THE DAVID AND GOLIATH OF VACUUM SEALING MACHINES
Why Food Vacuum Sealers can compete with Heavy Duty Chamber Machines when vacuum sealing
Everyone who has worked in the hospitality will know about the big bulky vacuum sealing chamber machines that vacuum seal left overs at the end of the day. Just by looking at one of these huge machines, you can tell they mean serious business. Being around 8 times more expensive than table-top vacuum sealers, you would expect them to be a far superior model.

No matter the model, chamber machines for vacuum sealing are more high maintenance than the Kardashians! So, why do we still bother using them?
Food Vacuum Sealers vs Chamber Machines
Because chamber machines are designed for industrial and commercial use, they are manufactured on a larger scale. Often weighing between 45kg and 90kg. Because of this, they need to stay in one place.
Due to the larger scale, traditional chamber machines also require routine maintenance. Depending on the model, chamber machines often operate on oil-based vacuum pumps. They require re-oiling. Some units use an impulse mechanism in order to heat seal the pouches. Meaning teflon and seal wires will also need to be routinely replaced. Others utilise a heating bar that can also have a short life expectancy.
It must be mentioned that chamber machines can be cost effective when it comes to vacuum sealer bags. Averaging at around 20c a bag, it’s cheap to use. A domestic or commercial vacuum sealer requires bags which average around 50c - 60c per unit, however, they are reusable.
