For Standard Jars and Home Preserving
This rigid vacuum cover is built for common round jars, including bulbous twist-off jars and two-piece aluminium preserving jars.
Made for Common Round Jars
The cover fits over bulbous twist-off jars, such as cucumber, sauerkraut, and beetroot jars, as well as two-piece aluminium preserving jars.
Why Vacuum a Jar?
Removing the air slows the oxidation and microbial activity that spoil food, helping preserves, pickles, sauces, and dry goods stay fresh for far longer.
Useful for Preserving and Canning
It is equally useful for home preserving and canning, where pulling a strong vacuum in the jar helps the seal set.
Simple Container Mode Operation
Connect it to your LAVA sealer, switch to container mode, place the cover over the jar lid, run the vacuum, and lift the bell off when the jar is sealed.
High-Quality Vacuum for Standard Jars
If your jars have an 8 to 9cm screw cap, with a maximum 8.5cm lid diameter, this cover fits straight over the lid and pulls a strong vacuum using your LAVA vacuum sealer.
How to Use the Vacuum Cover
Connect Hose
Connect the cover to your LAVA vacuum sealer with the included hose.
Container Mode
Switch the sealer to container mode before vacuuming the jar.
Set the Lid
For twist-off jars, turn the lid on until you just feel resistance.
Place Cover
Place the cover over the jar lid so it sits evenly.
Run Vacuum
At full vacuum, lift off the cover and the jar is sealed.
For Other Jar Shapes and Larger Sizes
This cover suits standard round jars in the 8 to 9cm cap range. If you need to seal jars of other shapes or larger sizes, the LAVA Flex Jar-Sealer uses a flexible bell that fits round, square, oval, and conical jars up to 106mm.
Best For
Home preservers and canners, and anyone sealing standard round twist-off or preserving jars to extend shelf life.
Works With
Any LAVA vacuum sealer set to container mode, using the included hose.
