Vacuum Packaging
Removing air from the pack remains the simplest, most proven way to extend the life of meat, fish, cheese, and prepared foods. Vacuum packaging machines evacuate the pack and seal it in one cycle, cutting oxygen driven spoilage, freezer burn, and wasted product. Machinery Masters lists single and double chamber machines, belt fed vacuum packers, vacuum skin systems, and external sealers from verified sellers across every production scale. Compare chamber sizes, pump capacities, and seal bar configurations, and contact sellers directly to make sure the machine fits your bag sizes and daily throughput.

Vacuum Packaging Product Types
Vacuum machinery scales from countertop units to continuous belt systems. The vacuum packaging formats covered below are the ones buyers ask for most.
Single Chamber Vacuum Machines
The operator places the filled bag in the chamber, closes the lid, and the machine evacuates and seals automatically. They suit butchers, delis, and small producers packing up to a few hundred packs a day.
Double Chamber Machines
Two chambers share one pump, so the operator loads one side while the other cycles, roughly doubling output. Swing lid designs keep a steady rhythm for medium volume meat and cheese packing.
Belt Fed Vacuum Packers
Products travel on a conveyor into a large chamber that cycles automatically, taking heavy lifting out of packing bulky primals and whole products. Automatic unloading feeds shrink tanks or dryers downstream.
Vacuum Skin Packaging Machines
Skin units draw film over product on a board or tray, presenting meat and fish with a premium sculpted appearance. The intimate film contact extends shelf life beyond standard vacuum bags.
External Suction Sealers
These machines evacuate through the bag mouth without a chamber, handling oversized items chambers cannot fit. They suit low volumes and awkward products rather than continuous production.
Brands on Machinery Masters

Why Choose Machinery Masters
Verified Sellers Only
Every seller is verified before a single listing goes live. Machinery Masters also reviews listings for accuracy, so buyers can commit to high value machinery with confidence.
Global Reach
Listings come from sellers across Europe, North America, and beyond. That reach widens the options past any regional dealer network, and it is often the only way to find discontinued models in good condition.
Flexible Financing Options
Qualifying listings carry financing through partner providers. Terms are shown directly on eligible product pages, spreading the cost instead of draining working capital in one hit.
Direct Seller Contact
No broker sits between the buyer and the seller. Ask about service history, arrange inspections, and negotiate directly with the person who actually knows the machine.
Applications and Uses
Vacuum packing runs through the protein and dairy supply chain from cutting room to retail counter. These four settings capture its main working environments.
Butchery and Meat Cutting Plants
Cutting rooms vacuum pack primals, portions, and offal for wholesale and retail supply. Chamber machines with twin seal bars keep pace with boning lines through the day.
Cheese Maturation and Despatch
Dairies vacuum pack blocks and wedges to halt rind growth and moisture loss during storage and transport. Consistent vacuum levels protect texture on cheeses that mature for months.
Fish Processing and Smokehouses
Smoked salmon, fillets, and shellfish are vacuum packed or skin packed for chilled and frozen distribution. Removing oxygen protects delicate flavours and colour that define premium fish products.
Sous Vide and Prepared Food Kitchens
Central kitchens vacuum pack ingredients and finished dishes for sous vide cooking and controlled regeneration. Accurate vacuum and seal control is essential when the pack goes straight into a water bath.
Benefits from Machinery Masters
The marketplace brings clarity to a category where machines look similar but differ where it counts.
Vacuum Solutions from Counter to Conveyor
Countertop chambers, double chamber workhorses, belt machines, and skin packers all sit in one corner of the site's packaging equipment listings, whatever your daily pack count.
Pump Life Priced in Your Favour
A used vacuum packer with a healthy pump delivers years of work at well below new cost, with new vacuum packaging machines alongside where hygiene design or warranty matters most.
Duty History You Can Actually Ask About
Pump hours, oil change history, and seal bar condition determine what you are really buying. Speaking directly with the seller surfaces that history in a way no anonymous auction will.
Frequently Asked Questions About Vacuum Packaging
Measure your largest product in its bag, then allow clearance around the seal bar and lid dome height for bulky items. Chamber machines are specified by chamber dimensions and seal bar length, and going one size up rarely hurts. If products exceed practical chamber sizes, a belt machine or external sealer becomes the answer.
The pump is the single most valuable component, so its condition largely defines the machine's worth. Ask for pump hours, oil change records, and evidence of ultimate vacuum achieved, and listen for knocking or laboured running during a demonstration. A machine needing a pump overhaul can still be a good buy if the price reflects it.
Yes, chamber machines handle liquids well because pressure equalises inside and outside the bag, preventing the suck out that external sealers suffer. Marinated meats, soups, and brined products pack cleanly with the right vacuum profile. Liquid control inserts and inclined chamber plates help where products are especially wet.
Standard vacuum packing seals product in a bag with air removed, while skin packing drapes heated film over product on a board for a tight, presentation grade finish. Skin packs command higher retail prices and hold product immobile, but the machines and films cost more. Many processors run both, bags for wholesale and skin for retail lines.
Because you deal with sellers directly, timescales depend only on the two of you, and used machines are typically available immediately. Many buyers inspect, agree, and arrange transport within the same week. If financing a qualifying listing, starting the application early keeps funding in step with the machine's availability.
