Chamber vacuum unit ORVED BHSE25

A vacuum packing machine removes air from a bag or container before sealing it, locking in freshness and extending shelf life without preservatives. The Evox25 draws air out of the chamber with a pump, creating a near-total vacuum that collapses around the food. This method prevents oxidation, slows bacterial growth and preserves texture, colour and flavour far longer than cling film or ordinary storage.

To operate, place the food in a compatible bag or reusable container inside the chamber. Close the lid; the machine starts automatically. The touch panel offers two preset programmes: storage for dry or solid items, and cooking for sous-vide preparation. A third setting, H2Out, humidifies the pump to handle moist or liquid products without clogging. Four tightness levels let the operator choose how firmly the bag is sealed, from a light grip for delicate items to a full weld for liquids or sharp edges. Once the cycle finishes, the lid unlocks and the sealed bag is ready for refrigeration, freezing or cooking.

The Evox25 is built on a stainless-steel frame and chamber. A 260 mm sealing rod runs across the front and can be removed for cleaning. An external vacuum accessory, sold separately, allows sealing without placing the bag inside the chamber. The pump moves 4 cubic metres of air per hour, pulling 99.99% of the air out in the storage programme and an extra measure in the cooking programme to intensify aroma and colour before sous-vide cooking.

Powered at 0.3 kW and 220-240 V, the unit plugs into a standard single-phase circuit. Its footprint of 444 by 477 mm fits on most worktops, and its 22 kg weight allows one person to move it without a trolley. The maximum bag size is 250 by 300 mm, so larger items must be portioned before packing.

Cleaning is straightforward: wipe the stainless-steel surfaces with a damp cloth, remove and rinse the sealing rod, and empty the pump humidifier after each use. The touch panel has no moving parts and needs only a dry wipe.

Two preset programmes cover most tasks, while the four tightness levels and H2Out setting adapt to different foods. An external vacuum accessory extends the machine's use to bags that do not fit inside the chamber.
