What kind of bags can I use with this machine?

Chamber vacuum packers require specific channel-free, smooth vacuum bags, often referred to as 'chamber bags'. These are different from the embossed bags used with external suction machines.

Is this machine suitable for liquids?

Yes, chamber vacuum packers are designed to handle liquids and moist products effectively, as the vacuum is created within the entire chamber, preventing liquid from being drawn into the pump.

What maintenance does a vacuum packer typically require?

Routine maintenance usually involves checking and changing the vacuum pump oil, cleaning the chamber and seal bar, and inspecting the lid gasket for wear. Specific intervals will be in the manufacturer's manual.

Can this machine be used for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP)?

While primarily a vacuum packer, some Lavezzini START models can be fitted with an optional gas flush kit for MAP, allowing inert gas to be introduced before sealing. Buyers should confirm this feature with the seller.

What is the typical cycle time for a unit like this?

The vacuum cycle time for a tabletop unit typically ranges from 20 to 40 seconds, depending on the product, bag size, and desired vacuum level.
