Why can’t the vacuum effect be maintained after using the vacuum sealer? The following are possible reasons. Users can check by themselves first.   1. The wrong material of packing bags: the material of plastic bags is PE, PP which can’t maintain the vacuum effect. The air will enter into the bags after the vacuum sealer finishing working. It is recommended to choose Nylon bags, Aluminum foil bags which can maintain the vacuum effect for a long time.   2. The sealing line is not sealed well: please check whether the sealing line is complete or not. If the sealing line is not closed, the air will run into the bags. (1) If the bag is too thick, and the vacuum sealer wasn't set for enough sealing time, the heat wasn't enough to seal the bag. If the vacuum sealer can adjust the sealing time, users can add more seconds to test whether the sealing is firm. If the vacuum sealer can't adjust the sealing time, users may need to replace the thinner bag or buy another vacuum sealer with setting sealing time function.     (2) There have also been cases where the bottom seal of the original bag was not sealed properly. In this case, seal the bottom sealing line again before vacuuming.   3.     Vacuum bag styles are not suitable for vacuum sealers: non-nozzle vacuum sealers can't be used for vacuum flat bags. Therefore, if you buy a non-nozzle vacuum sealer, you must pay attention to the style of the bag you use. This vacuum sealer is a must-to-use vacuum embossed bag or Nylon gusset vacuum bag. It is recommended that when purchasing a vacuum sealing machine or vacuum bag, it is more appropriate to confirm with the supplier first.     4.     The vacuum bag is broken: (1) If the package article has acute angles, be careful not to cut the vacuum bag when putting it into the vacuum bag. (2) Vacuum sealer in the process of pumping, when the bag is shrunk to the package, it may be punctured by the packaging.

Q&A How to make the sealing line of the impulse sealer even and beautiful?   Q: Users often want to know why the sealing line is crooked and thin, rather than the flat and complete 2mm or 5mm wide sealing line tested by the manufacturer. A: The key point is cooling time. For impulse sealers, whether hand type or foot-operated type, both the sealing and cooling time are manually controlled. In order to shorten the package time, many users will ignore the cooling time directly. As soon as the heating time is up and the heating light goes off, they release the handle or foot pedal. This will result in uneven sealing lines.   Q: How long does the cooling time need to be? A: It is recommended to refer to the sealing time. If the heating time is longer, the cooling time should be increased accordingly, but not necessarily in a proportional manner. It still needs to be tested. Based on the experience, if using regular bags and the sealing time is not set for a long time, it is recommended that customers press for an additional 1 second after the heating light goes off (the editor usually counts to 3 in their mind) before releasing the handle or foot pedal.   Q: If I don't care about the appearance of the sealing line, can I ignore the cooling time? A: It is still recommended to have some cooling time. A complete sealing line is not only visually appealing to customers, but the most important, it ensures the bag is securely sealed. The impulse sealer uses heat to stick the bag mouth and seal it tightly, and then cools the sealing line by pressing the bag. This is how the sealing line can be both firm and smooth. Without cooling time to cool the sealing line, the sealing line of the bag mouth may be thin and easily melt and break, which could lead to bag rupture and increase the workload instead.

