01 · Right for you?
Is the V.500 Premium XXL right for you?
Choose it if you
- seal whole cuts, large fish or cheese wheels too wide for 46cm
- want −0.97 bar, the deepest vacuum in the LAVA range
- want three pumps drawing evenly along a 72cm bar
- seal several bags side by side in one cycle
- want a machine you can repair for 20+ years
02 · Made in southern Germany
Three pumps: if one stops, two keep going
Each LAVA Turbo Pump has its own double ball bearings and filter protection and is serviceable on its own. Sealing strips, gaskets and liquid receivers are replaced by the operator, without returning the machine.

- 20+ yearsspare parts available
Three pumps
An even vacuum end to end
Three pumps of 20L/min each, spread along the chamber, draw a bag at either end down as fast as one in the centre. If one pump develops a fault mid-session, the other two keep working: slower, but not stopped.
−0.97 bar
The deepest vacuum in the range
Close to absolute vacuum, and shared only with the V.1200. Less residual air means less oxygen and slower oxidation: worth it for whole cuts, aged meat and high-value product.
72cm triple seal
Whole cuts in one bag
Three weld lines of about 4mm across all 72cm: a leg of beef, a side of pork or a whole cheese wheel in one bag. The 1,800W transformer keeps the heat even along the bar, with 200-micron foil too.
Gauge and L+
Set the vacuum, fire the seal
Automatic mode seals at −0.97 bar by itself. For delicate or moist product, switch to manual, set L+ as low as about −0.2 bar and fire the seal at your target on the gauge.
Who it's for
- Whole-animal processorsAbattoirs, wholesale butchers and game processors beyond 46cm.
- Seafood operationsWide flat fish and full sides, sealed for long freezer storage.
- Cheese and charcuterieWhole wheels and large blocks for wholesale or export.
- Food production linesSeveral bags per cycle at −0.97 bar, fully automatic.

Where it sits
Three pumps, 72cm and −0.97 bar
A large vacuum sealer with a 72cm triple seal bar and three independent pumps that together move 60 litres a minute, down to −0.97 bar: the deepest vacuum in the LAVA range, shared only with the V.1200.
Choose it over the V.400 Premium XL for the width, the deeper vacuum, or both: whole-animal and half-carcass packaging, wide cheese and charcuterie, seafood processing and industrial bags wider than 46cm. At 20.5kg and 83cm wide it is a fixed production station: position it once and it runs. See the commercial cryovac machines and all LAVA vacuum sealers.

Inside
Three pumps instead of one
An even vacuum end to end
One pump drawing across a 72cm chamber would leave the far ends lagging behind the middle. Three LTP pumps of 20 litres a minute each, spread along the chamber, draw down evenly, so a bag at either end reaches −0.97 bar as fast as one in the centre, and the triple seal is the same quality across the bar.
Two keep going
If one pump develops a fault mid-session, the other two keep working: slower, but not stopped. Each pump has its own double ball bearings and filter protection, and each is serviceable on its own.
Vacuum
The deepest vacuum in the range
−0.97 bar is close to absolute vacuum (−1 bar), 0.03 bar deeper than the V.350 and V.400. Less residual air in the bag means less oxygen, slower oxidation and a longer time before quality starts to drop: worth having for whole cuts, high-value aged meat and large food products where shelf life and presentation have commercial value.
For industrial packaging, the denser vacuum gives better protection against moisture, oxidation and contamination during long storage.
Sealing
What fits across 72cm
Whole and half carcass
A leg of beef, a side of pork or a large game section in one purpose-sized bag, not split or forced.
Cheese and charcuterie
Whole wheels and large pieces for wholesale or export, in bags wider than 46cm.
Four bags per cycle
Four standard bags side by side: more output per hour than the V.400's three, at the same cycle time.
Industrial packaging
Wide ESD bags, large sheet materials, oversized components and medical supply bags.
Three weld lines of about 4mm run across all 72cm. The 1,800W transformer keeps the heat even along the bar from the first seal to the thousandth, with 200-micron foil too; automatic cooling on the seal strip and the fan-cooled housing allow 1,000 seals in a row.
Control and operation
Gauge, L+ and LCS+
A brief press of the lid engages the LCS+ magnetic latch; the three pumps start together, the triple seal fires across 72cm and the solenoid vents the chamber and opens the lid. You load the next set of bags meanwhile.
For delicate or moist product, switch to manual and set L+ as low as about −0.2 bar: you watch the gauge and fire the seal at your target. On a 72cm bag of high-value product, that control matters more, not less. The sealing time is set on a scale from 1 to 13.
One machine
Bags, rolls, containers and jars
Any embossed bag or roll up to 72cm wide and 6m long: LAVA's vacuum sealer bags, vacuum sealer rolls and dry aging bags, from thin dry aging material to 200-micron industrial foil. Container mode vacuums LAVA vacuum containers, preserving jars and pots with a vacuum valve.
