Commercial Vacuum Packaging & Sealing Machines

A chamber vacuum sealer places the entire bag inside a sealed chamber, making it ideal for liquids, marinades, soups, sauces, and high-volume food packaging. An external vacuum sealer removes air from the outside of the bag and is best suited for dry foods, smaller operations, and occasional commercial use.

Commercial vacuum sealers can package a wide variety of foods, including:

• Fresh meat and poultry
• Seafood and fish
• Cheese and dairy products
• Fruits and vegetables
• Prepared meals
• Deli meats
• Sauces and soups (with chamber sealers)
• Dry goods such as coffee, spices, nuts, and grains
• Sous vide meal portions

Restaurants benefit from commercial vacuum sealers by reducing food waste, extending product shelf life, improving inventory management, maintaining food quality, supporting sous vide cooking, and lowering overall food costs.

Consider the following factors:

• Daily packaging volume
• Chamber or external sealing design
• Bag size compatibility
• Pump capacity
• Seal bar length
• Available workspace
• Types of food being packaged
• Electrical requirements
• Cleaning and maintenance needs

Selecting the correct machine ensures efficient operation and long-term reliability.

Yes. Chamber vacuum sealers are specifically designed to package liquids such as soups, sauces, marinades, stews, and gravies without spilling during the sealing process. External vacuum sealers are generally recommended only for dry or minimally moist foods.

Routine maintenance includes:

• Inspecting and replacing sealing strips when needed
• Checking lid gaskets for wear
• Changing vacuum pump oil (for oil-lubricated models) according to the manufacturer's schedule
• Keeping the machine dry and free of food debris
• Performing regular inspections to ensure optimal performance

Following the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations helps maximize machine life.
