7. BENEFITS OF VACUUM PACKING
Oxygen provokes a chemical change on food and is an
important factor in the formation of moulds and bacte-
ria. As a consequence, grease can go rancid, food colo-
ur changes, moulds and bacteria multiply, and flavour,
vitamins, aroma and minerals are lost. Vacuum packing
holds up such undesired effects, prolongs shelf life and
preserves food quality. Only with the help of vacuum
packing, i.e. removing air from packing using manual or
pump, a suitable environment required to extend food
freshness can be established. The process of vacuum
packing in containers or bags creates negative pressure.
Vacuum machine, containers and universal lids are
indispensable in every kitchen. They are intended for
natural storing of food and extending shelf life of raw
and boiled food without losing its quality. Storing in the
refrigerator, pantry or packaging that extends food fre-
shness does not prevent the oxygen coming in contact
with food.
We also have to mention that Status' FV500 helps you
save money, since you can buy in bulk, repackage your
purchase in portions and then vacuum package. Food
can be divided into smaller serving portions, vacuum
packaged and stored in the refrigerator for a longer
period of time.
PROBLEM:
WHAT TO DO:
The vacuum doesn’t
hold on the bags.
• Check the sealing areas of the lid are free from any dirt, grease or food particles, and
that they are firmly in place.
• Ensure that the bag is totally clean on the edges – thoroughly remove any food parti-
cles or liquid and ensure the bag is completely dry.
• If you are sealing anything with sharp edges (e.g. bones) make sure they cannot pier-
ce the bag during the vacuum process.
• Note: Cover sharp edges with a paper towel, or similar, prior to sealing.
Bag melts or cannot
be sealed
completely.
• Make sure you are using bags that are at least 100/130 µm thickness and 2 ply.
• Before sealing ensure that the edges of the bag are clean and dry.
The vacuum doesn’t
hold when using a
container.
• Ensure that your Hose is correctly inserted as shown in Figure 1 Item 5.
• Make sure your container lid is clean and dry and in the correct position.
• Make certain that your container valve is clean and dry.
FV500 sealed
several bags (up to 5
items) and it seems
it is not working
anymore.
• We strongly recommend vacuum bags of thickness at least 100/130 µm. There are
many different types of vacuum bags available on the market so put special attention
on quality. Our recommendation is to use original vacuum bags from Status, which
are 2 ply and 100/130 µ thick.
