Discover Syntegon's aroma protection valves for fresh dough, yeast products and coffee, designed to preserve freshness, extend shelf life and prevent gas buildup.

Degassing Valve Solutions for Fresh Dough, Yeast Products, Coffee & Beyond

Your packaging is essential when it comes to the quality of your oxygen-sensitive product. We make sure it keeps its quality – all the way to the shelf.

Dough and Coffee continue to release CO₂ long after it's sealed. Without the right valve solution, that means blown up packages, lost aroma, and dissatisfied retail customers. Syntegon's internal degassing valves are engineered to solve exactly this – releasing excess gas while keeping oxygen out, preserving freshness and protecting your brand.

The Challenge: Packaging Products That Are Still Alive

Oxygen-sensitive products, like fresh dough or coffee, don’t stop working once it's packaged. It produces CO₂ continuously – building pressure, threatening package integrity, and accelerating spoilage if oxygen gets in.

The consequences without the right valve:

Icon packaging

Burst or deformed retail packaging

Aroma loss and reduced product quality

Icon with clock and packaging

Shorter shelf life = higher returns and waste

Icon with hand and dollar sign

Increased storage sensitivity and logistics costs

Challenge accepted: Internal Degassing Valves – engineered for your active food products:

  • Excess gas escapes continuously – no pressure build-up
  • Oxygen stays out – full aroma protection, extended shelf life
  • Degassed packaging is more compact and less pressure-sensitive – saving storage costs
  • Ultrasonic sealing enables gentle and fast processing
