Vacuum machine for delicatessen meats

Do you need a vacuum packaging machine to extend the shelf life of your deli meats? Whether you are a professional or an individual, this guide is for you.
Ham, sausage, Bündnerfleisch (air-dried beef), or black pudding: these products are delicate. Oxidation alters their color and taste very quickly. Discover the two best machines to protect them effectively.
1. For Home Use: The Standard 290W Machine
Give your deli meats optimal preservation. With its 290W power and double pump, this machine ensures a perfect vacuum to prevent your ham slices from turning grey.
Its advantage? The "Pulse" function which allows you to stop the suction manually so as not to crush the delicate cured meats (chiffonnade).

Designed for butchers and delicatessen owners, this machine is a workhorse. With 475W of power, it handles packaging non-stop.
Its wide sealing bar (5mm) guarantees a complete seal, even if a little grease accumulates on the edge of the bag. It's the essential tool for selling your sliced products or whole pieces.

To complement these machines, the use of rolls is often more economical than pre-cut bags, especially for long pieces such as whole sausages or dried tenderloins.
