Details

Preserve the freshness of your most popular foods and increase their shelf life with this Galaxy GVME12SS vacuum packaging machine with 12" seal bar, roll cutter and dual pump! Utilize this unit to create an airtight seal around meats, cheeses, and vegetables, extending their freshness and taste longer than other preservation methods, saving you money. The Galaxy vacuum packaging machine features a 12" seal bar with a powerful dual piston pump, which quickly creates tight seals within seconds, making this efficient machine a time saver for your establishment.

A built-in cooling fan regulates internal temperatures to prevent overheating, thus allowing for extended usage periods. Use the intuitive control panel to adjust the machine's pressure levels between three settings (low, medium, and high) and accommodate more delicate foods. You can manually adjust the machine's seal time between 0-6 seconds as well, which is useful for creating appropriate seals depending on how full your bags are and how thick the bag material is. If your bags are filled at capacity, you'll want a longer seal time to create a solid seal, but smaller loads will require only a couple seconds. This unit can also be used to marinate food or prepare for sous vide, as it includes an attachable hose in addition to a pulse and accessory function when using canisters (sold separately). Instead of having to regularly perform maintenance checks and oil changes, the dry pump eliminates the need for oil and is set to deliver long-lasting results.

The machine includes a dedicated storage space for packaging and can house rolls up to 11 1/2" x 50'. Plus, the built-in roll cutter facilitates convenient accessibility and usage. Monitor the vacuum process at a quick glance through the translucent acrylic lid to get the perfect seal every time. Keep an eye on your packaging supply through the lid on the roll storage so you're always adequately stocked. Its durable, stainless steel construction will withstand the rigors of commercial kitchen environments while remaining easy to clean. It includes (1) 11 1/2" x 50' package roll and (6) 8" x 12" bags to get you started vacuum sealing right away. This unit requires a 120V electrical connection for operation.

Attention CA Residents:

Customer questions about this product

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.

It’s been over a month and now that I’ve had plenty of time to access the machine as well as the failure rate, this is my review. I would not suggest this sealer. Starters, to seal or use start function, you literally have to put all your upper body strength to ensure it seals. There are no locks, just good ole man power. Second, this sealer has a high failure rate of at least 15%. When it does seal, it does not seal completely like 100%. I found the only time it seals 100% is if products being sealed are frozen and flat. Very disappointed in this sealer, as it wasn’t a cheap find. I use in professional setting and now have to seek a new one. Not pleased.

I have owned this machine for less then a year. It will no longer work automatically. It is now a two step process which is not convenient. I would not recommend buying this machine if it will only last 10 months, it cost too much for a machine that won't last. Customer service told me there is nothing they can do since it is over the 6 month warranty period. If you buy this machine you need to definitely purchase the extra warranty....

I am so addicted to this thing! I've only had it a week but so far so good! I previously bought another sealer in this price range and it was broken out of the box so I was somewhat skeptical when I ordered this. Luckily this thing is great. I seal everything now and it saves me a lot of time and money. I can stock up on good deals at the store and not worry about them going bad. Super happy with this product!

I like that it has a cooling fan and very strong Vacuum pump with adjustable Vacuum levels. You can seal products continuously without having to stop and let the heat strip cool down. I disliked that you have to hold pressure down on the lid to get it to seal and vacuum the product. I was thinking it would have a device to pull the lid down after closing. Minor inconvenience, but would not keep me from purchasing again. Good value for the price.

The directions were a bit confusing ( to me anyway), but after some trial and error I had it working like a Swiss watch! This unit is everything we needed as we primarily use it for freezing a lot of wild game, fish and some grocery store food as well. I'm very satisfied with it!

I do not recommend this sealer. Bought it for over $ at the time. To explain how often I use this, I seal about 3-4 bags every 2 weeks. From day one, it never sealed tight like my $ Food Saver. It would leave more air in the sealed bag, causing me to have to redo it over and over and waste bags. Finally, I realized you had to manually apply a lot of pressure during the vacuum/seal process for it to work better. Notice I stated "better", not perfect as I felt it still didn't vacuum 100%. I agree with many of the other low ratings in the sense regarding having to put manual pressure on the lid. After 2 uses, the "black tape", (for lack of a better description), that is over the sealer began to melt through, causing tiny tears. After about 4 uses, I noticed Read More

Ah! This is more like it!. I have been using the Vac-Pak same size but this one now has a clear vacuum lid that lets you see placement of bag before sealing so it is aligned perfectly. Love it!

Don't buy this. 1. You have to keep your hand on the unit and fully apply pressure for it to pull vacuum. It is not weighted, it does not click into place, you have to be present for the entire sealing process, even though you can set it to pull a certain vacuum rate. 2. There are parts that go bad that there are no replacement parts available for so you'll need a new unit. Namely the sealing wire and the cover over the wire. When you open the unit, it looks like there's a piece of duct tape over the seal wire that you would remove. DON'T! This breaks the machine! You'll have to go in your trash and restick it, and eventually use duct tape to keep it on at the ends. They do not sell replacements for this tape, and it's not regular tape nor is it Read More

This thing lasted just over 1 year and then stopped working in automatic mode. The display stopped showing vacuum level and sealing time/temp as usual display settings and had random numbers that don’t seem to correlate with user manual. Pulse mode works and then seal but doesn’t seem to seal well anymore. I had to buy a second one and added the webstaurant 2 year warranty. Galaxy only offers a 6 month warranty NOT 1 year. Good luck to me when I have to find out how well Webstaurant’s warranty works when this new boat anchor fails in 8 months.

There is no vacuum at all. Followed the instructions. Reset to factory settings. Unplugged and replugged and there is no vacuum at all. You can seal but not vacuum.
