About the V.100

LAVA V.100

Where German-made vacuum sealing started

The LAVA V.100 vacuum sealer

The V.100 was the entry point into the LAVA range: a 400W single-seal vacuum sealer with manual operation, made in Germany like every other LAVA machine. The pump draws the air out of the bag, and when you're happy with the vacuum, you press the seal button. That is the whole process.

It is no longer made; its successor is the V.100 Premium X.

Inside

Built to be repaired

What set it apart from the cheap sealers sold in supermarkets wasn't a feature list but what's inside: a pump built for continuous use, an oversized sealing transformer that doesn't overheat, and wearing parts that can be replaced at home without sending the machine away.

Parts for the V.100

Operation

You decide when it seals

The sealing time dial and switches on the LAVA V.100's control panel

You choose the moment the seal fires, so you can stop the vacuum wherever you like: useful for soft food that doesn't need a full vacuum, such as bread or delicate herbs. The trade-off is a little more hands-on time per bag than on a semi-automatic or fully automatic machine.

Single seal

Dry goods, vegetables, meals

One weld line, about 4mm wide, across the whole bar: enough for food without liquid near the seal.

VS

Double seal

Fresh meat, raw fish, marinades

With liquid near the seal line, a second weld gives more margin: the V.100 Premium X seals with 2×4mm.

Bags and containers

Adjustable sealing time, container mode

The sealing time is adjustable, from thin dry aging bags to 200-micron industrial foil, and it takes any embossed vacuum bag or roll up to the width of its seal bar. One button switches it to container mode, for LAVA vacuum containers in glass, plastic or stainless steel, preserving jars, and pots or cans with a compatible vacuum valve.

05 · FAQ

Common questions

What is the difference between the V.100 and the V.100 Premium X?
Three things. The Premium X has a faster, stronger pump (35L/min and −0.94 bar against 20L/min and −0.8 bar), a double seal instead of a single one, and semi-automatic operation: the pump starts by itself and you press Seal when ready.
Is the single seal strong enough for meat and fish?
For most food, yes: the oversized sealing transformer gives a clean, consistent weld, and the sealing time adjusts to the bag. With a lot of liquid near the seal line, a double seal gives more margin.
Can I adjust the vacuum level?
Not with a gauge: you decide when to press Seal by watching the food in the bag. That gives basic control over how much air comes out, without a precise pressure reading. For precise regulation, the V.300 range has an analogue pressure gauge.
Can it seal dry aging bags?
Yes. The adjustable sealing time handles thin dry aging film.
Does it work with containers?
Yes. One button switches it to container mode, for LAVA vacuum containers, preserving jars and pots with compatible valve lids.