Types of Vacuum Sealers   When choosing a vacuum sealer, it's important to understand the different types and features available. Vacuum sealers play a crucial role in food preservation, medical supplies packaging, and electronic products protection, among other areas.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) about vacuum packaging Vacuum packaging is currently a trend, and recently, many users have purchased vacuum sealers or vacuum bags, generating a lot of questions. Here are answers to the most commonly asked questions: 1.     Which vacuum sealer is suitable for me? A: There are many vacuum sealers on the market, and it is not easy to choose a suitable vacuum sealer. I have previously written about "How to Choose a Vacuum Sealer". Those with questions can refer to it for getting more information. "How to choose a vacuum sealing machine", please check the following website address. *Nozzle type vacuum sealer: https://www.dailysealing.com/news_detail.aspx?seq=1116 *Non-nozzle type vacuum sealer: https://www.dailysealing.com/news_detail.aspx?seq=1115 *Chamber vacuum sealer: https://www.dailysealing.com/news_detail.aspx?seq=1114   2.     Why can't I use PE bags for vacuum packaging? A: Due to the density of the bag material. Even after air is removed and sealed, air can still seep back into the bag. Therefore, after packaging, if left alone for a period of time, the vacuum effect will be lost.   3.     What type of bag material is suitable for vacuum packaging? A: The most common vacuum bag materials are nylon (NY) bags and aluminum foil bags. Both of these materials can prevent air from seeping back into the bag and maintain a vacuum state inside the bag.   4.     Why can't I maintain a vacuum effect even after using vacuum bags? A: If you have confirmed that you are using vacuum bags, you can first check if the seal is defective. Some vacuum bags are too thick and require a longer sealing time, such as foldable bags (tea bags), which have four layers. If the seal is confirmed to be perfect, check if there are any holes in the vacuum bag. When vacuuming, the bag will adhere closely to the contents. If the contents have sharp edges, it is possible to puncture the bag and lose the vacuum effect.   5.     Many users who have bought vacuum sealers or vacuum bags are confused when they find that they can't remove the air from flat vacuum bags. What should they do? A: This is because they have purchased a vacuum sealer without a nozzle. The non-nozzle type vacuum sealers have to use the special vacuum bags (channel bags, embossed bags and gusset bags) to remove air, so if users use flat vacuum bags, they will find the vacuum sealer and vacuum bag can't work.     6.     If someone accidentally purchases a non-nozzle vacuum sealer (such as FOODSAVER), what types of vacuum bags can they use? A: The following types of vacuum bags can be used: (1)    Vacuum sealer embossed bags (vacuum channel sealer bags): vacuum bags with straight stripes. (2)    Fold-over bags: such as tea bags with two sides folded in to become a four-layer bag. (3)    Back-sealed bags: vacuum bags with one side flat and the other side with an additional spine. Remember to choose aluminum foil bags and nylon bags as the material for vacuum bags.   7.     What is the difference between a vacuum flat bag and a vacuum striped channel sealer bag? A: A vacuum flat bag is like a regular plastic bag with both sides being flat are smooth, but the material of a vacuum flat bag is made of nylon (NY) or aluminum foil. A vacuum channel sealer bag has one flat smooth side and the other side has straight stripes.   8.     Why can a vacuum channel sealer bag be used with a Non-nozzle vacuum sealer? A: The key is in the straight stripes of the vacuum channel bag. The structure of a Non-nozzle vacuum sealer requires a straight stripe to create a channel for the air inside the bag to be removed. If the stripes are too shallow, it may still be unable to vacuum out the air.

In recent years, vacuum packaging has become very popular. Vacuum packaging keeps damp proof, extended shelf life, and reduced storage space. There are various types of vacuum sealing machines available on the market. How to find a suitable vacuum sealer for your product? The following are specially divided into three categories for the vacuum sealers sold on the market (Chamber Vacuum Sealer, Non-nozzle Vacuum Sealer, and Nozzle Vacuum Sealer) to introduce advantages and disadvantages. There are other places to pay attention to when buying, hope to help everyone buy a suitable vacuum sealer, and enhance the quality of product.   ※Chamber Vacuum Sealer This is the most familiar and most commonly seen vacuum sealer. As the name suggests, it looks like a box. Therefore, large size and heavy weight are the biggest drawbacks of this vacuum sealer, but the vacuum degree is the best compared to the other two types of vacuum sealers. We also call this vacuum sealer an internal vacuum sealer. Because the items which you want to vacuum have to be put into the vacuum chamber in the vacuum sealer, and can be vacuum packaged. Since the vacuum item needs to be put into the vacuum chamber, the product will be limited by the size of the vacuum chamber. If the product is larger, the vacuum chamber must be larger. As the size of the vacuum sealer increases, its price also tends to increase. Therefore, when purchasing, it needs to consider whether the internal size of the vacuum chamber is suitable for your needs. The chamber vacuum sealer is further divided into oil-less and oil-type vacuum sealer due to the different types of vacuum pumps installed inside the machine. The vacuum capability of oil-less type vacuum sealers is slightly lower than that of oil-type vacuum sealers. Oil-less type vacuum sealer is suitable for dry products, such as tea, dried fruit, rice, and electronic parts. The price of this vacuum sealer is lower than that of the oil-type vacuum sealer, but the vacuum capability is sufficient for dry vacuum packaging. Oil-type vacuum sealer is suitable for both dry and moist products. If there is liquid in the product, it's recommended to choose an oil-type vacuum sealer. Suitable for packing products: meat, seafood, liquid, and powder. The Oil-type vacuum pumps installed in the Oil-type vacuum sealers on the market have different vacuum capabilities. If you need vacuum packaging for seafood or meat products, it's recommended to choose an Oil-type vacuum sealer with better vacuum capability. If the product itself is soft, even after being vacuumed, it will still be soft to the touch, and will not be as hard as dry products after being vacuumed. The price of Oil-type vacuum sealers is higher than that of oil-less-type vacuum sealers, and the higher the required vacuum capability, the higher the price. Also, it should be noted, Oil-type vacuum pump needs to add vacuum oil, so when using an Oil-type vacuum sealer, it's a must to regularly check the amount of vacuum oil and the clarity of the vacuum oil. If the oil level is below the standard, vacuum oil needs to be added; if the vacuum oil is cloudy, the old oil must be drained before adding new vacuum oil. The more often the vacuum sealer is used; the frequency of adding and draining oil is also higher. When the vacuum degree drops, you can first check whether it is due to the vacuum oil. Some oil-type vacuum sealers will also be equipped with oil mist catchers, to capture the oil mist generated during the operation of the oil-type vacuum pump. Smoke generation was found during the operation of the vacuum sealer, oil mist is likely generated when the oil vacuum pump is running, which is a normal phenomenon. The installation of an oil mist catcher is to reduce the situation of oil mist drifting. The oil mist catcher is a consumable, and the frequency of use will affect its life.   When purchasing a vacuum sealer, factors to consider include price, the suitable types of vacuum bags, vacuum efficiency, the size and type of products to be sealed, and the operating method. No matter what kind of product you want to vacuum, it's recommended to bring the product to the site for testing before purchasing, test the vacuum effect and understand how to operate it, this will allow you to choose the most suitable vacuum sealer for your needs.

In recent years, vacuum packaging has become very popular. Vacuum packaging keeps damp proof, extended shelf life, and reduced storage space. There are various types of vacuum sealing machines available on the market. How to find a suitable vacuum sealer for your product? The following are specially divided into three categories for the vacuum sealers sold on the market (Chamber Vacuum Sealer, Non-nozzle Vacuum Sealer, and Nozzle Vacuum Sealer) to introduce advantages and disadvantages. There are other places to pay attention to when buying, hope to help everyone buy a suitable vacuum sealer, and enhance the quality of product.   ※Non-nozzle Vacuum Sealer         A non-nozzle vacuum sealer is a new type of vacuum sealer that has appeared in recent years, in terms of price, it's cheaper than the Chamber vacuum sealer, although the vacuum degree is lower than that of the Chamber vacuum sealer, for many products it is sufficient. This Non-nozzle vacuum sealer is equipped with an oil-less pump, so if the product itself has a lot of water (such as soup) or powder, a Non-nozzle vacuum sealer is not recommended, because moisture or powder will be drawn into the machine with the operation of the vacuum pump, easily cause damage to internal parts.         