The VacMaster VP540 is a professional-grade, large-chamber vacuum sealer designed for high-volume use in commercial kitchens, butcher shops, or by serious home enthusiasts.  Unlike standard “suction” sealers that pull air out of a bag from the outside, a chamber sealer like the VP540 places the entire bag inside the machine. When the cycle begins, air is evacuated from the entire chamber, keeping the pressure equal inside and outside the bag. This allows you to seal liquids (like soups, stews, and marinades) without them being sucked out of the bag. 

The Vac Master 540 will allow the Little Rock Stewpot to package and repackage food items we get from donations. It will prevent freezer burn, allow us to package liquids efficiently, package precut vegetables for larger meals, and batch out soups to freeze in 1-gallon portions. It not only allows us to preserve incoming food appropriately but makes use of cold storage more efficient. We can also seal dry goods for storage to prevent bugs and preserve freshness.
