Vacuum Packing Machines
A commercial vacuum packing machine is designed for removing air from vacuum bags. Vacuum packing foodstuff lengthens the time it takes before spoilage occurs, which means there is less need for refrigeration. This is great for food that does not contain harmful bacteria, such as vegetables, fish, and fruit.
Vacuum-packed foods sealed without air are also capable of being cooked at low temperatures over time, which is called sous vide cooking.
Vacuum Packing Machine Overview
• A vacuum packing machine is a professional appliance designed to quickly remove air from specialised vacuum pack bags
• Quickly Remove Air From Specialised Vacuum Pack Bags: This allows food to be stored for longer periods in comparison to refrigeration alone
• The commercial vacuum packing machine is made with high-quality plastic and stainless steel, allowing it to withstand years of daily use
• Each commercial vacuum packing machine comes with two different sized bags, perfect for storing meat, vegetables, and more
• The commercial vacuum packing machine is designed with a simple design and easy to use controls which allows even the most inexperienced user to operate the machine with ease
What is needed to operate the vacuum pack machine?
You want to make sure you have both a vacuum packing machine and vac pack bags. The vacuum packing machine comes in two varieties – external and chamber. One is sealed on the outside, while the other is sealed inside.
External Vacuum packing machines
An external vacuum sealer is typically used for small amounts of food. However, liquids and sauces cannot be sealed with the external vac machine.
Some of the benefits of an external vacuum pack machine:
Compact and Portable: The external bags and the machine itself are very compact and portable. It is easy to store and transport with its small size and lightweight
Seals with Ease: Use the bag against the sealing strip and press down firmly to form a vacuum seal. The composition of the bag ensures all the air is drawn out through tiny channels in the food-safe plastic. Once a set vacuum level is achieved, the bag is sealed shut
Highly Versatile: Use for sealing meat, cheese, vegetables, pasta, sauces, spices, baked goods, frozen foods, fresh foods, medical supplies, industrial parts/products, cut flowers & more
Low Power Consumption: The vacuum pump uses less power than the chamber vac pack machines. This means that it can be used for longer periods of time without overheating or losing suction
Easy to Clean: To maintain optimal performance it is recommended to wipe down the sealing bar regularly with a wet cloth or sponge
Chamber Vacuum packing machine
Chamber machines usually use flat bags, but sometimes embossed bags are used. The reason for this difference is because embossed bags are more expensive.
To seal the bag, just put it inside the chamber with the open edge against the sealing bars. When you close the lid and start the cycle, an air pump removes the air from the whole chamber. Since there is no over-pressurization of liquids, anything inside stays in place.
Some of the benefits of Chamber Vacuum sealers
CHAMBER PACKING MACHINE: The chamber design allows for the bag to be sucked out and leave air inside, to ensure a strong vacuum is created. This is a great advantage over other packers which use rollers to crush the bag and create a poor vacuum.
EMBOSSED BAGS: Most chamber vac machines can use either flat or embossed bags, although it’s more common to use flat bags simply due to the difference in price.
FLAT BAGS: Flat bags are the most economical option and are made from clear plastic. Flat bags can be stored in a dispenser box and dispensed one at a time as needed.
FLEXIBLE: The chamber vac machines are compatible with most types of food vacuum pack bags, including vacuum bag rolls.
HIGH CAPACITY CHAMBERS: The chambers allow for larger foodstuffs to be sealed, such as joints of meat or bigger cuts of fish.
