It is not limited by space. The mobile chamber vacuum sealer can be widely applied in restaurants, food retailers, supermarkets, and food manufacturers.

According to the quantities of chambers, the chamber vacuum sealers can be divided into the single chamber vacuum sealer and the double chamber vacuum sealer:

Single Chamber Vacuum Sealer

The single-chamber vacuum sealer only contains one chamber, and It is suitable for vacuum packaging larger items. They are equipped with 2 pieces of sealing bars which form an L-form to meet the demands of packaging different-sized pouches. It is also suitable for non-food products with different bag sizes and bag length requirements.

Double Chamber Vacuum Sealer

The double-chamber vacuum sealer is designed with two chambers, and it is suitable for vacuum packaging for higher efficiency and speed. It can finish the whole program of vacuum extraction, gas flushing (optional), sealing, cooling, and exhausting automatically with a reliable and durable design.

FoodSavers

The FoodSavers also referred to as the FoodSavers vacuum sealers, is the best device for kitchen vacuum packaging and sealing. They are working in a way of sucking all the air in the FoodSavers bags and applying the heat sealing to seal the bag's mouth. It is always designed as a rectangular pencil case for portable use.

4. What Are The Working Principles Of Chamber Vacuum Sealers And FoodSavers?

The working principles are simple for the chamber vacuum sealers and FoodSavers:

Working Principle Of Chamber Vacuum Sealer

• The vacuum packaging of chamber vacuum sealers consists of 3 steps, including vacuum extraction, vacuum bag sealing and aeration of the chamber.
• First you need to put the product into a vacuum bag of suitable size and material. Place the end of the bag over the seal. If you are sealing liquid products or products with high fluidity, you can use an insert plate or mold to fix the bag in place.
• When you have secured the bag and the closure, you can close the lids of the chamber vacuum sealers. Then start the machine. At this point, the vacuum pump will start to pull air out of the vacuum chamber.
• When evacuating, the entire chamber is in a vacuum state, and the pressure inside the vacuum bag is equal to that inside the chamber.
• When the entire chamber reaches a predetermined vacuum pressure, the sealing rod begins to close. The sealing rod is heated to melt the seal of the bag.
• When the product is securely and well sealed, the vacuum pump stops and the entire chamber automatically begins to depressurize. When the vacuum chamber is depressurized, you can open the lid. The entire product vacuum packaging and sealing process has been completed.

Working Principle Of FoodSavers

• First, you need to put the product evenly and neatly into the vacuum bag. Do not put too much content at one time, otherwise, it will affect the effect of vacuuming.
• Place the prepared vacuum bag neatly in the suction area. Remember not to vacuum seal liquid or liquid products.
• Activate the start key.
• When the vacuum seal is complete, turn the air release valve to open the upper cover.
• Finally, check whether the sealed product is successful.
