Vacuum Sealers..

[Cocko]

Hey Peeps,

I have searched and searched but am a little lost here...

Can you please tell me if I buy a vacuum sealer, will my hops be fresher? Thus my beers better?

Which one should I buy?

Thanks in advance.

it a semi commercial unit, does both types of bag.
ive killed one and am on the second one but then again i do a lot of sealing.

I've got one of those in the second link - and it does a **** house job with channel bags. Works perfectly with the flat ones though.

We've only got 3 vac sealer threads in the top 10 at the moment, we may need more :unsure:

Well just bought the same fella, minus the Stainless body touch, stuck with my favourite shade, back...

No more meat blood running around the bottom of the Engel whenever we go camping, and also be good for beer related activities

Does anyone know if there is any difference between the below vac sealer and the Luvelo unit?
they look to be exactly the same...

Can anyone tell me how you tell the channel bags from the others? I presume there is a channel of sorts but gave no idea really...... I have a maxkon and no idea what type of bags it takes?

Can anyone tell me which way the plug goes in the wall.

It looks like it could go any of three ways.

smart arse!! had it coming......

Just check the bags on the inner surface if they are 100% smooth they are not channel bags.

I've got a Maxton and the Ebay ones were 50/50. Got these from the 'the packaging centre' and they do much better. $10 includes shipping I think...

 

[DU99]

i get mine from here also.there not open at the moment.

Thanks Kev, looks like they are channeled, for some reason i had this image of a channel running down each side of the bag.

channel bags are a little like "ribbed" bags, using "dingers" as an analogy.
