Everything you need to know
The V.500 Premium XXL is designed for serious scale — operators handling full-day production volumes, oversized cuts, large-format packs, and the kind of throughput that smaller machines simply can't keep up with. The extra-wide sealing surface takes everything in stride.
From the stainless steel body to the professional pressure-gauge display, every element of the XXL is built to outlast the business that bought it. Each seal closes deep, wide, and resolute — the kind of finish you'd put your reputation on.
For commercial kitchens, food producers, and packers operating at scale, the V.500 Premium XXL doesn't just seal — it signals the level of your operation. Large-format packs come out crisp, professional, and consistent. Customers read care, scale, and capability before tasting a thing.
Daily use feels effortless even at full tilt. The XXL responds with a purposeful industrial hum, handling delicate produce, dense portions, oversized cuts, 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 the most demanding.
This is the operational backbone of a business built for scale — a tool that respects your time, your output, and your reputation, no matter how big the day. Built once. Trusted for years.

One-button simplicity
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
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
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.

From kitchen to camp
Game meat. Biltong. Fish. Sous-vide cuts. Marinades. Cheese. Coffee beans. Dry goods. Documents. Camera lenses. Ammunition. Anything that benefits from being air-free and moisture-free.
South African home cooks, hunters, anglers, butchers, and food producers have used Lava machines daily since 2007 across every imaginable application.
Made in Germany since 1982
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.
“I've used my Lava daily in the butchery for nine years. Not one repair, not one missed seal. It just works.”
