The V.350 Premium L - LAVA's Most Sold Commercial Machine
The V.350 Premium L is the most-sold machine in the LAVA range in Australia, and it sits at a specific point in the lineup: it is the first model with a stainless steel housing, a 36cm seal bar, and 900W of sealing power. Those three things together define who this machine is for.
The stainless steel housing is the clearest signal that this machine is built for a commercial environment — butcher shops, restaurant kitchens, catering operations, food processing facilities, hospitals, and mining. Stainless steel wipes down cleanly, handles knocks and cuts on a busy bench, and does not show the kind of wear that an ABS housing accumulates over years of daily commercial use.
The 36cm seal bar is 2cm wider than the 34cm bar on the V.333 range. That extra width is not about sealing a different category of product — it is about having more margin when you are working with large, awkward cuts, whole sides of fish, or bags that are wide to begin with. It also means you can run two standard-width bags simultaneously side by side, doubling throughput on smaller portioned products.
At 900W, the sealing transformer cleanly and consistently drives three seal lines across the full 36cm bar, cycle after cycle, through a full commercial shift.
The machine weighs 11 kg. That is roughly twice the weight of the V.333 Black at 6.4 kg and a strong indicator of the build quality inside. It is still portable.

Stainless Steel for a Commercial Setting
Every machine in the LAVA range below the V.350 uses an ABS plastic housing. The V.350 Premium L is the first model with a full stainless-steel housing, and the difference is both visible and practical.
Stainless steel tolerates the conditions of a commercial kitchen or food processing bench — repeated wipe-downs with commercial cleaning products, contact with meat juices and marinades, knocks from adjacent equipment, and the general wear of being used hard every day. ABS plastic handles these conditions reasonably well in a domestic or light commercial setting, but in a busy butcher shop or restaurant kitchen running production for hours daily, stainless steel holds up better over the long term and is easier to keep clean in line with commercial food handling requirements.
The weight of the V.350 Premium L — 11 kg — is partly a product of the stainless steel housing. The machine does not move around on the bench during the LCS+ lid press or during high-speed vacuum cycles. For a commercial operation where the machine is fixed in one position and used continuously, that stability is useful.
36cm Triple-Seal Ba
The V.350 Premium L seals bags up to 36cm wide with a triple weld. That is 2cm wider than the V.333 range, which tops out at 34cm.
For most standard food vacuum bags, 34cm is sufficient. The 36cm bar becomes relevant in three situations:
First, when working with wide-format products — a full side of salmon, a large leg of pork, and wide retail-format bags used in food production. Products that do not quite fit a 34cm bag seal cleanly in a 36cm bag.
Second, for running two narrower bags simultaneously. Two standard 160mm bags positioned side by side across the 36cm bar seal in a single cycle, cutting cycle time roughly in half for high-volume portioning work. This is a common workflow in butcher shops and catering operations using the V.350.
Third, the extra width gives more margin when positioning wide bags — you do not need to be as precise about placement to keep the bag within the seal area, which matters when you are working quickly through a long batch.
The triple-seal produces three seam lines across the full 36cm on every bag, making it the right seal configuration for wet products that will go into long-term freezer storage.
Pressure Gauge and L+ Regulation
The V.350 Premium L includes the analogue pressure gauge and the L+ pressure regulator as standard, the same combination used across the V.300 and V.333 range. On the V.350, the L+ regulator adjusts vacuum pressure down to approximately -0.2 bar — a slightly tighter lower limit than the -0.3 bar available on the V.333 machines — giving you more precise control at the gentle end of the scale.
The pressure gauge shows the exact vacuum level in bar during every cycle. In fully automatic mode the machine draws down to -0.94 bar and seals without input from you. In manual mode you watch the needle and trigger the weld yourself when it reaches your target level.
The L+ regulator is used in manual mode. You set the target vacuum level before the cycle starts and watch the gauge needle as the pump works. When the needle reaches your target, you press the seal button. The machine stops pumping and fires the three weld lines. For moist products where you want a firm but not maximum vacuum — marinated cuts, soft cheeses, brined items — this level of control prevents liquid from being drawn toward the seal line and reduces the risk of a weak weld.
