SAES Getters, a renowned company at the forefront of future-proof materials, has unveiled a groundbreaking innovation under their B!POD brand – the DRO!D food vacuum sealer. Designed to tackle the pressing issue of food waste and extend the shelf life of food at home, this compact and user-friendly device combines advanced vacuum technology with a sleek, space-saving design. As a winner of the prestigious Red Dot Design Award 2024, DRO!D promises professional-grade performance in a lightweight and eco-friendly package.
Empowering Households to Reduce Food Waste and Plastic Consumption
Revolutionizing Home Food Storage
DRO!D represents a significant leap forward in home food storage solutions. By utilizing rigid containers instead of disposable plastic bags, this innovative vacuum sealer can save up to 5 kilograms of non-recyclable plastic per person annually, making a substantial contribution to recycling efforts and mitigating the environmental impact of plastic waste. The device's advanced vacuum technology can achieve a professional-grade vacuum level of 50 mbar, effectively eliminating up to 95% of oxygen from the corresponding containers. This process not only extends the shelf life of food by dramatically slowing down spoilage but also preserves the nutritional properties, flavors, colors, and textures of the stored items.
Compact and Powerful Design
Weighing just 500 grams, DRO!D is one of the most compact and powerful food vacuum devices on the market, matching the performance of larger, professional-grade machines. Inspired by aerospace technology, the device's rocket-like shape efficiently encases its internal components, maximizing efficiency and minimizing space requirements. Every aspect of the product, both internal and external, has been meticulously designed to optimize performance within a compact footprint, allowing it to achieve the efficiency of devices up to ten times its size.
Revolutionizing Marinating and Food Preparation
In addition to its food storage capabilities, DRO!D also revolutionizes the marinating process. By utilizing the high-vacuum technology, the device can dramatically reduce marinating time by 81%, allowing flavors to penetrate food tissues more effectively. This feature not only saves time in the kitchen but also enhances the overall taste and texture of marinated dishes, elevating the home cooking experience.
Aligning with SAES' Commitment to Sustainability
The development of DRO!D aligns seamlessly with SAES Getters' broader mission to enhance human and planetary coexistence through innovative solutions derived from chemistry and metallurgy. The company's Design Department, led by Head of Design Filippo Batavia and Chief Innovation Officer Ginevra della Porta, has been instrumental in integrating design-driven innovation within a scientific framework. This approach has given rise to the B!POD brand, SAES' first B2C initiative, which aims to create products that positively impact both people and the planet by addressing critical contemporary issues such as food waste.
Addressing a Global Challenge
Food waste is a pressing global issue, as highlighted by the United Nations Food Waste Index. By providing a practical and eco-friendly solution to this problem, DRO!D empowers households to reduce their environmental footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future. The device's ability to extend the shelf life of food and minimize plastic consumption aligns with SAES Getters' commitment to enhancing human and planetary coexistence through innovative, science-based solutions.
