"We got this nice Vacuum Packaging Machine on October 16th 2018 and we use it a lot. Today 12/7/2018 it still works great. The seal gets bad if there is a kink on the plastic and when I get a bad seal I just simply reseal the ends and it works out great. You just have to make sure..."

12" Secure Seal

Unlike most 10" economic models, the Galaxy VME1 features a large, versatile 12" seal bar. The machine relies on electronic controls to monitor the timer and to ensure a secure seal with each use. Whether sealing protein, grains, or delicate vegetables, the unit will ensure product is sealed safely and securely to allow for storage or sous-vide applications.

Easy to Use

Designed to operate with embossed vacuum bags (sold separately), the machine efficiently seals product with its one-touch controls. Easy-to-use, digital controls allow you to choose your settings for a faster, smoother operation.

Precise Operation

It has seal and vacuum & seal options so you can simply seal a bag or remove the air from the bag and then seal. Plus, the extended seal time feature makes it ideal for providing a firm, air-tight seal on thick, heavy-duty bags. For your convenience, controls are also built-in to add extra seal time, pulse the vacuum process, or cancel the task entirely.

Customer Q&AAsk a Question

Can this machine be used for retort or mylar packaging?

These vacuum packaging machines are not recommended for use with retort or mylar packaging; instead, we suggest choosing from our wide selection of vacuum packaging bags for best results! Retort and mylar packaging requires special plastic and foil laminated pouches to seal food safely.

How do high altitudes affect the vacuum sealing process?

A vacuum sealer’s performance varies with respect to location. At higher altitudes, where air pressure is less dense, vacuum sealers are unable to remove as much air from the sealing process. High-pressure conditions are an important factor in the proper functioning of the sealer’s compressor, and without enough pressure, you may notice a weaker vacuum.

How do I determine if a vacuum machine bag will work on my machine?

If you have a chamber-type machine: Buy a chamber-type bag (mesh-less design). The open end of the vacuum bag must be the same size or shorter than the seal bar on your machine, and the bag must also fit inside your machine’s chamber.

If you have an external-type machine: You must buy an external-type, or "out of chamber" bag (mesh design). The open end of the vacuum bag must be the same size or shorter than the seal bar on your machine.

All of our vacuum machine bags list how large the open end is, and whether you can use them with external or chamber machines, in the content.
