The FreshPax® System is your turn-key solution; it combines the advantages of FreshPax® Oxygen Absorbing Packets with the proven reliability of our Multisorb series of Active-Pak Automation (APA) dispensing equipment.

FreshPax® patented oxygen absorbing packets are designed to protect packaged foods and other products against spoilage, mold growth, color change, rancidity, loss of nutritive values, insect damage and loss of quality. Produced in packet form using food grade ingredients, FreshPax® packets irreversibly absorb oxygen inside sealed packaging to less than 0.01% and maintain this level.
FreshPax® dispensers are compatible with a variety of packaging line configurations, including horizontal flow wrappers, VFFS, bottling lines, thermoformed pouching and other layouts. The dispensers are made using only the highest quality sensors, drive mechanisms, and cutters. All of these capabilities add up to higher efficiencies for your packaging operations.

Features and Options
Multisorb’s FreshPax packets contribute to the stability profile/shelf life of many products within their packaging. Consequently, the packets’ capacity must be protected during packaging operations to prevent capacity loss. The unwind chamber protects the scavengers from pre-reaction, providing operational flexibility and minimizing uncertainty regarding the allowable open time for scavengers. Like no other dispensers available, Multisorb’s APA series of FreshPax dispensers are available with packet spool supply systems that offer optional automated nitrogen purge with related nitrogen supply & oxygen level monitoring/alarming (to the PLC) including:
