As part of its new deboning line, Barra Mansa Alimentos sought an integrated solution to improve productivity, optimize vacuum packaging performance for its Oranges Alimentos brand and streamline operations. Amcor delivered its Moda Vac high-speed system alongside packaging materials and on-the-ground equipment and technical service to ensure a seamless implementation.

The operational impact has been immediate, with the new lines increasing production capacity while improving operational consistency, vacuum performance and process reliability. The installation of three Amcor Moda Vac rotary vacuum chamber sealing systems replaced up to nine belt chamber machines, which are commonly used across the Latin American protein industry. The solution increases throughput while delivering exceptional vacuum quality and greater consistency across packaging operations.

“This project demonstrates how our integrated approach — combining materials, equipment, and technical expertise — helps customers improve productivity, consistency and long-term competitiveness,” said Marcelo Queiroz, vice president and general manager for Amcor in Brazil. “Brazil is a strategic growth market for Amcor, and initiatives like this reflect the progress we are making to expand our capabilities, invest in innovation and work more closely with customers to support their long-term growth.”

For Barra Mansa, the project represents a major step in operational modernization. “The implementation of Moda Vac technology has significantly improved our productivity and vacuum performance,” noted Felipe Oranges, operations director for Barra Mansa & Oranges Alimentos. “The system’s stability, versatility and ease of integration into our production flow were decisive in our decision.”

Upon completion of all three lines in 2026, Barra Mansa will operate one of the most advanced rotary vacuum sealing systems in the region, setting a new benchmark for efficiency and operational excellence in Brazil’s meat industry.
