Closable zippered bag
One of the features that makes ZipVac Food storage
system preferable to traditional types of vacuum food
storage bag systems is the method ZipVac uses to seal
their vacuum food storage bags. Traditional vacuum food
bag systems require a large heating element to seal the
openings of their vacuum food bags. These types of
vacuum storage systems generally require the consumer to
construct their own food storage bags from a continuous
roll of vacuum storage bag material. One end of the
vacuum bag material is placed in the sealing receptacle
of the heater storage system and then a cover, or latch,
is lowered onto the two layers of storage bag material.
A heating element within the vacuum food storage system
bonds the two layers of plastic bag material together
and creates a seal. Once the bottom has been created,
the vacuum storage bag is then filled with the items to
be stored. The vacuum process is completed by placing
the open end of the vacuum storage bag into the trough
of the food storage system. Prior to sealing the
opening, a vacuum pump contained within the food storage
unit is activated to remove any air that might still
exist within the food storage bag. Most heat sealing
systems monitor the vacuum pressure within the freezer
storage bag and then automatically shut off once the
factory preset level has been reached. Once the excess
air has been removed, the heating cover is used to
create the seal for the other end of the vacuum food
storage bag. There are several problems that can occur
when using these types of vacuum storage bag systems.
One of the first occurs when one of the openings of the
food storage bag is not sealed properly because of the
bulkiness of the item. Since the bottom of the food
storage bag is created when the bag is empty, the bottom
seal is typically the easiest seal to create. It is the
final, or top seal, of these types of heat sealed
storage bags that causes the problem. In most
cases there is just no way to get the end of the vacuum
food bag to seal properly unless excess storage bag
material is used and since the vacuum process occurs
prior to creating the seal on the food storage bag, any
bad seal means the whole sealing process must be started
over. This typically means that some to the items in the
vacuum storage bag have to be removed in order to make
room for the heat storage system's attempt to create a
new seal. The second problem occurs when the user
attempts to create a seal before the heating element of
the vacuum storage system has reached its proper
temperature. Either way, in the event of a improper
seal, the process of creating a viable vacuum storage
bag must be redone.
ZipVac has solved both of these vacuum food sealing
problems with the creation of plastic zippered food
storage bags. The advantage of their food storage bags
is the airtight seal is created prior to the vacuum
process. This saves individuals the hassle of going
through the entire vacuum food storage operation of
traditional heat sealed food storage systems and then
discovering the seal on the vacuum storage bag was
faulty. With ZipVac's vacuum storage system, the
integrity of the vacuum storage bag can be instantly
seen. In the event of a food storage bag being
improperly closed, the user simply reseals the bag and
then completes the vacuum process. The hand held vacuum
pump instantly allows the user to identify if the food
storage bag was improperly closed. Since there is no
heat used in the sealing process, there is no waiting
for heating elements to warm up or burn out.
ZipVac's vacuum food storage bags are available in a
wide variety of sizes and feature a plastic seal that
can be opened and resealed without the use of heat.
