Vacuum chamber machines are machines that seal edible items of 
food in a plastic  bag for preservation. These machines have strong 
vacuuming power which helps in  removing the air from food in the 
plastic bag. Vacuum chamber machines are often  used in commercial 
kitchens. However, there are benchtop models like single  double 
chamber machines used in homes.
The food preservation process is quite simple. Through vacuum 
chamber machines  excellent food preservation rates are achieved 
which minimizes wastage and  spoilage.
Understanding The Process
The food is placed in special plastic pouches which are put inside the chamber. The open end of 
the pouch is placed  under the sealer and the vacuum chamber machine extracts all the air from 
the pouch which is later on sealed with  heat.
Extreme heat is used to seal these pouches so ordinary plastic pouches are not used with vacuum 
chamber machines.  In the home setting, a vacuum chamber machine is a good investment because 
it helps in minimizing food and money  wastage. It preserves the quality of your food. When food is 
frozen with air trapped inside the pouch, this leads to the  product’s deterioration and 
discoloration. But when the air is removed, there is no oxygen present for the bacteria to  thrive. 
The freshness and color of the product are retained in frozen food items, which results in a tastier 
and healthier  product.
There are different types of vacuum chamber machines. So, it is recommended to buy it from a 
reputable  manufacturing company i.e., Vacumatic, Australia. The team at Vacumatic have specialists 
who will help you in deciding  the right machine model for your needs. The experts will also explain 
how to use them and will offer other products  that may be useful for you.
How To Choose Between Suction and Chamber Sealers?
This is one of the most common questions we hear from people who want to buy 
vacuum chamber  machines. When you decide that a vacuum sealer is a great 
addition to your life, the next step  would be to choose the right machine. It can be 
a daunting task. So, to help you out, we have  discussed the important things that 
you must consider before making a final purchase.
The first thing you need to decide is if you want a chamber machine or a 
suction machine. This  decision should be based on how you plan to use the 
vacuum chamber machine.
Vacuum Chamber Sealer
This question is a million-dollar question. Can you 
vacuum seal  liquids? Yes, you can vacuum seal 
liquids. You may need a  chamber vacuum machine 
to do so.
Soups
Marinad
es  
Beverag
es
If you want to use a vacuum sealer for any of the 
above items,  you would want to follow the route of 
vacuum chamber rather  than suction. You will be able 
to vacuum seal liquids in a chamber  machine because 
instead of removing air from the pouch, it  removes 
the air from the entire chamber leaving equal air  
pressure inside and outside the pouch, therefore, 
keeping the  liquid secure inside the pouch.
Suction Vacuum Sealer Machine
The suction vacuum sealer machines are traditional 
vacuum  sealers. These are also called external 
vacuum sealers. The  suction vacuum sealer machines 
suck the air out of the pouch  and then provide an 
airtight seal. These machines are perfect to  use 
around the home which allows vacuum sealing a lot 
of items  such as:
Food leftovers
Coffee 
beans/grounds  
Out of season 
clothing  Extra 
bedding  Firearms
Duo Vacuum Sealers
Of course, at this point, you might be thinking that you can use both vacuum sealer machines. 
While you can  buy any, we offer custom-built vacuum chamber machines. Our machines will 
give you the best of both worlds,  the ability to seal items without affecting the quality of the 
food item.
The Vacuum Sealing Guide
Reducing food waste and spoilage is important to any food service operation, and using a 
vacuum chamber  machine is a great way to do just it.
The products that are vacuum packed can last up to 3-5 times longer than the non-
packaged foods. The food  will also taste fresher and better because you will be removing 
most of the factors that cause them to break  down.
Advantages of 
Vacuum  Sealing 
Food
Preserving the Food Quality
By removing air from the bag, you prevent bacteria 
growth and  also protect foods from dehydration and 
freezer burn. Your food  will also retain a high degree 
of freshness that too for a longer  time period.
Save Time
With sous vide cooking i.e., long-time cooking, 
vacuum-sealed  portions require less attention than 
they would if cooked with  other methods.
Even if you don’t cook sous vide, it will be helpful to 
package  individual servings so that when your 
employees go to prepare a  meal, they are consistent 
and are able to practice portion control.
Save Money
Vacuum packaging rapidly increases the shelf life of 
food, hence  reduces waste and saves you a lot of 
money and time. Many food  items see dramatic 
increases in how long they can be stored:  Food Types
Dry 
Goods  
Cheese  
Fish
Cut Meat  
Ground 
Meat  
Vegetables  
Berries
What Foods Can You Vacuum Seal?
Almost any food can be vacuumed easily such as meats, hard fruits, and vegetables. However, there are a 
few exceptions that  either require more attention or which should not be sealed at all.
Blanch Before Vacuum Sealing Item
Broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, cabbage, and turnips can be vacuum sealed, but these must be 
blanched first. Boil the  items briefly, submerge in ice water to stop the cooking process. In this manner, 
you will be able to seal safely. Blanching halts  enzyme production which deteriorates quality and color 
with time.
What Should Not Be Vacuum-Sealed?
The food items such as mushrooms, garlic, and soft / unpasteurized cheeses like Brie and Ricotta should 
not be vacuum sealed.  These products are at risk of containing anaerobic bacteria, which can grow and 
thrive within the oxygen-free environment  inside the vacuum pouch.
