AmeriVacs CAVS-Series 20-30 Vacuum Sealers

From $3,675.00

AmeriVacs CAVS-Series 20-30 Vacuum Sealers

AmeriVacs CAVS Series commercial external vacuum sealers provide the versatility to seal bags up to 30" wide. The design is simple and easy to use, and construction and materials are of the highest quality for trouble-free operation and a long service life even in steady commercial use. AmeriVacs CAVS sealers are available with standard powder coated steel cabinet or stainless steel cabinet. 

Self-contained design: CAVS sealers include built-in compressors to operate the vacuum sealing pump. Thus a separate air supply is NOT required with these models. Electrical components operate on 120VAC (optional conversion to 220V, 50/60Hz is available, please call for details.) 

Product applications: AmeriVacs external sealers are ideal for sealing all dry and particle-free products. They are not suitable for wet materials, including most foods. Because AmeriVacs sealers do not use a sealing chamber, bags of any length can be used, so these machines are ideal for sealing a range of product including very large items.

AmeriVacs external vacuum sealers have automatically-retracting air extraction nozzles which allows them to use economical smooth-sided plastic bags, rather than the more expensive embossed bags required by machines designed for low-volume operation. This saves you a lot of money over the long term.

Built in the USA, AmeriVacs products have a two year manufacturer’s warranty. These vacuum sealing systems are in use across the U.S. and internationally, for use with food, machine parts, electronics, data storage, film preservation, medical instruments, and aerospace components.

Additional options are available for AmeriVacs external vacuum sealers, including: Dual seal bar heating for military grade bags, dual extraction nozzles, additional vac cycle, low-pressure bar closure, digital temperature control with SCADA data recording software, ported exhaust for clean-room compatibility, and alternate 220V 50/60 Hz power option. For more information about any of these options, please contact one of our vacuum sealer specialists; contact information is at the bottom of this page.

In addition to common vacuum seal bag types, we can provide special purpose bags including mylar aluminum foil bags, military mil-spec vacuum pouches, Tyvek, nylon, Teflon, Kapton polyimide, and more. Please contact us with your requirements.

The CAVS does not have the inert gas-flush option, but that option is available in the CAVN-series sealers.

Mylar Bags, 4 Mil

Mylar bags are a special type of metalized vacuum-sealable bag. Just like standard vacuum bags, they have an inner layer of FDA approved food safe polyethelene. The poly layer has a relatively low melting point, so it can be heat-sealed to close the bag air tight. Fused to the outside of the poly layer is a layer of nylon that acts as a strong barrier to oxygen soak-through (a far better barrier than poly). Nylon cannot be heat-sealed, but the duo of poly and nylon is heat-sealable and highly impermeable to oxygen. What distinguishes Mylar bags is a third layer of thin, flexible metal fused to the outside of the nylon layer. This thin metal layer provides the ultimate oxygen barrier. And outside the metal layer is another polymer layer for abrasion resistance. Mylar bags are the best choice for multi-year oxygen-free storage of food (or other goods). They also provide the maximum barrier against moisture and any vapors that may be in the storage environment, including possible fuel vapors. Mylar bags are normally used as liners inside a rugged container (typically a quality plastic bucket ) that will protect your goods and the Mylar bag from physical damage (including damage from vermin).

These durable 4 mil thickness Mylar bags are pre-sealed on three sides to form the bag. The 20 x 30 inch bags are sized for use inside either a 5 or 6 gallon bucket, leaving enough bag sticking out the top, to be heat sealed. The 8 x 12 inch bags have a 1-quart capacity.

Two steps must be taken to protect your food with Mylar bags. One is that you must seal the bag, and the other is that you must get the oxygen out. Sealing the bag can be done with a commercial impulse sealer. That's a machine that fuses the bag mouth shut. A straight impulse sealer does NOT vacuum air out of the bag, it just seals it shut. Commercial impulse sealers are available with wide enough seal bars to span the full 20" width of the large Mylar bags. It's an excellent way to greatly extend the fresh taste and nutrient quality of foods on the counter, or in the fridge or freezer, by eliminating the rapid degrading effects of oxygen.

You could spend $8,000 on a huge chamber-style vacuum machine designed to vacuum-extract the contents of a large bucket, and seal the Mylar bag. A much less expensive route, and one that's equally effective, is to simply put one or more oxygen absorber packets into the bag before you seal the bag closed. For small-scale operations, oxygen absorbers are highly economical, reliable and easy to use.

Interestingly... there's a reason why these bags look like Mylar party balloons. It's because they're made of a commercial version of the same material as the balloons. Helium is an extremely tiny atom, even for a gas. In an ordinary latex balloon, a special chemical coating must be added to keep the helium corralled... without that coating, the helium atoms holler "Adios, we're outta here" and zip right out through the balloon's wall, leaving it shriveled and very un-party-like. Whether or not helium contacts your food is irrelevant, because helium is highly inert. But Mylar's ability to stop the passage of even tiny helium atoms is great testimony to its effectiveness against much larger molecules including O2 and H2O!
