Vacuum Method
One of the keys to ZipVac storage is the order in
which the vacuum process takes place. In traditional
heat seal vacuum storage systems, the vacuum seal is
completed after the air has been evacuated from the food
storage bag. The problem with this system occurs when
the final seal is faulty. This requires cutting the
storage bag open, removing some of the items, evacuating
the air, and then attempting a positive reseal. ZipVac
storage bags have a plastic zippered seal that is closed
before the actual vacuum process. This guarantee a
positive seal prior to evacuating any air from the
storage bag. The integrity of the vacuum seal can be
checked at any time. If the seal has been improperly
seated, simply reopen the storage bag and then reseal
it. The easiest way to seal ZipVac vacuum bags is to lay
the storage bag on a flat surface with the one way air
valve pointing up. Press firmly on the plastic zipper
with the tip of your pointer finger. Moving from right
to left, trace the top of the storage bag with gentle
pressure. The plastic zipper of the storage bag with
gently seat itself with just a little pressure. Once the
ZipVac storage bag has been sealed, turn the one way
vacuum seal knob a quarter turn to the right. This will
open the one way air valve on the storage bag and allow
excess air to be evacuated from the ZipVac bag. Gentle
push down on the storage bag. This will help remove any
excess air prior to the vacuum process. The vacuum
process is initiated by placing the opening of the hand
help pump over the head of the one way valve. Make sure
the vacuum pump is firmly seated before the pump is
activated. This will insure the ZipVac portable vacuum
pump works correctly. In the case of the mechanical hand
pump, gently push the pump's plunger into the pump to
start the vacuum seal process. The ZipVac pump only
removes air on the upstroke of the pump. The one way
valve on the vacuum storage bag prevent air from
reentering the vacuum bag. This allows the user to
remove as much, or as little, air as the user decides
from the vacuum storage bag. The mechanical pump shines
in situations where recharging is impossible. The hand
held rechargeable pump works in a similar fashion to the
mechanical pump except there is no plunger to operate.
Simply depress the start button on the head of the
ZipVac pump. The rechargeable pump will automatically
start removing air from the vacuum storage bag.
By providing two methods of removing air from the vacuum storage bag,
users can decide which pump best fits the conditions
they are in. Both systems are
portable and don't require an AC power to work. Allowing outdoorsmen to bring vacuum
storage systems into the field. Something
impossible with traditional heat sealing vacuum
storage systems. ZipVac's vacuum storage system can be
used anywhere and the
integrity of the seal on the storage bag can be instantly
seen. If a food storage bag is
improperly closed, simply reseal the vacuum storage bag and
complete the vacuum process. The hand held
pump allows the user choose how much air is removed from
the food
storage bag . Since no
heat are used in the sealing process, there is no waiting.
ZipVac's food storage bags are available in a
variety of sizes and each has a seal that
can be resealed without the use of heat.
