How To Adjust Lid Spring Assembly (610-42): JVR Vac610 – Dual Chamber Vacuum Sealer
“Our team here at JVR Industries takes pride in having more than 50 years of experience…“
Looking to adjust the lid spring assembly on your Vac610? Thankfully, lid spring maintenance for your dual chamber vacuum sealer is extremely simple. Continue reading below to follow along with these quick and easy steps on lid spring adjustment!
Notice your JVR Vac610 lid slamming down or resting too high off the deck? Finding resistance when lifting the lid? It may be time to adjust the lid springs. Our team here at JVR Industries takes pride in having more than 50 years of experience, and one of our service technicians would be more than happy to help you. You can contact us by email at service@jvrinc.com or by phone at 716-206-2500.
Tools And Materials Needed
#2 Phillips Screwdriver
Two 14mm wrenches, preferably one thin
Time Required
Estimated to be about a 15-30 minute process
Precautions
Make sure your Vac610 is in a clean, open environment before servicing.
Power off your unit and disconnect from the power supply.
Steps To Adjust the Lid Spring Assembly in Your Chamber Sealer
Remove the Front Panel
1. Disconnect the four screws attaching the front panel of your Vac610. These are located in the four corners of the top panel.
2. Gently lift up and out, removing the front panel.
3. Once removed, disconnet the hose attached to the vacuum gauge on the front panel.
4. Place the front panel slightly off to the side, being mindful of the wires attaching it to the body of the machine.
The Lid Springs
5. Next, focus your attention to the tops of the lid springs. You will see two sets of two nuts attached to the top of each spring.
6. Take your thin 14mm wrench and hold the lower nut in place while using the other wrench to loosen the top nut. Do this for both sets of nuts on the spring.
7. Repeat on the other spring.
Making Adjustments
8. Now you can make adjustments based on your Vac610’s needs. To reduce tension in your springs (reduce lid lift), rotate the lower nuts on each spring counterclockwise. To increase the tension in your springs (increase lid lift), rotate the lower nuts on each spring clockwise.
9. Whatever actions you take on one set of two nuts, be sure to do to the other set on the spring.
10. Repeat on opposite spring.
11. Adjust until desired result: upon pressing lid down, lid then lifts slightly off of machine about one and a half to two inches. You should hear a click from the lid switch in the back as the lid lifts up off of the deck.
Finishing Up
12. Once you’ve properly adjusted the springs, retighten the top nuts on each spring. Hold the lower nut still with the thin 14mm wrench and tighten the top nut down with your other 14mm wrench.
13. After you’ve tightened the top nuts down, retest the lid by closing it on one side, then the other.
14. Reattach hose to vacuum gauge on the back of the front panel.
15. Carefully reinsert front panel and screw it back into place. Enjoy your now smoothly functioning chamber vac!

The History and Service of JVR Industries: Vacuum Packaging Specialists Since 1972!
“Our business’ mission was and still is, ‘To build relationships with each of our customers by providing quality products and services at a reasonable cost.‘”
We want to share a little bit about how JVR Industries came into existence! JVR Industries was established in Western New York as a local sales and service provider of vacuum packaging equipment and supplies. Originally, our customers were primarily in the meat and poultry market. Today, we’ve extended our reach to numerous other types of businesses as well, such as apparel, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.
Our business’ mission was and still is, “To build relationships with each of our customers by providing quality products and services at a reasonable cost.” We believe that over the past 50 years, our success can be accredited to our desire and ability to do just that.
JVR Industries has grown from humble beginnings. Starting in the home of John Victor Radziwon, JVR Industries developed into a powerhouse of partnerships. We’ve had the opportunity to work with renowned national and international companies such as Laco-vac, Busch, Sipromac, Promarks, and many others. We’ve made strong, lasting relationships with these companies. Over our 50+ year journey, we’ve not only distributed top tier products, but established a nationwide network of distributors.
In 1998, we took our first step into product development with the JVR Vac300 and Vac400, which became the precursor to our renowned VacSeries. Our dedication to quality and service has earned us the trust of esteemed clients. To name a few: Kodak, NASA, Lincoln Electric, Tesla, the U.S. Department of Defense, and meat labs at various universities across the U.S. From supporting industry giants to empowering small business and consumers, JVR Industries continues to innovate, elevating standards across the board.
Our Exceptional Service Department
Our service department boasts extensive experience handling a wide range of equipment. From tray sealers to patty makers, brine injectors, chamber vacuum sealers, and beyond, we’ve got your back. We even specialize in refurbishing Busch vacuum pumps. A prime example of our expertise involves one loyal customer who still owns a 30+ year old Laco-vac unit. This machine continues to perform flawlessly, even after 30 years of service.
