**A:** If you would like to call our office we can process a pre-order over-the-phone for the retort bar assembly. This will reserve the next available to ship out to you and we won't process payment until the item ships.
Vac100 Retort Bar Assembly is one of kind when it comes to bar assemblies for home use. Not many, if any of our competitors carry this option on their units. We wanted to create units with endless options when it came to sealing. Toolless removal of the retort bar assembly makes for fast changeovers and ease of use!
Measuring in at 12.3″ this bar provides an exceptional seal width for a small unit. The retort bar is for sealing heavy mil pouches such as mylar and retort bags. Equipped with a 3.5mm heat strip, capable of providing the additional heat and pressure needed for these applications. The heat strip residing in the core of the assembly has a concave that sets this assembly apart from it’s counterpart. See the infographic in the images to learn how to distinguish between seal bar assembly and retort bar assembly.
COMMON USES:
•Seal off mylar pouches
•Seal retort canning pouches
•Close coffee bags
SEAL & COOLING TIME:
7 mil Mylar Bag – SEAL TIME – 2.4 seconds | COOLING TIME – 5.0 seconds
Retort Pouch– SEAL TIME – 2.8 seconds | COOLING TIME – 6.0 seconds
4 METHODS TO ENSURESEAL INTEGRITY:
1 – MOUTH FOLD
Fold over the pouch mouth leaving about a 2-4 inch clearance. This will prevent moist products from leaving behind residue or debris in the seal area.
2 – PREVENT WRINKLES
Lay pouch flat across seal bar assembly inserting the mouth entirely into the bag clips. If you are working with a low profile product in your pouch, then be certain to fill the void below the product with filler plates.
3 – INSPECT WELD
The seal should have a perfectly continuous crosshatch pattern across the entire mouth of the package. Small blemishes are typically not of concern. Simply use the resistance test to check the strength in that potentially compromised area.
4 – RESISTANCE TEST
Simply tug at the mouth of the pouch to ensure complete adhesion has taken place. If you are unable to rip apart, you have performed a solid weld/seal.
Not sure where to buy your mylar and retort bags? Check out https://www.topmylar.com/, they have great prices and a good selection of products. Every retort seal bar sold by JVR is tested to work with 7mil Mylar and 4.6mil Retort bags.
Works well with the high-quality 7mm mylar bags recommended by JVR from Pleasant Grove (topmylar.com). I use mylar bags mainly for storing hops in the freezer.
Have no complaints with the retort bar sealer for the Vac100. Actually, I love everything about the Vac100 for that matter. Quiet, powerful, flexible, does everything that I would want in a Vac chamber sealer. Also, there are few this size of other brands that will do retort bags!
Received my product and almost immediately had a screen glitch. The box had obviously been dropped in shipping. Customer service immediately responded and sent a new unit out that day with instructions and return label for damaged unit. New machine works like a champ! Highly recommend !!
