Extend the freshness of your food and reduce waste
Adopting good food preservation practices is an asset in the kitchen. They extend the freshness of products while reducing food waste, as well as save time and space. Here’s an overview of the different packaging devices available and the key features of each.
Chamber Vacuum
Chamber vacuum machines are the ideal choice for professionals looking for performance and durability. Designed for intensive use, they are perfect for restaurants and commercial kitchens where food preparation can benefit from fast, uniform, and reliable vacuum sealing.
Chamber vacuum sealers are compatible with both smooth and textured bags. Most bags can therefore be used with these models, offering greater flexibility for sealingfood, both for storage and for sous vide cooking.
Featured model:
• The Atmovac Diablo 12 Chamber Vacuum Machine is well known as an affordable option for professionals who want a reliable and easy-to-use solution.
External Vacuum
More compact, external vacuum sealers are suitable for kitchens where space is limited. They are an affordable option for professionals looking to get started with vacuum sealing in a simple way, those who need a practical solution for occasional use, or those who prefer to prepare their food in small portions.
Note that external vacuum sealers are only compatible with embossed or textured bags, a widely available and easy-to-find format, although the choice of bags is more limited.
Our favorite:
• The Atmovac SAFEPAC Vacuum Sealer has proven itself in home kitchens and is particularly appreciated for its compact and quiet design.
Impulse Sealers
The principle behind impulse sealers is simple: an electrical impulse heats a wire, melting the plastic, welding the two layers together to create a seal that cannot be broken. This seal is strong and can only be opened by cutting it. It is a practical device for quickly and hermetically packaging food, including sweets, nuts, popcorn, or any other dry food.
Must-haves:
• For a compact and efficient packaging solution, the Atmovac Manual Impulse Sealer is ideal. With a sealing time of 0.2 to 3 seconds, packaging is done in no time.
• The Atmovac Freestanding Impulse Sealer is perfect for larger-scale production. It allows you to print the production date and expiration date on the packaging.
Hand Wrappers
For plastic film packaging, a hand wrapper is the device of choice. Found in many commercial environments, it quickly wraps food for storage or sale, such as meat, produce, baked goods, and prepared meals. The hot rod cut-off bar ensures clean, consistent cuts every time.
Our recommendation:
• For grocery stores, hotels, and restaurants, the Atmovac KW450 Wrapping Machine is ideal for frequent use that requires a reliable and robust device.
Key takeaways
Whether you are discovering vacuum sealing options for the first time or are already familiar with this packaging technique, the models available on the market have something to offer all professionals looking to incorporate a sealing device into their kitchen. Choosing a model that suits your workspace and frequency of use will ensure a sustainable and profitable investment.
