Chamber Vacuum Equipment — BHS offers chamber vacuum equipment (chamber-type vacuum sealers) to restaurants, hotels, meat processing companies, catering companies and other HoReCa businesses: a chamber vacuum sealer is a professional packaging machine in which the vacuum bag with the product is placed inside a fully enclosed chamber; the machine extracts air from the entire chamber — both from inside the bag and from the surrounding environment in the chamber — and seals the bag with a heat seal; chamber-type machines provide a higher vacuum level than external machines and can process liquid products (marinades, soups, juices) without the risk of liquid entering the suction mechanism; chamber vacuum machines can use smooth (non-embossed) vacuum bags, which are cheaper than specialized embossed bags; BHS offers chamber vacuum equipment together with Vacuum Bags and Boxes to HoReCa businesses.
See also External Vacuum Equipment for a smaller-scale and budget solution and Thermoforming Vacuum Equipment for high-volume production companies — BHS provides a full range of vacuum packaging equipment.
Chamber Vacuum Equipment — professional chamber-type vacuum packaging machines are the standard in HoReCa kitchens that face medium or high-volume packaging needs on a daily basis; chamber machines provide a significantly higher vacuum level compared to external machines, can process liquid products and allow the use of smooth bags — these factors make them a long-term investment for restaurants, delicatessens, meat processing companies and catering companies.
Operating principle of chamber vacuum equipment
Chamber Vacuum Equipment — in chamber vacuum machines, the vacuum bag with the product is placed inside a fully enclosed chamber and the chamber lid is closed; the machine’s pump extracts air from the entire chamber space — both from inside the bag and from the surrounding environment in the chamber. Chamber mechanism — since the same air pressure is achieved inside the chamber and inside the bag, the bag can be smooth without a channel structure; after extracting the air, the machine seals the end of the bag with a heat seal; after sealing, the chamber equalizes pressure and the lid is opened. Vacuum level — chamber machines provide a higher vacuum level (up to 99% air extraction) than external machines; this high vacuum level is critical for sous vide cooking and long-term food storage; see Vacuum Bags for suitable smooth bags. BHS provides chamber vacuum equipment across Europe.
Advantages of chamber vacuum equipment
Chamber Vacuum Equipment — the main advantages of chamber-type machines compared to external machines are a higher vacuum level, greater product variety and lower bag costs. Liquid processing — since liquid is not drawn through the suction mechanism, chamber machines can vacuum products with a high liquid content: marinades, soup bases, juices, sauces; this capability is not available in external machine format. For sous vide needs — the high vacuum level and the ability to vacuum the product together with marinade provide the best results in sous vide cooking; a complete vacuum prevents air bubbles that can interfere with even heat transfer; see External Vacuum Equipment for a more compact and affordable alternative solution.
Chamber vacuum equipment models — counter-top and floor-standing
Chamber Vacuum Equipment — chamber vacuum machines are available in counter-top and larger floor-standing models depending on packaging needs. Counter-top models — more compact, suitable for medium-volume restaurants, delicatessens and canteens; the chamber width determines the maximum bag size; counter-top models are a more economical investment with sufficient capacity for most HoReCa businesses. Floor-standing models — larger chamber capacity, faster vacuum cycle, suitable for high-volume meat processing companies, large canteens and catering companies; see Thermoforming Vacuum Equipment for higher-volume production needs.
HoReCa use scenarios for chamber vacuum equipment
Restaurant with a sous vide program — in a restaurant with daily sous vide cooking, a chamber vacuum machine ensures the required vacuum level: pieces of meat, fish and vegetables are marinated and packaged in the chamber together with aromatic spices; the high vacuum level speeds up the marinating process and provides an ideal environment for sous vide cooking; BHS equipment provides a professional solution. Meat processing company — in a butcher shop or processing company, a chamber machine is used for packaging pieces of meat, sausages and delicatessens for storage or sale. High-volume catering company — in a catering company, a chamber machine allows systematic packaging of hundreds of portions; BHS provides the products. BHS offers chamber vacuum equipment to HoReCa businesses across Europe.
Frequently asked questions
Can liquid products be vacuumed in a chamber vacuum machine? Chamber Vacuum Equipment — yes, a chamber machine is designed for vacuuming liquid products; the liquid remains in the bag in the chamber and is not drawn through the pump; it is important to leave enough empty space at the top of the bag so that the liquid does not overflow the bag’s edge; see also Liquid Vacuumizing Equipment for specialized solutions.
What size vacuum bag can be used in a chamber machine? Chamber Vacuum Equipment — the maximum bag size depends on the internal dimensions of the chamber in the specific model; the bag must not be wider than the chamber; the length of the product to be packaged must match the chamber depth; specify the exact chamber dimensions with BHS specialists; see Vacuum Bags and Boxes.