Non-nozzle vacuum sealer belongs to the external vacuum sealer, different from an internal vacuum sealers, the product is vacuumed outside the machine. Therefore, the product is not limited by the size of the vacuum chamber, unlike the chamber vacuum sealer, as long as the width of vacuum bags is smaller than the size of the sealing line of the external vacuum sealer, unlimited length, but if the vacuum bag is too long, it is recommended to find an external vacuum sealer with strong vacuum capability.         This type of vacuum sealer on the market has a plastic casing and a stainless steel casing. Non-nozzle vacuum sealer with plastic housing is small in size, and cheap in price, but if it's vacuum packaged for a long time, high frequency of operation, it's not recommended by a Non-nozzle vacuum sealer with a plastic case, because the vacuum sealer will generate heat when sealing, use for a long time, the sealing seat with continue to heat, when the temperature is too high, the plastic case may be deformed. If just for household or small amounts of use, a Non-nozzle vacuum sealer can be purchased in a plastic case.   It's a factory or a long-term operator, it's recommended to purchase a Non-nozzle vacuum sealer with a stainless steel housing, in addition to not worrying about the deformation of the sealing seat due to high temperature, the vacuum pump installed inside is larger than the Non-nozzle vacuum sealer with plastic casing, continuous use is not afraid of failure, and the vacuuming ability is also strong. Compared with the Chamber vacuum sealer, Non-nozzle vacuum sealer is much smaller and easy to carry. Please pay attention to the vacuum bag. Non-nozzle vacuum sealers can't use vacuum flat bags, due to the machine structure, Non-nozzle vacuum sealers are available for vacuum embossed bags (vacuum stripe bags), nylon gusset vacuum bags, aluminum foil gusset bags, and back seal bags. The price of vacuum embossed bags and gusset bags are slightly higher than that of vacuum flat bags, so please pay the attention. If the product packaging itself is to use the gusset bag, such as tea leaves, rice, etc. A Non-nozzle vacuum sealer is highly recommended as the results are satisfactory. If you don't care about the price of vacuum bags and hope the price of the vacuum sealer is lower, a Non-nozzle vacuum sealer will be a good choice. When purchasing a vacuum sealer, factors to consider include price, the suitable types of vacuum bags, vacuum efficiency, the size and type of products to be sealed, and the operating method. No matter what kind of product you want to vacuum, it's recommended to bring the product to the site for testing before purchasing, test the vacuum effect and understand how to operate it, this will allow you to choose the most suitable vacuum sealer for your needs.

In recent years, vacuum packaging has become very popular, vacuum packaging keeps damp proof, extended shelf life, and reduced storage space. There are various types of vacuum sealing machines available on the market. How to find a suitable vacuum sealer for your product. The following are specially divided into three categories for the vacuum sealers sold on the market (Chamber Vacuum Sealer, Non-nozzle Vacuum Sealer, and Nozzle Vacuum Sealer) introduce advantages and disadvantages. There are other places to pay attention to when buying, hope to help everyone buy a suitable vacuum sealer, and enhance the quality of our product.   ※  Nozzle vacuum sealer         At present, the nozzle vacuum sealer is widely used in the electronics industry. The Nozzle vacuum sealer and Non-nozzle vacuum sealer are also external, The difference is that the nozzle vacuum sealer uses the nozzle to extend into the vacuum bag to extract the air. Available for vacuum flat bags and aluminum flat bags. Non-nozzle vacuum sealer without a nozzle. Therefore, only the strips of the vacuum stripe bag can be used to create a pipeline to allow the air to be drawn out. The reason why the nozzle vacuum sealer has a nozzle, after the vacuum, the nozzle must be retracted into the machine and can be sealed, so when the nozzle moves, a little air enters. Therefore, the vacuum degree of the nozzle vacuum sealer is lower than that of the other two vacuum sealers.         The nozzle vacuum sealer is divided into the pneumatic type and electromagnet due to the driving mode. The advantage of the pneumatic nozzle vacuum sealer is the low sound, the disadvantage is that you need to connect the air compressor. The electromagnetic nozzle vacuum sealer doesn't need to be connected to an air compressor, but the sound is loud during operation.         