Oxygen Absorbers 500CC (50 ea.)

$14.50

Oxygen Absorbers 500CC (50 ea.)

Our premium oxygen absorbers remove the oxygen from airtight sealed food storage containers. Removing oxygen stops oxidation, to dramatically extend food shelf life. Eliminating oxygen also prevents all activity by insects even if any are present in the container at the time it is sealed. The absorbers are non-toxic and food safe (the principal ingredients are powdered iron and salt.) Two 500cc packets are sufficient to remove the oxygen from a six gallon bucket completely filled with wheat (or similar grain). Absorbers can be used in containers with any kind of food. If you fill a bucket with a foodstuff that has less density than wheat, then there will be more air in the bucket, so more absorber packets should be used accordingly. (Also note that altitude has a great affect on air density and therefore on the amount of oxygen in a given volume of space. This means if you live on top of a mountain in Colorado, you can get by with somewhat fewer absorbers than average, and if you live at a very low altitude... don't skimp.) Packets are sold vacuum-sealed, in quantity of 50 packets per bag.

Absorption rating

Each absorber is rated at 500cc, which means that each will absorb at least 500 cubic centimeters of oxygen from your storage container, when used as directed. Absorbers are single-use, meaning that once they have absorbed oxygen from a storage container as they're designed to do, they can't be reused.

Use guidelines

Oxygen absorbers are shipped in an airtight sealed bag. When you open that outer bag, the absorbers soon begin absorbing oxygen from the atmosphere. The absorbers contain enough active ingredient so that you can leave them in the open atmosphere for 30-45 minutes before you seal them into your food containers. Because of this natural working-time limitation, it's important to have your storage containers filled and ready to put the lids onto, before you open the package of 50 absorbers. If you need to use fewer than 50 absorbers and want to save the rest for use later, you can effectively re-seal the extra absorbers in an airtight bag using a home or commercial Vacuum sealing machine. Inside your storage container, oxygen absorbers can be placed under or within food, but we recommend putting them on top so you don't lose track of which containers you've put absorbers into.

Container & lid suitability

If using oxygen absorbers in plastic buckets, you need to use standard hammer-on lids (not Gamma Lids.) Gamma Lids are airtight, but are not designed to counteract the force of pressure that's created when all of the oxygen in the container is removed by oxygen absorbers. Once the standard lid is initially removed to start using the contents, a Gamma Lid can be used to re-seal the bucket against moisture, rodents and insects. A quality bucket and hammer-on gasketed lid will provide a fully adequate oxygen barrier for at least a couple years of storage. For even longer term oxygen-free storage, inside your buckets you can also use Mylar liner bags which, when heat-sealed shut around your food, will effectively block oxygen permeation for years and years.

Shelf life

Absorbers in their original sealed bag have a shelf life of 1 year.

I have never before received such prompt service when ordering any item from a company. I placed my order late in the afternoon and had exactly what I ordered in my mailbox less than 48 hours later. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Sue Belair, WI

I appreciate Pleasant Hill Grain and have been a customer for about ten years. I like that I'm able to get parts for my old equipment, which I want to keep forever. And the shipping was quick and easy. As for the product, it was just what I needed.

O2 Absorbers

By Steven M. in CO on 7/15/2019 Verified Buyer

Thanks to all the other reviewers who posted prior to me ----- especially about re-sealing the absorbers before they suck all the moisture out of Colorado. I think these things are going to work out great --- divided up a SuperPail of Hard White Wheat into smaller mylar bags ---- will now be able to use a pound or two of wheat at a time and keep the rest fresh --put a couple of the O2 Absorbers in each small mylar bag and re-sealed the bag with a hot iron --- should work well. Thanks again for all of the help and guidance from Pleasant Hill --- Great company --- like family but without all the yelling.

If in an high humidity are, vacum seal when doen

By Amanda4a on 1/06/2019 Verified Buyer

I live in South Carolina, with high humidity. I opened a new bag and used eight absorbers in my flour storage containers. a little over an hour later I walked by the table and felt heat and saw water trickling out from the bag. All of the remaining absorbers had sucked up all the moisture they could.

So, when using vacuum seal closed when done.
I use then all the time in my flour, grains and sugars. With very good results. If the container is opened often, I replace them about every other month. Long term storage once a year.

O2 getters

By Dick S. in CO on 8/06/2017 Verified Buyer

They work as advertised, just remember to re-vaccuum pack what you don't use each time.

Great price. Fast delivery.

By Constance H. in CT on 6/17/2020 Verified Buyer

Excellent product and service. As these are large packages, remember to quickly place unused packs in tightly shut mason jars to keep them viable for later use.

They work great

By Anthony G. in GA on 4/02/2020 Verified Buyer

Use them to seal mason jars to protect food for month/ years.

Great price on a good product.

By Suzanne P. in TX on 3/25/2017 Verified Buyer

Less expensive than at the LDS Home Storage Canneries. Great product.

Fresh Oxygen Absorbers

By George H. in FL on 12/13/2016 Verified Buyer

Ordered and received oxygen absorbers that I know are fresh as the material was soft and the packaging was intact.

Always fast and great service

By Donna H. in OK on 8/29/2019 Verified Buyer

I've not used them yet, but they arrived quickly and in perfect condition. This company has great products and wonderful customer service.

Never disappointed with PHG

By Laura R. in PA on 9/18/2018 Verified Buyer

I have bought from Pleasant Hill Grain many times before and am Never disappointed. The buckets are tall and of excellant quality. The gamma lids make opening the buckets easy and convenient. I have bought elsewhere for other buckets and have come back to Pleasnt Hill for I love their buckets best for storage. The oxygen absorbers help in keeping food products from spoilage or becoming stale. I have also bought storable foods from them. Love them. Will always return to Pleasnat Hill.

Best Price Excellent Service

By Edward B. in CA on 6/29/2020 Verified Buyer

It was my good fortune that I found this seller who provided a better product at a better price. I will continue to use them for my storage needs.