We pride ourselves on delivering unparalleled customer support, a commitment we extend throughout our JVR VacSeries line. Our techinical assistance is provided via direct, non-automated telephone services, and it’s completely complementary. Additionally, we offer a growing library of support videos on YouTube for our VacSeries line. When it comes to replacing parts, we ensure same day diagnosis and shipping, so you can get back up and running without delay.
The VacSeries Line
In 1998, the gateway units to our esteemed JVR VacSeries – the JVR Vac300 and Vac400 – were launched, setting the stage for subsequent models. While remarkable in their time, these units should not be confused with our latest versions: the Vac310 and the Vac410.
We soon decided to partner with a reputable Canadian vacuum packaging company, allowing us to extend our reach. We offer these units for resale under the umbrella of JVR Industries. This collaboration serves as a precursor to the diverse range of more than ten models that comprise our current JVR VacSeries lineup.
Fast forward to 2020, the year we introduced our exceptional JVR VacSeries line. The JVR Vac100 spearheaded this launch, embodying our commitment to delivering top notch performance within an economical framework. Following closely behind, the JVR Vac110 further fortified our product range, laying a solid foundation for future models.
The overarching goal of the JVR VacSeries remains clear. We aim to provide commercial-grade chamber vacuum sealers and related equipment at an accessible price point. We accomplish this in two ways. Number one, minimize repair cost. Number two, maximize operational efficiency for our commercial clientele.
Each model within the VacSeries has undergone thorough refinement to achieve a premium propietary design. Rigorous quality inspections and testing procedures ensure that every unit leaving our facility reaches the highest standards. Once in the hands of our customers, they benefit from seamless access to replacement parts online, comprehensive walkthrough videos for troubleshooting, and expert technical assistance.
Our committment to customer satisfaction is unmatched, with access to premium technical support at the cost of an economy line unit. We redefine the standard for customer servcie in our industry.
Experience the difference with the JVR VacSeries, where quality meets affordability, and customer support sets the bar high.
Rebuilding Rollstock Machines
In 2015, we began rebuilding rollstock vacuum packaging equipment. With decades of experience working on vacuum sealers and pumps, we saw this as a natural progression. This helped further establish our goal of becoming the go-to company for vacuum packaging equipment and supplies.
Our next move as a company felt like a natural, easy decision. After working hands-on with various manufactured machines like Multivac, Alma, Tiromat, and VC999, one USA based brand had truly garnered our attention. Rollstock Inc. products, manufactured in the U.S., became our new focus.
Eight years after installing our first rebuilt rollstock, we made the choice to open a second location to handle the increased demand. Located 20 miles north of our headquarters, our new location would solely be dedicated to rebuilding machines and manufacturing replacement parts and tools.
Having the capability to manufacture in-house provides us with a new level of independence, reducing our reliance on third party machine shops. Every JVR certified rebuild is stripped down to the frame and rebuilt to standards that exceed our customers expectations.
We fully recondition the frames and components deemed non-wearable. By doing this, we can provide our customers with machine reliability at a price they can afford. Our experienced technicians provide installation and training to ensure our customers are equipped with the knowledge they need for trouble-free operation. Every rebuilt machine is sold with a warrantee, so our customers can feel confident with their purchase decision.
Our Company Values
Since our establishment in 1972, our core committment remains unchanged: to excel in customer service while offerieng an expansive array of top tier vacuum packaging units and supplies. We are dedicated to staying at the forefront of innovation, continuously introducing new technologies to meet the ever-changing demands of our customers.

How To Calibrate The Digital Vacuum Gauge: JVR Vac100
“The ideal goal is to get your digital vacuum gauge to read .000 MPa at the end of the cycle…“
For all my OCD people out there, this is for you! Did you notice the digital vacuum gauge on your Vac100 was not reaching .000 MPa when at rest or not quite achieving the expected .096 – .100 MPa for a full cycle while you were packaging products? Not to worry! Although the gauge is for reference only, we also understand it could be misleading. So let’s get this cleared away!
A chamber vacuum sealer aims to eliminate the atmospheric pressure from the chamber to pull the air from the chamber pouches and promote longer shelf life for food storage. The digital vacuum gauge works to provide a display showing the difference in atmospheric pressure during a vacuum cycle. The unit for atmospheric pressure is megapascals (MPa).
During a full vacuum cycle, the rotary vane oil vacuum pump will pull up to 99.8% of the atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the vacuum gauge should read that it removed up to .096 – .100 MPa – about the average atmospheric pressure.
Determining When to Calibrate Your Vacuum Gauge
Calibrating the digital vacuum gauge is simply a preference and is not a critical process that will have an effect on the amount of vacuum pulled. In other words, if the gauge is not reading properly, this does not necessarily imply the pump is malfunctioning.
