The AmeriVacS AVS-20 is a retractable nozzle vacuum sealer with a 20″ seal length for vacuum packaging without a chamber. Place the open end of the bag over the nozzle, press the pedal, and the AVS evacuates the bag and closes it with a 1/4″ wide seal.
It is built on the same platform as the AVN but without gas flush. The AVS needs 6 CFM at 110 PSI of compressed air and is clean room compatible. For longer seals or gas flush, the AVN is the matching model.
Key Features
- Retractable nozzle vacuum sealing: bag size is not limited by a chamber
- 20″ seal length, 1/4″ wide, sealing temperature up to 500 °F
- Maintenance-free vacuum pump with 6 CFM flow, up to 27 inHg
- Foot-pedal operation keeps both hands free for the bag
- Safety interlock: no heat seal until the jaws have fully closed
- Stainless steel air valves and pneumatic cylinders; 32 lb unit weight
Ideal For
- Electronics and medical device manufacturers: vacuum packing parts in barrier bags
- Food producers and retailers: vacuum packing bulk and irregular items
- Pharmaceutical and aerospace companies, which AmeriVacS names as users
- Operations that already have shop air and want a compact nozzle sealer
- Bulky or irregular items that are too large for a vacuum chamber
