ORVED VM98 Vacuum Packing Machine for Professional Kitchens

A vacuum packing machine removes air from a bag before sealing it, locking out oxygen to extend shelf life and preserve freshness. The ORVED VM98 draws air out through a pump, creating a tight seal around food, dry goods or sharp items without crushing them. The process slows spoilage, prevents freezer burn and keeps flavours intact, making it essential for small to medium laboratories and professional kitchens.

The machine operates by placing the open end of a smooth vacuum bag over the sealing bar. A retractable probe, patented by ORVED, lowers into the bag to extract air evenly, avoiding punctures even with pointed products. Once the vacuum level is reached, the machine seals the bag automatically, leaving a smooth, airtight finish. A stainless steel shelf supports the bag during the cycle, keeping it steady and correctly positioned.

To use the VM98, place the product inside a smooth vacuum bag, ensuring the open end is aligned with the sealing bar. Lower the lid and start the cycle. The machine handles the rest: air is removed, the bag is sealed, and the lid releases when the process is complete. The oil-free, self-lubricating pump requires no maintenance beyond routine cleaning, and the stainless steel construction resists corrosion and wear.

Built entirely from stainless steel, the VM98 is durable and easy to clean. The compact 490 x 415 x 200 mm footprint fits on a worktop or counter, while the 20 kg weight allows it to be moved when needed. It runs on a standard 220-240 V single-phase supply, suitable for most professional kitchens and small laboratories.

The machine's 1 kW power rating reflects its efficient vacuum pump, which achieves high performance without excessive energy use. The voltage range of 220-240 V ensures compatibility with standard UK and European electrical systems, while the 50-60 Hz frequency supports stable operation.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel surfaces and sealing bar after each use to remove food debris or moisture. The oil-free pump eliminates the need for oil changes, reducing upkeep. The retractable probe and shelf should be checked periodically for residue to maintain smooth operation.

The VM98 is designed for packaging solid, small and medium-sized products, including dry goods and sharp or pointed items. Its compact size and ease of use make it suitable for laboratories, delis, butchers and catering operations where space is limited but professional-grade packaging is required.
