LEM Products MaxVac 500 Vacuum Sealer

Yes, the MaxVac 500 features specific settings for moist foods to help manage liquid intake during the sealing process. However, for best results with very wet items, we recommend freezing them slightly first or using the pulse function to manually control the vacuum.

The pulse function gives you manual control over the vacuum pressure. This is essential for delicate items like berries, baked goods, or soft cheeses that might get crushed by the full force of the automatic setting.

The MaxVac 500 is compatible with standard vacuum sealer rolls and pre-cut bags. Because it features a generous 15-inch seal bar, you have the flexibility to use wider bags than many standard home units allow.

The marinate function uses a specialized vacuum cycle to open the pores of your food, allowing marinades to penetrate deeply in minutes rather than hours. You will need to use a compatible vacuum canister with this feature, as it is designed for use with containers rather than bags.

Absolutely. With its commercial-grade construction, double-piston pump, and fan-cooled motor, this unit is built to handle repetitive sealing tasks without overheating, making it a great choice for processing large harvests or bulk meat purchases.

The built-in cutter is designed to work seamlessly with vacuum sealer rolls, allowing you to create custom-sized bags quickly. It is not intended for cutting other materials, so keep it reserved for your vacuum bags to maintain the blade's sharpness.
