What is the Difference between Chamber and Non Chamber Vacuum Sealers?

The main difference between chambered and non-chambered vacuum sealers is how they operate and the types of items they can effectively vacuum seal.

1. Chamber vacuum sealer

Operation method:

Chamber vacuum sealers have a chamber or compartment in which the product to be sealed and the entire package are placed. Air is removed from the chamber, including the entire package, not just the product itself.
Once the desired vacuum level is achieved, the sealing process begins.

Use:

(1) Can handle liquid, powder and solid
Chamber vacuum sealers are versatile and suitable for many applications.
The chamber vacuum seal can handle liquids, powders and solids without any risk of aspiration of the contents. This makes chamber vacuum sealers ideal for sealing liquid-rich foods, soups, sauces, preserved foods, and delicate or fragile foods that may be crushed under external pressure.

(2) Application
Due to their larger size and higher capacity, chamber vacuum seals are often used in commercial or professional environments.

2. Non-chamber vacuum sealers

Operation method:

Non-chamber vacuum sealers have a nozzle or opening through which air is drawn directly from the bag or package. Non-chamber vacuum sealers only remove the air from the bag, leaving the product inside.

Use:

1. Not suitable for handling liquids
Not suitable for handling liquids or items with a high liquid content as liquid may be sucked into the machine or interfere with the sealing process.
2. Application
Chamberless vacuum sealers are commonly used in home kitchens and small food preservation.
Chamberless vacuum sealers are great for sealing solid items like meat, vegetables, fruit, and dry goods.

Summarize

While chamber vacuum sealers have more versatility and can handle a wider range of items, chamber vacuum sealers are typically larger, heavier, and more expensive than non-chamber vacuum sealers.

Choosing between the two depends on your specific needs, the type of items you plan to seal, and the size of your vacuum sealing requirements.
