How to Choose Omcan and Turbovac Equipment

The Omcan range in our store covers vacuum packaging, tray wrapping and cup sealing for kitchens, butcher shops, delis, drink shops and food producers. Choose by task first, then by size and daily volume, and finally by power supply.

Turbovac tabletop chamber sealers

The Turbovac TS20 is compact, with an 11″ seal bar and a 4 or 8 m³/h Busch pump. The Turbovac TS40 takes products up to 7″ high, with a 16.5″ seal bar, and comes in four versions, including gas flush and two seal bars.

Turbovac mobile and double chamber machines

The Turbovac M10-SS is a mobile floor model with two seal bars on 120 V; the M70 and M80 add larger pumps and 10-program control on 3-phase power. The L10 and L40 double chamber machines are built for production.

Omcan economy models

The Omcan 19481 and 19482 are tabletop chamber sealers with digital controls; the 44594 has a large 21.3″ × 20.5″ chamber. The floor models 24081, 24082, 24083 and 31824 have dome covers, and the Omcan 43632 is a stainless steel double chamber machine.

Liquids: Trento vertical machine

The Omcan 48246 Trento holds bags upright in a vertical chamber for soups, sauces, granulates and powders, in bags up to about 3 liters. It plugs into a standard 120 V outlet.

Film wrappers

The Omcan 14428 (one roll) and 14430 (two rolls) wrap trays in stretch film up to 18″ wide with a hot-rod cutter and a 6″ × 15″ hot plate.

Cup sealer

The Omcan 44644 seals 95 mm drink cups with a film lid, with a ring for 90 mm cups included.

Choosing a vacuum sealer size

Measure your largest bag and thickest product, then choose the seal bar length and chamber height, with some room around the product. Count the bags you seal in your busiest hour: a larger pump and a second seal bar or chamber raise output.

Gas flush and programs

The Turbovac TS40-L21-GF adds gas flush for products that should not be pressed by full vacuum, such as baked goods. Program memory on the TS40-L21-10P, -GF and -LL21, the M70, the M80 and the double chamber machines stores settings per product, so every operator gets the same result.

Power

Tabletop models, the M10-SS, the Trento, the wrappers and the cup sealer run on standard 110–120 V power. Several floor and double chamber models need 220 V single-phase or 3-phase power and are installed by a certified electrician.

Typical setups by business

Restaurants and cafés often combine a tabletop chamber sealer such as the TS20 or 19482 with the Trento for soups and sauces. Butcher shops and delis use a floor model or the M10-SS for daily packing and a film wrapper for the display case. Bubble tea and juice shops add the 44644 cup sealer at the drink station. Food producers move to the M70, M80 or a double chamber machine when volumes grow.

Maintenance and supplies

Plan for vacuum pouches, seal bar tape, lid gaskets and pump oil on the vacuum sealers, stretch film for the wrappers and sealing film for the cup sealer. Follow Omcan's maintenance instructions for your model, and keep spare consumables on hand for busy days.

Certifications

Certifications such as NSF, cMETus or cETLus are listed per model on each product page, as stated by Omcan.

Shipping

Omcan equipment ships from an Omcan warehouse in the USA by parcel carrier or LTL freight. Freight is quoted before you pay.
