The Vacuum Sealer Expert

A domestic machine often has a power rating of around 110 W, compared with 290 to 900 W for our professional machines, depending on the model. Beyond wattage, our machines are designed for repeated use and are 100% repairable: wear parts and components can be replaced instead of replacing the entire machine. By contrast, many domestic appliances have limited repairability and often need to be replaced if they fail. Electrical power alone, however, is not enough to determine vacuum speed or cycle rate.

An external suction machine removes air directly from the bag, which is generally embossed: it is mainly suitable for solid products. A chamber machine removes air from the entire chamber and generally uses smooth bags. It is better suited to liquids and sustained throughput, provided you choose a model sized for your requirements.

Start with bag width: choose a sealing bar of the appropriate size—around 30, 40 or 50 cm depending on the model—and check that its usable length suits your bags. A 30 cm width is suitable for small portions, while 40 or 50 cm accommodates larger products and bags. Our professional machines range from 290 to 900 W: for consecutive cycles, also compare pump flow rate and the stated cycle rate, not wattage alone. For liquids and sauces, choose a chamber machine and check its internal chamber dimensions.

Yes, with a suitable chamber machine, provided you follow the fill-level limits and the manufacturer’s instructions. Preparations must be cooled before packing: a hot liquid can boil under vacuum and overflow. Do not draw liquids directly into an external suction machine unless it is designed for this purpose.

External suction machines generally use embossed bags or rolls, while chamber machines use smooth bags. Check the sealing width, supported bag thickness and food-contact suitability. If you intend to cook the food, choose a bag explicitly rated for the required temperature and cooking time.

There is no universal storage time: it depends on the food, its freshness, preparation hygiene and storage temperature. Vacuum sealing does not sterilise food and is not a substitute for refrigeration or freezing: observe the required temperature for each foodstuff. In a professional setting, storage periods must be validated in your food safety management plan; a use-by date must not be extended solely because the product has been vacuum sealed.

Not necessarily. A bag intended for storage is not always designed to withstand prolonged cooking. Use only bags that the manufacturer explicitly states are suitable for cooking, and observe the specified temperature and time limits.

Unplug the machine and allow it to cool before cleaning the food-contact surfaces, seals and sealing area in accordance with the manual. Remove any residue, avoid abrasive products and inspect wear parts regularly. On oil-pump models, check the oil level and change the oil at the intervals specified by the manufacturer.
