Commercial Vacuum Sealers



Vacuum sealers protect perishable foodstuffs from degradation by oxygen. The foods’ freshness and flavor are extended for a longer time. The available types of vacuum sealers are external vacuum sealers and chamber vacuum sealers.  For the chamber sealers, an enclosed chamber is used; the lid closes automatically and begins the process of sealing.


External vacuum sealers:
It is the common type of commercial vacuum sealers that is used in homes. Many manufacturers make this sealer, with the common brand being food-saver. It’s a clamp-style where the open end of the vacuum sealing bag is placed in a tray and the lid is shut. Through the open end, the machine releases the air from the bag. Due to this property, liquids cannot be vacuum sealed. Moreover, special bags with texture are used to draw the vacuum.
Chamber vacuum sealers:
Here, the whole bag that is kept in the vacuum sealing machine with the lid is lowered down. The sealing machine takes out all air that is inside the chamber. After completion of the vacuum cycle, the bar comes up and seals the bag. Since there is no sucking at the open end, liquid foods like soups and stews can be sealed. In addition, a wide range of flat chamber vacuum bags should be used with the external vacuum machine.
