Yasaki Coercial Bench Top Vacuum Packing Machine ZJ-VM500B2

The Yasaki ZJ-VM500B2 is a bench top chamber vacuum packing machine with two 500 mm seal bars, a 20 m3/h vacuum pump and a 365 x 500 x 100 mm stainless steel chamber. Cycle time is 10 to 30 seconds and it runs from a standard 10 A outlet. Vacuum bags are not included.

Why operators choose the ZJ-VM500B2

• Stainless steel chamber, not just a stainless shell — the chamber is where product and liquid sit, so a stainless chamber is what makes it genuinely washable
• Cycle time 10 to 30 seconds — fast enough to pack a service run rather than a few trial bags
• High transparent lid — you watch the seal happen instead of guessing, which is how staff learn to spot a bad bag
• Digital control panel — settings are repeatable between operators rather than dialled in by feel
• Two sealing bars — two seals per cycle, so throughput is double a single-bar machine of the same footprint
• Extends shelf life three to five times — the reason to own one: less waste and longer prep-ahead windows
• Prevents product discolouration — removing the oxygen is what keeps cut meat and produce looking saleable
• Vacuum bags are NOT included — order bags separately and size them to the chamber - it is the first thing people forget

Specifications

Venue suitability

The ZJ-VM500B2 suits butchers, smallgoods producers, caterers and production kitchens packing in volume, and any sous-vide operation. Its 500 mm seal bars take longer bags than the 400 mm model, so choose on the bag length you actually use.

Installation & delivery

It runs from a standard 10 A power point, so no electrical work is required. At 80 kg it is a two-person lift onto a bench, and the bench needs to carry that load in a 630 x 620 mm footprint. Allow clearance above for the lid to open fully. Order vacuum bags to suit the 365 x 500 mm chamber before the machine arrives.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What size bags will the ZJ-VM500B2 take?

The chamber is 365 x 500 x 100 mm and the seal bars are 500 mm long, so bags must fit inside that chamber. Bags are not included, so order them with the machine.

Q: How is a chamber machine different from an external vacuum sealer?

A chamber machine evacuates air from the whole sealed chamber rather than sucking it out of the bag, which is what lets it handle liquids and soft product without drawing them into the pump. It is the reason chamber machines are the standard in butchery and sous-vide work.

Q: What is the difference between this and the ZJ-VM400B2?

Chamber and seal bar size. This model has 500 mm seal bars and a 365 x 500 x 100 mm chamber; the 400 model has 400 mm bars and a 280 x 380 x 75 mm chamber. Both have two seal bars and the same 20 m3/h pump.

Q: Does it need special wiring?

No. It draws 0.9 kW at 240 V and runs from a standard 10 A power point.

Q: How much shelf life does vacuum packing add?

The manufacturer states three to five times longer, depending on the product and your storage temperature. It also prevents the discolouration that makes cut product unsaleable.

Q: What warranty does the ZJ-VM500B2 come with?

Covered for 2 years on parts and labour. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
