Commercial Product Overview

Best for operators who need faster prep, cleaner workflow, and consistent daily production.

EFI VS-CH-16 is the high-capacity chamber model in this five-machine group, combining a 16.1-inch (410 mm) seal bar with a 16.1 W x 17.8 D x 4 H-inch chamber. Published specifications identify twin 3.5 mm sealing wires, a stainless steel body, transparent lid and digital vacuum, sealing and marinating controls. The larger 19.3 W x 21.7 D x 17.7 H-inch chassis weighs approximately 97 lb and is rated at 110 V, 60 Hz, 1100 W with a NEMA 5-15P plug.

Operational Fit

Ideal Use Case

Specify VS-CH-16 for commissaries, butcher shops, institutional kitchens and production restaurants sealing broad cuts, multiple smaller portions or larger sous-vide packages. The 4-inch chamber height gives more room for thicker filled bags than the two smaller chamber models, while the 16.1-inch bar supports wide openings. This capacity is useful when a narrow seal line creates repeated handling, but it should be paired with a dedicated support location because the machine's 97 lb weight makes casual counter-to-counter movement impractical.

Buying Tips

Reduce ordering risk before checkout

Fit check: Width: 19.3 in • Depth: 21.7 in • Height: 17.7 in • Weight: 97 lb

Treat this as a dedicated production machine. Confirm that a filled 410 mm pouch fits within the 16.1 x 17.8 x 4-inch chamber and remains below the lid contour, then map space for the 19.3 W x 21.7 D-inch body and open lid. Use a stable stand rated beyond the published 97 lb machine weight and keep the service side accessible. Verify the 110 V, 1100 W nameplate and circuit. Train staff to inspect both seal lines, keep the mouth clean and apply refrigerated or frozen storage controls after packaging.

Why Buy From Us

Continental Restaurant Equipment can help a Canadian production kitchen determine whether VS-CH-16's added package width and chamber volume justify its larger footprint, weight and electrical load. Reviewing sample bags, batch flow, receiving access and the final support surface together produces a much better decision than sizing only by seal-bar length. The team can also confirm the current twin-wire configuration, certifications and warranty documents before the purchase is finalized.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the largest published bag-opening width for VS-CH-16?

The sealing bar is approximately 16.1 inches (410 mm) long. The loaded pouch must also fit the 16.1 x 17.8 x 4-inch chamber, so seal-bar length alone does not guarantee package compatibility.

Why does the VS-CH-16 use two sealing wires?

Published specifications identify twin 3.5 mm wires, creating two seal lines across the pouch. Correct time, clean pouch material and proper placement are still essential; a double line cannot compensate for grease, folds or an incompatible bag.

Can the 97 lb VS-CH-16 sit on a normal prep counter?

Only if the counter or equipment stand is stable, level, sanitary and rated for the machine plus operating loads. Also allow lid clearance, ventilation, cord routing and safe lifting or service access.

Does a stronger chamber vacuum guarantee a longer safe shelf life?

No fixed shelf-life claim applies to every food. Results depend on ingredients, initial contamination, process controls and storage temperature. Establish shelf life through an approved food-safety programme and maintain the cold chain.
