Intervac Twin Chamber Vacuum Packer Type: INV 11/11

• Extending shelf life for perishable food items such as meats, cheeses, and prepared meals.
• Packaging non-food items sensitive to oxidation or moisture, including electronics and medical supplies.
• Portion control and bulk packaging in food service and catering operations.
• Preparing products for sous-vide cooking by removing air from packaging.

Typical throughput

Twin chamber machines of this type are designed for continuous operation, allowing one chamber to be loaded while the other is cycling, significantly increasing throughput compared to single-chamber units.

Seal length

Units in this class commonly feature seal bars ranging from 500mm to 800mm per chamber, accommodating various bag sizes.

Chamber dimensions

Typical chamber sizes for double vacuum packers allow for packaging of larger cuts or multiple smaller items simultaneously, often around 600mm x 700mm per chamber.

Power supply

Industrial vacuum packers commonly operate on three-phase power (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) for optimal performance, though some smaller units may use single-phase.

Footprint

Mobile twin chamber units typically have a footprint suitable for industrial kitchens or processing plants, often around 1.5m x 1m.

Construction material

For food processing applications, units are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Vacuum pump

These machines commonly feature robust vacuum pumps, with capacities suitable for rapid evacuation of air from two chambers.

• What are the benefits of a twin chamber vacuum packer over a single chamber unit?

  Twin chamber units offer higher productivity as one chamber can be loaded and unloaded while the other is in its vacuum cycle. This reduces downtime and increases overall throughput.

• Is this type of machine suitable for liquids or products with high moisture content?

• What kind of maintenance is typically required for a vacuum packer?

• Can this machine be integrated into an existing production line?

• What types of packaging materials are compatible with this equipment?

Vacuum packaging equipment holds a solid reputation in food processing for extending shelf life and maintaining product quality. Buyers typically prioritize seal consistency, chamber durability, and ease of operation when selecting used models. Industry sentiment favours machines with reliable vacuum pump performance and straightforward maintenance access. Common strengths include cost savings over new equipment, proven track records from established manufacturers, and compatibility with various packaging materials. Prospective buyers should inspect sealing bars, vacuum gauges, and prior service history carefully.
