About the LAVA V.500 Premium (72cm) Vacuum Sealer
Engineered for High-Volume Operations
The V.500 Premium is built for the busiest operators — commercial kitchens, butcheries, food producers, and packers running full daily volumes. It handles the workload with the kind of unshakeable rhythm you only get from a machine engineered for continuous professional use.
Industrial Build, German Engineering
From the stainless steel body to the professional pressure-gauge display, every detail signals a serious tool. Each seal closes deep and certain — the kind of finish you'd expect from a machine designed to outlast the business that bought it.
The Edge That Sets Your Brand Apart
For operators scaling into serious commercial production, the V.500 Premium does more than seal — it signals the level of your operation. Customers see a pristine, professional pack and read care, consistency, and quality before tasting a thing. That's how craft turns into competitive advantage.
Smooth Power, Day After Day
Daily use feels effortless. The V.500 responds with a purposeful hum, handling delicate produce, dense portions, jars, containers, and bulk packaging with the same composed performance. Adjustable controls let you dial in the right vacuum and seal time for every job, from light to demanding.
This isn't a piece of kitchen equipment. It's the operational backbone of a serious business — a tool that respects your time, your output, and your reputation. Built once. Trusted for years.

One-button simplicity
LAVA V.500 Premium (72cm): One-Button Vacuum Welding
Drop the bag in. Push down. Walk away. The Lava handles vacuum, seal, and release as one fluid motion — no menus, no settings, no fuss.
For everything else — delicate foods, marinades, partial vacuums — the manual mode gives you complete control over the suction level. Both worlds, one machine.
Twice the seal, twice the security
Double Seal Technology on the LAVA V.500 Premium (72cm)
Two parallel weld lines instead of one. If the first seal ever fails — under freezer pressure, sous-vide heat, or transport — the second seal holds.
This is the difference between a bag that holds for years and one that vents after a month. It's why professional butcheries and hunters trust Lava with their entire season's harvest.
Beyond bags
Vacuum Containers & Jars with the LAVA V.500 Premium (72cm)
Every Lava vacuum sealer ships with a hose attachment — extend the same machine to vacuum-seal Lava containers, glass jars, wine bottles and even pots. One device, dozens of use cases.

South African home cooks, hunters, anglers, butchers, and food producers have used Lava machines daily since 2007 across every imaginable application.

Every Lava is engineered, machined and assembled in Bad Saulgau, Baden-Württemberg by the Landig family. The same factory, the same tolerances, the same obsession with build quality for over four decades.