Here’s an example. You have an old scale that reads 5 lbs. with no weight applied. You go to measure your weight on the scale, and it reads 155 lbs. Although you weigh 150 lbs. the scale is still reading a correct difference from the starting point at 5 lbs.
In the same way, the gauge could read less than .096 MPa during the vacuum cycle, but this does not mean it is pulling less air. Each unit is tested in-house, ensuring that it pulls the maximum air with a gauge that appropriately matches this measurement.
Goal of Calibrating
The ideal goal is to get your digital vacuum gauge to read .000 MPa at the end of the cycle or at rest and achieve the upper limit of .096 – .100 MPa during the vacuum cycle.
This can be achieved using the secondary settings menu. This menu is for the sole purpose of calibrating your digital gauge for anyone who would rather see the proper numbers displayed.
Steps to Calibrate
1. Access the secondary settings menu by holding down the SETTINGS button for up to 5 seconds – you should hear a beep.
2. Select the INCREASE or DECREASE arrows to achieve .000 MPa.
Example: If the gauge is reading .001 MPa, then select the decrease arrow in the secondary settings menu once.
3. Hit STOP to exit the secondary settings menu.
4. Run a test cycle.
5. If needed, repeat steps 1-4 to make any necessary adjustments.

“change the vacuum pump oil to keep that vacuum pump, the heart of your Vac100, performing optimally for years to come!”
In addition to providing unmatched vacuum sealing services, the Vac100 chamber vacuum sealer is manufactured for self serviceability. No need to bring it to a mechanic just to perform a simple task you can do on your own at your convenience saving you money and time! When you go to purchase this chamber sealer, you are also opening up the doors to easy maintenance and personable service. Today, we will go over how to change the vacuum pump oil to keep that vacuum pump, the heart of your Vac100, performing optimally for years to come!
The JVR Industries VacSeries line is purposefully constructed with an oil pump as opposed to a dry piston pump found in many other vacuum sealers. Due to these oil vacuum pumps, the VacSeries chamber vacs offer tens of years of service with close to a full vacuum draw of 99.8%. Imagine this vacuum seal effectiveness as opposed to an average of one year offered by dry piston pumps with a vacuum draw of 80% using external vacuum sealers.
To get the maximum years from your vacuum sealer at optimal functioning, your JVR Vac100 will require proper maintenance. Although this is the case, the benefits of the oil pump will outweigh the few minutes you need to set aside for maintenance without a doubt!
Just like a car, if the oil is not changed after a certain amount of run time, you will notice a faster decline plus less effective vacuum sealing including a decrease in vacuum draw without setting changes.
How Often Should You Change the Vacuum Pump Oil?
Due to the importance of the oil pump to the JVR Vac machines, one of the most popular questions we get is “How often do I change the oil in my chamber sealer?” The recommendations are based on the expert advice offered by our professionals who have worked on chamber vacuum sealers for over 20 years!
Initial oil change should occur after 3 months or 150 hours of use following the purchase of the Vac100 chamber vac.
All following oil changes should take place every 6 months or after about 500 hours of use.
About VacOil
The VacOil-#22 is a JVR premium food-grade vacuum oil formulated to provide your chamber vacuum sealer with maximum performance and protection.
The complete process will take about 10-15 minutes.
Steps to Replacing the Vacuum Pump Oil
CAUTION: Ensure the filler board plates are removed from the chamber before you begin.
Prepping the Vac100
1. Run a full 99 second vacuum cycle. Why? This gets the pump warmed up to reduce the oil viscosity making the oil thinner, maximizing drainage, and leaving the least amount of residue.
2. Select the POWER button on the Control Panel AND the POWER switch on the back of the unit.
3. Unplug the IEC cable from the back of the unit.
4. Remove the three screws securing the unit body using the Allen Key (3mm).
5. Lift the external body and use your thumb to secure the hinge mechanism to lock it in place.
Draining the Oil
6. Bring the unit to the edge of the table
7. SLOWLY unscrew the oil drain plug found on the vacuum pump using the Allen key (5mm).
8. Use your finger to pull it out the rest of the way. Be careful, the oil is going to be pretty warm
9. Tilt the unit so that all of the oil is expelled.
10. Reinstall the oil drain plug using the Allen key (5mm); DO NOT over-tighten.
Filling the Oil Pump
11. Unscrew the vacuum pump cap.
12. Drop the funnel into the fill cap.
13. Fill the pump ½ – ¾ full with VacOil-#22 via the funnel; you can see the level through the eyesight glass.
14. Screw the vacuum pump cap back onto the pump.
15. Close the external body, but do not apply the screws quite yet!
16. Run a full 99-second vacuum cycle to get the oil to the desired viscosity for optimal functioning.
17. Lift the external body to check the oil level, as you may have to top it off after running it through the pump.
18. Close the body and screw the three secure screws back on.
YOU ARE ALL SET!

