Vacuum sealer vs. vacuum chamber
If you want to vacuum pack your product, you can choose between a vacuum sealer and a vacuum chamber. The right choice depends on several factors, such as the type of product, packaging requirements, and production volume. The overview below clearly explains the differences between a vacuum sealer and a vacuum chamber, helping you determine which solution best fits your needs.
Vacuum sealers
- Vacuum up to 70%
- Pouch dimension limited by seal bar dimensions
- External air supply needed
- Stores 9 - 50 settings with vac/gas in different order: Vac, gas, seal and cool time adjustable
- Can start with gas flush
- Packaging can be completely filled with gas (balloon bag)
- Horizontal and vertical adjustable
- No vacuum meter display on digital panel
- Lower gas usage by blowing gas directly into the pouch
- Standard double sided heating (bi-active)
- Standard 5 mm seal PSR
- Standard 8 mm PSR TC and PSR PLUS. (Optional 10 mm)
- Venturi pump
- 1 packaging per cycle
- Pedal has to be operated to start cycle
- Only the packaging is vacuumed
Vacuum chambers
- Vacuum more than 70% (±99,98%)
- Pouch dimensions limited by chamber dimensions
- No external air supply needed
- Stores 1-10 settings which can be programmed with vacuum, gas, seal time or f.i. soft air
- Cannot start with gas flush
- Packaging can not be filled completely with gas
- Horizontal sealing (special insert plates for liquids)
- Digital panel with vacuum meter
- Higher gas usage due to filling the entire chamber with gas
- Double sided heating (bi-active) is optional
- Standard 3,5 mm double seal
- Optional 8 mm, cut off and bi-active seal (5 mm)
- Busch (oil) pump
- Several packagings per cycle possible
- Only close the lid
- Complete chamber is vacuumed
Which machine is right for you?
Choose a Vacuum Sealer if you value flexibility in gas and vacuum sequencing, prefer moderate vacuum to protect fragile or shaped items from deformation, work with single packs most of the time, want to minimize gas costs, or are looking for a more accessible entry-level solution. It's adaptable across a wide range of uses where gentle handling and process control matter.
Opt for a Vacuum Chamber if you need maximum vacuum depth for the best possible preservation, want to seal several packages at once for higher throughput, deal with products requiring extreme air removal (like powders, moist items, or highly sensitive goods), or run more intensive, professional operations.
