About the LAVA LiquidStop

LAVA LiquidStop

Seal wet food without the mess

A roll of LAVA LiquidStop absorbent strip

Wet food is the hardest to vacuum seal: the vacuum pulls moisture towards the seal bar, and one drop in the weld can stop the bag closing properly. LiquidStop is an absorbent strip that catches that liquid first, so the bag seals on clean, dry film, and the liquid stays out of the machine.

    Across the full bag width, just below the seal.

  3. 03

    Vacuum

    The strip collects the liquid as the air comes out.

LiquidStop

In the bag

Fish, seafood, marinated meat and sous vide portions: the moisture that comes with wet food.

VS

Vacuum container

For free liquid

Soups and sauces go into a vacuum container, not a bag.

And the liquid separator?

The separator and its filter inside the machine catch liquid before the pump. LiquidStop stops it at the seal in the first place, so less ever reaches the separator. Spare filters: vacuum sealer spare parts.

Specifications

The clean way to vacuum-seal wet and moist foods. When you seal something juicy, marinated meat, fresh fish, seafood, sous vide portions, liquid gets pulled toward the seal during vacuuming. That liquid contaminates the weld, so the bag does not seal properly, and it can be drawn into the machine. LiquidStop is an absorbent strip you lay across the bag under the seal bar; it soaks up the liquid so the seal stays clean and the machine stays protected. One roll is 30cm x 12m, enough for around 500 bags. Works with any vacuum sealer and any vacuum bag or roll .

Common questions

What does LiquidStop do?

It is an absorbent strip you place under the seal when vacuuming wet foods. It soaks up the liquid that travels toward the seal bar, so the weld forms cleanly and holds, and it keeps that liquid out of the machine.

How do I use it?

Cut a strip about 2cm wide from the 30cm roll, lay it across the full width of the bag just below where the seal forms, then vacuum and seal as normal. The strip collects the liquid as the machine works.

How is this different from the liquid separator in my machine?

The liquid separator and its filter are parts inside the machine that catch liquid before the pump. LiquidStop is a consumable strip you put in the bag, stopping the liquid at the seal in the first place. They do related jobs; many people use LiquidStop to reduce how much ever reaches the separator.

Can I vacuum soups or sauces with it?

No. LiquidStop handles the moisture in normal wet foods, but it is not for large amounts of free liquid. For soups, sauces, and similar, use a vacuum container instead.

How many bags does one roll do?

One 30cm x 12m roll is enough for approximately 500 bags at 30cm width.
