About the Vacuum Pressure Control L+
L+ pressure regulator
Control the vacuum, protect the food
Full vacuum suits firm food, but the same force crushes bread, tears delicate fish, bursts soft fruit and flattens pastries. The L+ regulator sets how much vacuum the machine pulls, from a light −0.2 bar up to its full strength.
- Lightest setting
- −0.2 bar
- Full power for firm food
- Max
- Add-on for
- V.100, V.200
Foods
What needs less vacuum
Bread
Draws snug without pressing the loaf flat.
Fish
Protects delicate fillets from tearing.
Fruit
Berries, tomatoes and soft produce don't burst.
Soft cheese and pastries
Keep their shape instead of collapsing.
For steaks, hard cheese and other firm food, the regulator simply stays at maximum. Sauces and soups go into a vacuum container rather than a bag, with or without it.
Which sealer
Add-on or built in
V.100 and V.200 Premium X
An add-on
These machines show the vacuum on a bar, not in bar, so L+ is set by trial rather than to an exact figure.
V.300 and up
Built in, with a gauge
The V.300, V.350, V.400 and V.500 have L+ as standard, with an analogue gauge to set it by.
Specifications
An add-on that lets you dial down the vacuum strength on your LAVA sealer, so soft and fragile foods are not crushed. Full vacuum is great for meat and firm items, but it flattens bread, breaks delicate fish, and bruises soft fruit. The L+ regulator lets you set the vacuum anywhere from a gentle -0.2 bar up to the machine's maximum, so you match the pressure to what you are sealing. It is an available upgrade for the V.100 and V.200, and already built into the V.300 and up. Upgrades the V.100 and V.200 Premium X . Already standard on the V.300 and above.

Common questions
What does the L+ regulator do?
It lets you adjust how strong a vacuum the machine pulls, from a gentle -0.2 bar up to maximum. That means you can seal soft and fragile foods without crushing them, while still using full power for firm items.
Which machines is it for?
It is an add-on for the LAVA V.100 and V.200. The V.300, V.333, V.350, V.400, and V.500 already have it built in as standard, so those owners do not need it.
What foods is it for?
Pressure-sensitive ones: bread, delicate fish, soft fruit and berries, ripe tomatoes, soft cheese, and pastries, anything that full vacuum would flatten, tear, or burst.
Do I still need it for firm foods?
No. For meat, hard cheese, and other firm items, full vacuum is fine and the regulator simply stays at maximum. It only matters when you want less than full vacuum for something delicate.
Can I use it for liquids?
Liquids like sauces and soups should be vacuum sealed in a container rather than a bag, regardless of the regulator. The L+ is about controlling pressure for solid but delicate foods.
