VM500TEA+VM500TEB

VM500TEA & VM500TEB Large Double Chamber Vacuum Packaging Machine

Product Description

The SunAura VM500TEA and VM500TEB are large-capacity double chamber vacuum packaging machines designed for high-volume industrial food processing operations. These machines feature extra-large vacuum chambers with 500mm sealing bars, accommodating bigger bags and bulk product packaging. The double chamber design enables continuous operation – while one chamber completes the vacuum and sealing cycle, the operator loads products into the other chamber, maximizing throughput for demanding production environments.

The VM500TEA model features a flat chamber lid for standard large-format products, while the VM500TEB includes a domed chamber lid for taller and bulkier items. Both models are equipped with powerful vacuum pumps and imported Schneider and OMRON electrical components for reliable industrial-grade performance. The 304 stainless steel construction ensures corrosion resistance, food safety compliance, and long service life in demanding food processing facilities.

Applications of Large Double Chamber Vacuum Machine

• Industrial Meat Processing: Bulk packaging of large meat cuts, whole poultry, and bone-in products. The 500mm sealing bar accommodates large meat packaging bags used in industrial meat processing facilities.
• Seafood and Fish Processing: Vacuum packaging whole fish, large seafood portions, and bulk shellfish. The domed lid model handles taller seafood products and containers.
• Cheese Production: Packaging large cheese wheels, blocks, and bulk cheese portions. The VM500TEB domed lid model is ideal for tall cheese wheels.
• Food Service and Catering: Bulk packaging of prepared meals, soups, and catering portions for distribution to restaurants and event venues.
• Agricultural Products: Vacuum sealing bulk agricultural products including grains, seeds, and dried produce for long-term storage and distribution.
• Industrial Components: Packaging large mechanical parts, metal components, and industrial products requiring moisture and corrosion protection during storage and shipping.

VM500 vs VM400: Choosing the Right Size

The VM500 series is the larger sibling of the VM400 series, designed for operations that need to package bigger products or achieve higher throughput. The VM500 offers a 500mm sealing length (vs 400mm on VM400), larger chamber dimensions (520x520mm vs 420x420mm), and a more powerful vacuum pump (40 m3/h vs 20 m3/h). This translates to approximately 40% more packaging capacity per cycle.

Choose the VM500 when your products exceed 400mm in any dimension, when you need to package multiple items in a single large bag, or when your production volume requires faster cycle times. The VM400 is sufficient for most medium-scale operations, while the VM500 is recommended for large-scale industrial food processing facilities with high daily packaging volumes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum bag size the VM500 can accommodate?

The VM500 can accommodate vacuum bags up to 500mm in width. The chamber dimensions are 520x520mm, with a flat lid height of 150mm (VM500TEA) or domed lid height of 220mm (VM500TEB). The maximum product height is approximately 130mm for the flat lid model and 200mm for the domed lid model. For products exceeding these dimensions, we offer custom chamber configurations.

How fast is the vacuum cycle on the VM500?

The VM500 is equipped with a powerful 40 m3/h vacuum pump that can evacuate the large chamber in approximately 15-25 seconds, depending on product porosity and bag size. The sealing time is 2-4 seconds, and the chamber re-pressurization takes 3-5 seconds. The total cycle time is approximately 25-40 seconds. With the double chamber design, effective throughput can reach 150-250 packages per hour.

What electrical supply is required for the VM500?

The VM500 requires a 380V three-phase power supply, which is standard for industrial facilities. The power consumption is 2.5 KW, which includes the vacuum pump motor, heating elements, and control system. A dedicated 16A circuit breaker is recommended. The machine is not compatible with standard 220V household power due to the powerful vacuum pump. We can provide a 220V version with a smaller pump for facilities without three-phase power.

Can the VM500 be used for packaging hot products?

The VM500 can package products at temperatures up to 80 degrees Celsius. However, hot products release steam during the vacuum process, which can affect the vacuum pump. For products above 60 degrees, we recommend using a gas flush option or allowing products to cool slightly before packaging. The 304 stainless steel chamber is heat resistant and can withstand hot product contact. For very hot products, a water-cooled vacuum pump option is available.

What is the expected service life of the machine?

With proper maintenance, the VM500 is designed for 8-10 years of service life in industrial production environments. The vacuum pump typically requires rebuilding or replacement after 5,000-8,000 hours of operation. The sealing bar heating element should be replaced every 1-2 years depending on usage. All other components are designed for long-term industrial use. We provide a 12-month warranty, spare parts kits, and ongoing technical support.

Does the machine support printing on the vacuum bags?

The standard VM500 does not include a bag printing function. However, we offer an optional inkjet coding system that can print date codes, batch numbers, and product information on the vacuum bag during the sealing process. The coding system is integrated into the sealing bar area and can print on most vacuum bag materials. contact us for pricing and compatibility of the coding system option.

Can the machine be customized for special applications?

Yes, we offer custom configurations for special applications. Custom options include extended chamber depth for very tall products, additional sealing bars for multi-bag packaging, gas flushing (MAP) capability, product-specific vacuum programs, and integration with conveyor systems. We also manufacture explosion-proof models for hazardous environments. Contact our technical team with your specific requirements for a custom solution.
