This vacuum chamber packaging machine uses the vacuum sealing method to airtight pack food. Vacuum
packaging is an easy and efficient way of packaging a variety of food, because it can prevent spoilage and
extend the shelf life of food. The lack of air in the bag hinders hinder the growth of bacteria and molds. You can
buy food in large quantities and vacuum pack them without the threat of food waste.
However, please keep in mind that not all kinds of food can benefit from vacuum packaging. Never use vacuum
packaging to store garlic or fungi such as mushrooms. A dangerous chemical reaction will take place when air
is removed, causing these foods to be dangerous if ingested. Vegetables should be washed and peeled before
packaging to kill any enzymes that may cause deterioration when air is removed under vacuum packaging.
