“The JVR Vac100 chamber vacuum sealer is capable of providing years of unmatched vacuum packaging services…”
Everyone has their unique vacuum packaging purposes with many variables to consider – Are you looking to vacuum seal mason jars for pantry storage or retort bags for on-the-go meals? Will you be vacuum packaging frequently where having replacement parts at hand is vital? Will you be packaging bone-in meat? The list goes on. The JVR Vac100 buyer’s guide will provide a description of the replacement parts necessary to maintain your vacuum sealer, equipment to enhance the overall vacuum packaging experience, and accessories to expand your opportunities.
Vac100 Equipment
Cover
Looking to protect your Vac100 from particles and dust? Consider a cover designed with a sleek appearance that fits your Vac100 perfectly. The cover is easy to apply and remove while still providing full coverage. Additionally, the material is durable with adequate puncture resistance that will withstand wear and tear over time.
Filler Plates
Will you be packaging low-profile foods such as bacon or sausage links?
Save Time: Filler plates take up the excess space within the chamber when vacuum sealing low-profile foods so that less air needs pulled. This means you can decrease the vacuum cycle time and still produce the same results!
Save Money: Filler plates lift the pouch level with the sealing bar so you can purchase smaller, cheaper pouches without worrying if the open end of the pouch will reach the seal bar.
Old Style to New Style Filler Plates!
Old Style Filler Plates: Our old style filler plates included round and rectangular-shaped, white filler plates. Although these saved up to 11 seconds during the vacuum cycle, they did not form to the chamber shape leaving noteworthy space along the edges. This led us to the conclusion that it is time for an upgrade!
New Style Filler Plates: With a new modern look, JVR Industries now carries three new form-fitting filler plates in black. These form-fitting filler plates take low-profile packaging to the next level and they do it with style! Forming filler plates imply that they form to the exact shape of the chamber leaving no space unoccupied. Believe it or not, with the maximum amount of filler plates applied you can save up to 19 seconds during a single vacuum cycle!
Retort Bar Assembly Option
A standard seal bar is automatically included upon purchase of the Vac100 chamber vacuum sealer. Constructed with a 6 mm wide heat strip, the standard seal bar adequately seals chamber vacuum pouches of all thicknesses.
A retort bar assembly seals the thicker retort or mylar bags with a 3.5 mm wide concave heat strip made to withstand the higher temperatures required to seal these bag types. Packaging using retort or mylar bags is an alternative to canning used to store tuna fish or pet food. The benefits of packaging poultry or other food this way include saving space in the pantry, easy on-the-go meals as it has a notch to tear above the seal, and a longer shelf life due to the 99.8% vacuum draw expected by the Vac100 with proper maintenance.
Replacement Parts
VacOil
Each of our VacSeries line chamber vacuum sealers is built to operate with unmatched durability and maximum vacuum draw – the key is in the oil pump (read more here). To maintain the oil pump and keep it running with optimal functioning, we recommend an oil change every 6 months following the initial oil change 3 months after receiving the machine. Order a quart of #22 vacuum pump oil (VacOil) or save by purchasing a full gallon. Easily change the oil on your own by watching this instructional video!
Vacuum Pump Exhaust Filter
Another replacement part essential for proper oil pump functioning is the vacuum pump exhaust filter. It ensures clean air enters and leaves the oil pump during the oil recycling process. We recommend replacing this part about once a year. The part is available at JVR Industries at a reasonable price. Watch this video demonstrating how you can replace the exhaust filter right from home!
JVR Vac100 Maintenance Pack
If you use your Vac100 chamber vacuum sealer frequently and vacuum seal packages in large quantities, you likely have little time to waste. The Vac100 maintenance pack is convenient to have at hand so you feel prepared for moments when a part needs replacing. As opposed to purchasing each part separately and adding up shipping costs, the maintenance pack provides an alternative at a deal by combining commonly bought replacement parts altogether saving you money and time!
The Vac100 maintenance pack (100-MP) includes: 1 quart of #22 VacOil, 2 seal bar tape, 1 seal heat strip, 1 seal cushion strip, 1 vacuum pump exhaust filter, and 1 lid chamber gasket (seamless).
Vac100 Chamber Vacuum Sealer Accessories
In addition to the purposeful construction for convenient counter use, the JVR Vac100 is also the most versatile of our chamber vacuum sealers as the only one of the VacSeries models with a chamber accessory port. Therefore, it works in conjunction with the 3-gallon chamber accessory, sealing hood, or canisters making it a convenient option for multiple applications. Take a look at the full list of Vac100 accessories available to make your kitchen and packaging tasks easier and maybe add a dash of humor with sqwaky!
Preset Sleeve: Save some brain space with this preset sleeve kit handy. Keep track of your preset programs for each product using this set that includes an adhesive sleeve to stick to the lid of your Vac100!
FoodSaver Conversion Hose: Do you have FoodSaver accessories from your previous vacuum sealer? We provide a Foodsaver conversion hose so you can continue to utilize these.
Wine Stopper: You’re in luck! With the purchase of the JVR Vac100, you get a free wine stopper. Keep your wine fresh for up to a month!
3 Gallon Chamber Accessory
This 3-gallon chamber accessory works in tandem with the Vac100 chamber vacuum sealer. It is paired with an accessory hose to connect to the Vac100 accessory port for applications such as marinating meat in a liquid brine, vacuum sealing large mason jars, or even vacuum infusing a week’s worth of cold brew coffee to jump-start your day! The chamber accessory can also function as a water bath for sous vide cooking steak after vacuum sealing it using the Vac100 chamber vacuum sealer!

VacLok Canisters
Looking for a quick and effective way to maintain the quality of your leftover foods like soups, vegetables, or fruits in the fridge? Or maybe you have pantry items like coffee beans or rice that would otherwise slowly lose taste and quality over time. We offer stainless steel canisters that connect to the accessory port of the Vac100 chamber vacuum sealer to apply a partial vacuum providing a solution to maintain the quality for just these situations!
NOTE: Although these stainless steel canisters allow a higher vacuum pull than our previous plastic canisters, do not pull full vacuum as the canister may explode or crack. We provide suggested cycle times on our website and in the canister packaging.
Chamber Vacuum Sealer Packaging Supplies
Chamber Vacuum Pouches (VacPouch)
The most common packaging supplies purchased with the Vac100 chamber vacuum sealer are chamber vacuum pouches. JVR Industries carries chamber pouches through the VacPouch line that provide superior puncture resistance and sealing properties at reasonable prices! VacPouch works perfectly in tandem with the Vac100 chamber vacuum sealer for all applications including vacuum sealing liquids and sous vide cooking (learn about the 6 benefits of VacPouch)!
Browse the wide variety of VacPouch sizes, thicknesses, and quantities. Find the combination that suits your packaging requirements with the Chamber Vacuum Pouch Buyer’s Guide.
Boneguard (VacGuard)
Do you package foods with sharp edges or bone-in meat? Rather than purchasing thicker chamber vacuum pouches, you can place one sheet of boneguard (VacGuard) over the sharp edge of the product before packaging it in the pouch. Now you can save by only having to purchase 3 mil bags while still accomplishing 9-13 mil over the sharp edges!