LCS+ — The Commercial Closing System
The V.350 Premium L uses the LCS+ (LAVA Closing System Plus), an upgraded version of the LCS found on the V.333 range. You press the lid briefly and the magnetic latching system holds it closed for the entire vacuum cycle. The pump starts automatically. When the cycle completes, the solenoid valve releases the vacuum from the chamber and the lid opens on its own.
You do not hold the lid down. You do not press a separate seal button in automatic mode. You load the bag, press the lid, and prepare the next bag while the machine finishes the current cycle. For an operation processing hundreds of bags in a session, the LCS+ removes fatigue from the repetitive press-and-hold motion required by less automated machines.
Manual mode is available via the control panel toggle. In manual mode, the pump starts automatically but you control the seal step based on what the pressure gauge reads. This is the mode to use with the L+ regulator for delicate or high-liquid products.
The automated cooling system on the triple-seal strip prevents the sealing bar from overheating between cycles. Combined with the fan-cooled housing and oversized 900W sealing transformer, the V.350 Premium L handles up to 1,000 consecutive sealings per session without needing downtime between cycles.
ESD Bags and Industrial Vacuum Packaging
The V.350 Premium L is one of LAVA’s recommended machines for sealing ESD vacuum bags (i-Vac anti-static bags used for protecting electronic components from electrostatic discharge). The combination of a strong vacuum (-0.94 bar), a wide seal bar, and the triple weld makes it suitable for industrial vacuum packaging applications beyond food—electronics, medical components, metal parts, coins, documents, and other items that require airtight protection against moisture, oxygen, or contamination.
For industrial applications, LAVA recommends the V.350, V.400, and V.500 as the most suitable machines in the range.
Bags, Rolls, Containers, Jars, and Pots
One button press switches the V.350 Premium L to container mode. It works with LAVA vacuum containers in glass, plastic, and stainless steel; standard preserving jars with a compatible valve lid; cans; and pots. The suction attachment for containers is included.
The sealing time is fully adjustable, covering everything from thin dry-aging bags through to 200-micron industrial-thickness foil. Bag width up to 36cm.
The dual liquid protection system is standard — a large removable liquid receiver in the vacuum chamber and a second receiver near the bag locator, both intercept liquid drawn in during the cycle before it reaches the pump. For a commercial machine processing large volumes of wet product daily, this protection is essential for long-term pump reliability.
Bags, Rolls, Containers, Jars, and Pots
The V.350 Premium L works with any embossed vacuum bag or roll up to 36cm wide. LAVA’s vacuum sealer bags and vacuum seal rolls are Swiss-made from plasticiser-free PE/PA material — taste-neutral, odour-free, and built for long-term commercial freezer storage.
For dry-aging beef or lamb, LAVA’s dry-aging bags work directly with the V.350 Premium L via the adjustable sealing time.
For sous vide cooking in a restaurant or catering setting, the V.350 Premium L pairs with the LAVA sous vide stick. Seal proteins consistently at -0.94 bar across an entire service prep session — the fully automatic cycle and LCS+ system means the sealing process does not slow down the prep line.
Who Uses the V.350 Premium L
Butchers and meat processors: The 36cm bar handles wide cuts and large bags without repositioning. The triple seal is the right configuration for fresh meat with liquid content. The stainless steel housing is suitable for a meat-processing bench. This is the standard machine for a working butcher shop.
Restaurant and commercial kitchen operators: Vacuum packaging for service prep, portion control, and extended fridge storage all run through this machine in a professional kitchen. The LCS+ system and 1,000-consecutive-sealing capacity match the pace of a commercial prep kitchen.
Catering and food production operations: Scaling up meal prep, packaging for transport, and preserving bulk ingredients all suit the V.350’s throughput and build quality.
Hunters processing large volumes of game: Sealing whole legs, large shoulders, and wide cuts from big game requires the bag width and sealing power this machine provides. For a hunter processing an entire animal, the 36cm bar and simultaneous dual-bag sealing significantly reduce the total sealing time.
Fishermen and seafood processors: The triple seal is the correct configuration for fresh fish, and the 36cm bar handles large flat fish and whole fillets. LAVA recommends the V.350 for seafood businesses, and customer reviews on this page reflect that use case directly.
Industrial and ESD applications: Electronics manufacturers, engineering workshops, and operations sealing anti-static bags, metal components, or medical products alongside food applications.
