When food is not properly stored, it can affect the taste or even cause it to spoil. A chamber vacuum sealer can actually save money by preventing food spoilage.

Given the capacity to create airtight bags, the vacuum chamber machine functions slower compared to regular vacuum sealers. Finding the right chamber style sealer is critical to getting the best results. A high-end machine will provide flexibility to calibrate settings and to achieve the exact seal you need. One of the advantages of using the product is scale.

The main purpose of food vacuum sealers is to remove the oxygen from the food in the Foodsaver bag, which preserves the food contents longer. The growth of mould and bacteria is significantly slowed down when the oxygen is removed. So how do food vacuum sealers work?

Firstly, a Foodsaver bag also known as food vacuum bags, cryovac bags, vacuum packaging bags with the food contents inside it is placed into the food vacuum machine and the air is removed from the bag. During this process, no other air is able to enter the bag. Once the air is removed from the Foodsaver bag, the bag is sealed. The bag needs to be sealed very securely to remain closed and air unable to enter.

If there is another problem with the machine please contact us first. We can service all of our vacuum sealers. If you have another brand of vacuum sealer our heat strips may fit but the seal kits will need to be sort from where you bought the machine. Are you trying to vacuum seal moist items, for example frozen meat or fish? Firstly pat all raw meat dry to eliminate as much blood and juice from the outer surface.

If there is a lot of liquid try to put the meat or fish in a bag, then take a paper towl and fold it into a strip. Place the folded paper towel in the bag in between the item and the point of the bag that will be sealed.

Place the open end of the bag in the vacuum sealer, close the lid and start the vacuum sealing process. The paper towel traps excess liquid and does not affect the taste of food. If the unit seals properly, you should be able to vacuum pack and seal bags. While examining the equipment, check the seal for any cracks, dents or food particles. Clean the seal by wiping it with a sponge or soft cloth. A clean seal guarantees perfect vacuum sealing. First examine the seal of the bag.

Any wrinkles along the seal may cause leakage and allow air to enter. Simply cut the bag and reseal. Sometimes moisture or food material such as juices, grease, crumbs, powders along the seal prevents the bag from sealing properly. To prevent this we recommend inserting a paper towel, similar to covering sharp edges, a paper towel absorbs moisture near the seal. Insure you are using a good quality vacuum sealer bag like we supply at food vacuum sealers Australia. Use a new bag if there is a puncture hole.

If you experience any fermentation or detect the release of natural gases from inside the bag, your food may have begun to spoil and should be discarded immediately.
