Chambered Sealers

The textured bags do work, just be aware you may have leakage due to the quality of the bags. They also slip a bit on the sealing bar if you don’t have them over it far enough.

Good point, I have never seen a vac chamber up close. . . . Doesn’t the lid hold the bag on the seal bar?

JoeB They are rated at a maximum of 29.75 inches of mercury. 30" of Merc is impossible in our atmosphere and considered a perfect vacuum. The VP220 is just like the VP215 except that it’s maintenance free (oil less)
I stand corrected , that’s the 2nd thing that stops working when you get old… You made me ck. . . . And that’s a good thing because i am always in agreement with myself
The specs on the VP230 is by manufacture 29" It’s stated that the VP220 will only do 26". ThanksJoeB said in Chambered Sealers:

JoeB It does, it has a rubber seal inside that hold it down, but the bag inflates during the sealing and will pill out from under the bar if you don’t overlap the bar far enough. Seems the external bags are slicker due to the pattern. All the Vacmaster machines do 29.75 inches, it states that other machines (meaning other brands) only do 26". By the way, I am probably as old as you are, we all have those brain farts now and then

I don’t know my friend. I’m older than dirt. Not sure I read it that way but what’s a few inches of mercury among Sausage Warriors. Prost Prost!!

johnsbrewhouse my original question was what you thought of the VP230??

JoeB It’s a nice machine too, does a bit wider bag, about 5 lbs. heavier than the VP215. Functionally it is the same as the VP215, just has more ponies driving it. You would be very happy with that as well.

badfire2625 1st, thank you, we are both better and back to work, I handled it like more of a man than Austin did. We have an interesting competition coming up here pretty soon, we need to get past a few things but he made a statement recently that was just insane about the speed of something so I have to prove it (live) and then collect some sort of reward! We started talking about it around Christmas but that was just the demo units that we were testing that we showed during one livestream. JoeB Stand strong brother!
As far as the price of the units goes, I have no clue at this point. So many things are sky rocketing in price right now. It hasnt hit us terribly yet but I am sure it is coming. If anyone doesnt know what I am talking about, put a nice laptop or tablet in your cart in amazon and go back a week later. It’ll be 5% or more. I am not a stocks guy but I bought some bitcoin a few months ago as I want to bring my wife back to the place we took our honeymoon, so I figured I’d see what a small investment would do for me. I have basically doubled my investment and now am just angry I didnt buy more. Having said that, I think it is nearing it’s high for the foreseeable future. It is hovering around 60k per bitcoin and I think it will be a while until we see Elon Musks prediction of them being a million each! Sorry…rambled there. This is the first time I have been on this weekend so I have a lot of things running through my mind!

JoeB I would, I found that if you don’t they pull loose for some reason. I believe it might have something to do with the waffle pattern. I probably should try turning the bag over to see if it make a difference. That is with the pattern towards the rubber, may hold it better than the Teflon heat tape side
-
The textured pattern is on the inside right??
-
JoeB Inside and outside of one side of the bag.

Maybe put the textured side up?

badfire2625 Unfortunately I do think that Jonathon has had blue leeched all through his brain. I am sure that it is causing some unwanted side effects, but we are still closely monitoring him and the situation to make sure it is nothing serious. Haha!

So I started with a Vacmaster 112s a few years ago. When I went to the 112s it was mind blowing compared to a foodsaver. I ran about 1250 bags through it when it broke the first time. That was right when Trump put the tariffs on China. It took 9 months for Ary to get me a used solenoid because, in the mean time they stopped producing that model. I got it back working order to have the same failure symptoms about 6months later. I got another used part in the mail from Ary but the problem never came back. I ordered a VP230 this past summer, I had to order/pay for it before it was even manufactured because they were constantly back ordered. As soon as I received the new sealer I sold my old one for money than I paid for it due to large price increases prior to stopping production.
My 112s would make the body of the sealer so hot you didnt wanna touch it after 25 bags with no rest. Ary assured me several times this was normal and would not affect the longevity of the machine.My opinion is: a double seal bar or double heating elements is a must. And an oil pump is 1/2 as loud, and 3x as fast as a dry pump.

deanlorensen Does the VP230 have a double seal bar & element, I know it has a 1/2hp oil pump… Thanks
