Select the menu item “Jar Packaging” if you wish to vacuum seal solid products such as grated cheese, olives, and grapes in jars. It is important to use suitable jars such as Weck jars and twist-off jars. Place the filled jars into the vacuum sealer so that the container does not touch the acrylic lid of your chamber machine, and start the vacuum sealing process.
Liquid products such as soups, sauces, and pasta can also be vacuum sealed in jars. However, for this, you will need the “Liquid Packaging” menu. Liquid products may only be packaged when cooled. Here too, use suitable jars that do not touch the lid of your VAMA device. Special feature: Thanks to our intelligent control system, the vacuum sealing process is stopped in time before the liquid overflows from the jar.
No general statement can be made about the shelf life of products packaged in this way. This depends on the type of product and the level of vacuum. Please note, however, that jar packaging is not comparable to semi-preserved, fully preserved, canned jam, or similar products in terms of shelf life.
