Troubleshooting Tip: Vacuum Pump Not Starting?

Is your vacuum packaging machine’s control panel working normally, but the vacuum pump won’t start?

One possible cause is a disconnected or tripped electrical protector. Check KM1, QM1, MCB1, and MCB2 to identify the issue and restore normal operation.

✅ Inspect the electrical protectors
✅ Check for disconnected components
✅ Restore connections or reset protection devices when appropriate

Safety First: Always switch off the machine before inspection. Electrical work should be performed by a qualified technician.

Follow our troubleshooting series for practical tips to keep your vacuum packaging equipment running smoothly!

Chamber Vacuum Sealer vs. External Vacuum Sealer - Which One Is Right for You?

Not all vacuum sealers are designed for the same job.

A chamber vacuum sealer offers stronger, more consistent vacuum performance and is ideal for commercial operations, high-volume packaging, liquids, marinades, meats, prepared foods, and other moisture-rich products.

An external vacuum sealer is more compact and affordable, making it suitable for home kitchens and smaller-scale, occasional packaging needs.

-Chamber Sealer: Commercial use • Stronger vacuum • Liquids & moist foods • High-volume packaging

-External Sealer: Compact • Lower cost • Everyday home use • Dry foods & smaller jobs

So, which one fits your operation?

Read the full comparison to understand the key differences and choose the right vacuum sealer for your needs:

Choosing the right commercial vacuum sealer bag is about more than size or thickness.

A bag that works well for boneless beef may not be the right choice for bone-in meat, seafood, prepared meals, frozen foods, or industrial parts.

In our latest guide, we cover the key factors businesses should consider when selecting commercial vacuum bags, including:

• Product size, shape & weight
• Puncture and abrasion risk
• Moisture and liquids
• Freezing and storage conditions
• Bag thickness and material
• Chamber vacuum sealer compatibility
• Seal quality and bag size
• Handling, transportation & production volume

Whether you are packaging meat, seafood, ready-to-eat foods, restaurant ingredients, or industrial components, the right bag should match the entire packaging process not just the product.

Read the full guide to learn how to choose the right commercial vacuum sealer bags for your application.

Vacuum-Sealing vs. Cling Film: Which Keeps Cheese & Deli Meats Fresher?

Cling film is convenient for short-term coverage but when commercial food businesses need better package integrity, reduced oxygen exposure, consistent sealing, and improved product protection, vacuum packaging offers a different level of control.

From cheese and sliced deli meats to cold cuts and prepared foods, choosing the right packaging method depends on your product, storage conditions, production volume, and packaging goals.

In our latest blog, we break down:

• Vacuum sealing vs. cling film
• How oxygen affects cheese and deli meats
• Vacuum packaging and refrigerated storage
• Commercial packaging consistency
• Choosing the right vacuum pouch
• Chamber vacuum sealer options for delis and food processors
• What vacuum packaging can—and cannot—do for shelf life

Custom Heat Sealing for Specialized Medical Applications

Not every medical manufacturing application can be handled with a standard heat sealer.

For specialized products such as surgical robotic covers and medical-grade protective drapes, manufacturers may require precision sealing, cutting, forming, and application-specific tooling.

Promarks Heat Seal Division developed a custom heat sealing and cutting system for Ecolab’s Da Vinci surgical drape application, using precision heated die tooling to create the required seal and product profile.

* Precision heat sealing
* Custom die tooling
* Integrated sealing & cutting
* Application-specific machine controls
* Operator safety systems

Whether you need to seal medical films, produce custom-shaped components, or integrate sealing and cutting into one production process, Promarks can engineer a solution around your specific requirements.

Product movement. Liquid around the seal. Air pockets. Wrinkles. Leaks.

These are some of the problems that can turn a good-looking vacuum skin package into a production headache.

The solution isn't always "increase the vacuum."

Skin packaging quality depends on the entire process from product positioning and film selection to forming, vacuum evacuation and seal integrity.

Our new guide breaks down the most common vacuum skin packaging problems and practical ways to troubleshoot them.

Why use a hot water shrink tank after vacuum packaging?
Vacuum packaging removes air, but the job doesn’t always end there. Loose or wrinkled film can affect the final appearance of your package.
A hot water shrink tank helps shrink compatible vacuum shrink film tightly around the product, creating a cleaner, tighter, more professional package.

In our latest blog, we explain:
✔️ How hot water shrinking works
✔️ Why vacuum shrink film matters
✔️ Key benefits of the shrinking process
✔️ Common food packaging applications
✔️ How the Promarks ST-68 fits into the process

How Does a Heat Sealer Work?

A heat sealer does more than simply close a plastic bag. Temperature, pressure, and sealing time all work together to create a consistent, secure seal.

But what actually happens during the heat sealing process? And what's the difference between an impulse heat sealer, continuous band sealer, and industrial heat sealing machine?

Our latest guide breaks down how heat sealing works, common applications, different types of sealers, common sealing problems, and how to choose the right equipment for your packaging operation.
