A vacuum packaging machine removes air from the bag and seals it airtight, so meat, fish, cheese, sauces and prepped ingredients last longer in the fridge or freezer. Babak Food Equipment offers Berkel vacuum packaging machines for restaurants, butchers, delis, caterers and meal-prep kitchens across Vancouver and British Columbia. They are also essential for sous vide cooking and for portioning food ahead of service.
What to look for in a vacuum packaging machine

Chamber or external: chamber vacuum sealers handle liquids and marinades and give consistent seals; external sealers are smaller and suit dry foods.
Seal bar and chamber size: check that the seal bar and chamber fit the largest bag you use.
Pump: a larger pump means faster cycles for kitchens that package all day.
Controls: adjustable vacuum and seal times help with delicate foods.
Maintenance: ask how often the pump oil needs changing and keep the chamber easy to clean.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a chamber and an external vacuum sealer?
A chamber machine pulls the vacuum on the whole bag inside a closed chamber, so it can seal liquids. An external sealer draws air out at the bag’s edge and works best with dry foods.
How long does vacuum-packed food last?
Vacuum packaging slows spoilage and freezer burn, which can extend refrigerated shelf life significantly. It does not replace proper refrigeration and food-safety rules.
