Product is placed onto the infeed section, where it travels on a chain conveyor in a bottom layer of film. As each piece reaches the sealing bar, a top layer of film is drawn over it and the two layers are fused together by the welded bar sealer. The sealed product then passes through the shrink tunnel, which consists of two ovens working in sequence to shrink the film tightly around the product. A fan is incorporated into the unit, and the machine operates from two rolls of film simultaneously.
The processing speed is adjustable, allowing operators to match output to their packing line requirements. The design is noted for economical film consumption and straightforward operation, with low maintenance demands. While the machine is particularly associated with cucumber packing, it is suited to a range of similarly shaped horticultural products including leeks, corn, and courgettes.
This is a used example from 1995, described as being in good general condition, and is located in the Netherlands.