V.350 Premium L vs. the Range
LAVA Vacuum Packaging — Full Range Comparison
Every machine is manufactured in Germany by Landig + Lava and backed by long-term warranty support.
| Specification |
|---|
V.350 Premium L vs. V.333 Black or Silver: The V.350 adds a stainless steel housing, 100 more watts (900W vs 800W), a wider 36cm seal bar, and a tighter L+ pressure range (to -0.2 bar vs -0.3 bar). If you are running a commercial operation where the housing material matters for hygiene and durability, or you need the extra seal width, the V.350 is the step up. For home and light commercial use, where the ABS housing is adequate, the V.333 Black or V.333 Silver handles the work at a lower price.
V. 350 Premium L vs. V.400 Premium XL: The V.400 Premium XL steps up to a 46cm seal bar and 1,100W — the right machine when you are regularly sealing products that do not fit within 36cm, or when throughput requires the ability to seal three standard bags simultaneously. The housing, vacuum pressure, and triple seal remain the same.
German-Made. Stainless Steel. A Machine Built for Commercial Life
The V.350 Premium L is built by Landig + Lava in southern Germany — the same family-owned manufacturer producing every machine in the LAVA range. The stainless steel housing is matched by individual serviceable components inside: a sealing strip, a gasket, liquid receivers, and pump parts, all of which are replaceable by the operator without sending the machine away for service.
The V.350 Premium L carries a 2-year commercial warranty. Spare parts are guaranteed available for at least 20 years from your purchase date. For a commercial machine that is expected to process thousands of bags annually, that part’s guarantee is a meaningful operating commitment.

LAVA V.350 Premium L Common Questions
What makes the V.350 Premium L different from the V.333 Black?
Can I seal two bags at once?
Is the V.350 Premium L suitable for ESD and industrial packaging?
Can the vacuum level be reduced for delicate foods?
Yes. The L+ pressure regulator, included as standard, reduces the target vacuum level to approximately -0.3 bar. Switch to manual mode, set the L+ dial to your target, watch the pressure gauge needle during the cycle, and press the seal button when the needle reaches your target level. The machine pumps only to that level before the triple seal fires.
How is the V.350 different from the V.400 Premium XL?
The V.400 Premium XL has a 46cm seal bar and 1,100W sealing transformer — suitable for operations that regularly need to seal wider products or run three standard bags simultaneously for higher throughput. Vacuum pressure, triple seal, and housing material are the same across both models.
What bags does it use?
Any embossed vacuum bag or roll up to 36cm wide and up to 6 metres in length. LAVA’s vacuum sealer bags and vacuum seal rolls cover this in full. The adjustable sealing time handles everything from thin dry-aging material to 200-micron industrial foil.

Michael was fantastic helping our business choose a vacuum sealer. We’ve been using vacuum sealers for quite some time, and have always struggled with a high vacuum pressure using non-chamber style vacuum sealers. We were also looking for something we could use in a production line that wouldn’t constantly overheat.
Let me say this thing is built like a tank. It’s so damn powerful, we absolutely love it. The triple seal is excellent too, and the ability to change how much pressure you want is such a good feature for delicates. I’m glad we don’t have to resort to a chamber sealer which are quite cumbersome and bulky to handle, and can’t do long bags for things such as salmon, brisket, etc.

The LAVA V350 is an excellent machine.
You don’t have to wait for it to cool down during sealing sessions. It looks like it is built to last as opposed to my last vacuum sealer which had a 2 day lifespan.
You don’t have to force the lid down to start a vacuum either.
Just think of the cheaper brands that weigh maybe 2-3 kg, well the V350 weighs 11kg. That is because of the quality of materials and components used.
Yes, LAVA are not cheap, but neither is a machine that cost $200 and lasts 2 days. It is expensive for me to drive to town, so I need quality and reliability.
The V350 does your normal vacuum sealing duties as expected, but I have also found it to be useful for sealing other bags such as dog food bags. Obviously you can’t vac the air out, but you can get most out by folding the bag and then sealing it.
Lastly I have found the LAVA bags to be better for moist food than the brand that came with my other sealer. The other brand bags channel the liquid up towards the vacuum chamber quicker, which is undesireable.