Most Nozzle vacuum sealers are designed for products with little moisture or powder, add a water filter, keep water and powder in the water filter, Don't allow moisture and powder to flow into the machine, and Avoid damage to parts. If the product itself is water or powder, never choose a Nozzle vacuum sealer, because when pumping, the nozzle extends into the vacuum bag, it will directly remove the water and powder, It's recommended to choose the Chamber vacuum sealer, when the Nozzle vacuum sealer in operating, the way the nozzle is placed and the position of the product are very important, related to the vacuum effect. When the vacuum is recommended, keep the nozzle as close as possible to the product, and avoid sticking vacuum flat bags when pumping, this causes the nozzle to be unable to pump air, but be careful that the nozzle is not blocked the product, it can't be pumping. When operating the Nozzle vacuum sealers, please pay special attention to this technique.         Same to a Non-nozzle vacuum sealer, there are plastic casings for sale in the market. Nozzle vacuum sealer with metal shell (steel plate with powder coating and stainless steel), small size vacuum sealer with plastic casing, cheap price, but long-term operating with high frequency, it's not recommended to buy the Nozzle vacuum sealer with a plastic casing, because the vacuum sealer will generate heat when sealing, use for a long time, the sealing seat with continuing to heat when the temperature is too high, the plastic case may be deformed. Just for household or small amounts of use, a Nozzle vacuum sealer can be purchased in a plastic case. If it's a factory or a long-term operator, it's recommended to purchase a Nozzle vacuum sealer with a stainless steel housing, in addition to not worrying about the deformation of the sealing seat due to high temperature, the vacuum pump installed inside is larger than the Nozzle vacuum sealer with plastic casing, continuous use is not afraid of failure, and the vacuuming ability is also strong.         The Nozzle vacuum sealer is available for a vacuum flat bag, cheaper than a vacuum stripe bag. However, due to the control of the nozzle entering and leaving, the structure is more complicated than the Non-nozzle vacuum sealer. Therefore, the price of the Nozzle vacuum sealer is higher than that of the Non-nozzle vacuum sealer, price comparison with the Chamber vacuum sealer depends on the vacuum pump built into the Chamber vacuum sealer, Nozzle vacuum sealers are more expensive than Oil-less type Chamber vacuum sealer, but is lower than the oil type Chamber vacuum sealer.         Generally, there is only one nozzle of the Nozzle vacuum sealer, it can add nozzles and inflatable functions according to customer needs, most of them are filled with nitrogen, option to pump first and then inflate, or function settings such as inflate and then pump after pumping. In addition, there are also inflatable sealing machines that only inflate, it also uses a nozzle to fill the gas into the vacuum bag. The inflatable has moisture-proof, the advantages of retaining freshness and anti-collision, mostly used in the food industry.         The Band sealer also develops the air extraction function, it also uses the nozzle to suck out the air, which belongs to a Nozzle vacuum sealer, generally known as a Continuous vacuum sealer. The price is much higher than other types of vacuum sealers, and the structure of the Band sealer will also affect the vacuum degree, so the price is also different, to choose a Continuous vacuum sealer, except for the price, the vacuum degree is also a factor to consider.   When purchasing a vacuum sealer, factors to consider include price, the types of vacuum bags it can use, vacuum efficiency, the size and type of products to be sealed, and the operating method. No matter what kind of product you want to vacuum, it's recommended to bring the product to the site for testing before purchasing, test the vacuum effect and understand how to operate it, this will allow you to choose the most suitable vacuum sealer for your needs.  

A vacuum sealer is a device widely used in food preservation, electronic product packaging, and other scenarios requiring the removal of air from the packaging. It effectively extends the shelf life of food, reduces microbial growth in the air, and maintains product freshness. Below, we'll explain step-by-step how to use a vacuum sealer, helping you master this skill with ease.   How to Use a Vacuum Sealer 1: Preparation First, ensure your vacuum sealer is properly installed and connected to a power source. Choose a vacuum sealing bag that fits the item you need to package. Different items may require bags of different sizes or materials. How to Use a Vacuum Sealer 2: Place the Item Place the item you want to seal evenly inside the vacuum bag. Make sure not to exceed the bag's maximum capacity and leave enough space at the opening of the bag so the vacuum sealer machine can seal it effectively.   How to Use a Vacuum Sealer 3: Vacuum and Seal Open the lid of the vacuum sealer and place the opening part of the vacuum bag smoothly on the machine's sealing area. Depending on the model, you may need to manually or automatically close the lid.