“…we’re going to turn a seafood favorite into an All-American entrée.”
Looking for something new to try for dinner this week? Or maybe you’re looking for something different to try out on your chamber vacuum packing machine. Either way, you’re in the right place. Whether you prefer to harvest your own salmon or buy at your local grocery store, we’re going to turn a seafood favorite into an All-American entrée. Salmon burgers are a creative and healthy food choice, especially if you’re a meat and seafood lover looking to vary up your protein source. The Best Salmon Burger Series from Fish Alaska Magazine has our mouths watering as we follow their delicious salmon burger recipe.
2.5 lbs wild Alaska sockeye salmon, thawed and ground or finely chopped
1 large red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
½ red onion, chopped
Zest of 2 lemons
Juice of 1 lemon
3 tbsp prepared horseradish or ½ cup fresh grated horseradish root
1 cup panko breadcrumbs (or unsweetened coconut flakes for a whole-foods version), plus ¼ cup reserved for coating
2 eggs
Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients (except reserved panko or coconut flakes).
Form into patties and lay flat on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Freeze until solid, then vacuum seal in batches.
When ready to cook, thaw patties and coat each with reserved panko or coconut.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with avocado oil.
Sear burgers for 1–2 minutes per side to develop a golden crust, then reduce heat and cook 1–2 more minutes per side.
Let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
How to Keep Your Leftovers Fresh
You never have to worry about wasting food when it comes to JVR’s chamber vacuum sealing machines. In Fish Alaska Magazine’s Best Salmon Burger Series video, you’ll notice Melissa using a Vac110 chamber vacuum sealing machine to vacuum seal her extra salmon burgers. She takes her leftover burgers and places them in vacuum-sealing pouches. Then, with her preferred machine settings, she places the edge of her pouches over the seal bar, one at a time, and closes the lid until it suctions closed. The rest is effortless–stand back and watch the sealing come to life. No more plastic wrap or plastic bags when you can vacuum pack your leftovers and have sealed bags with longer shelf life! The possibilities are endless…(smoked fish, smoked salmon, tuna, fillets, and the list goes on!).
More on the Vac110
The Vac110 is a chamber vacuum sealer that can handle various amounts of volume. It features an oil pump that enables the machine to extract the maximum amount of air from each package during vacuum packing, helping preserve freshness and quality. You’ll never use another ziploc bag again!
Vac100 & Vac110 Efficiency Comparison
The difference between these machines is quite simple: the Vac100 focuses on convenience, offering external sealing capabilities, while the Vac110 emphasizes power, with a flow rate that’s twice as high. The Vac110 uses one-third horsepower to deliver faster performance. If you’re looking for efficiency, speed, and the ability to seal large quantities of meat, vegetables, and more, the Vac110 is your best choice.
Bonus Tips: Vacuum Sealing Liquids and Marinades
If you’re looking to enhance the flavor of your food, whether it’s fish or another type of meat, using a vacuum sealing machine to marinade your food or seal liquids for future marinades will give you the results you desire. For more in-depth information, check out our article on this topic.

How to Replace Your Vacuum Pump (310-30, 310-31, RVS20-110): JVR Vac310
“The Vac310 replacement vacuum pump (310-30, 310-31, RVS20-110) is a high-performing 20m3/h oil lubricated rotary vane pump…”
With the ultimate vacuum pump in combination with a superior sealing bar, you are set for an undeniably successful vacuum packaging outcome with your Vac310. But what if your vacuum pump so happens to cease functioning due to a leak or other problem? Today, we will go over how exactly to replace your vacuum pump if it happens to crash. Keep your unit up and running with the necessary material without having to purchase a whole new chamber sealer.
The vacuum pump is the heart of the chamber vacuum sealer. But two majorly different vacuum pumps exist within the vacuum packaging world – a dry piston pump used in Foodsaver-style external sealers and many chamber sealers, and then a rotary vane oil pump proudly housed in our VacSeries models. Here’s a summary of how oil pumps stand out in this industry.
Optimal Air Removal: The rotary vane oil pump construction allows for optimal air removal from vacuum pouch bags. By removing up to 99.8% of air, this feature provides higher freezer burn prevention, more successful marinating and sous vide cooking, ultimate effectiveness in preserving freshness and flavor, and extended shelf life.
Sound Volume: Chamber sealers housing oil pumps are about 20 dB quieter than those housing dry piston pumps. Prevent hearing damage from unnecessary noise and operate with a softer volume that does not interrupt your workflow. This is especially convenient when you are expecting phone calls!
Extended Life-Span: Many companies advertise the dry piston pumps as maintenance-free for simplicity. This holds true for any frozen or dry goods, but once you begin to dip your toes into vacuum sealing moist foods, liquids such as soup or even small amounts of meat juices can get sucked into the pump, causing it to fail. This is a major component that sets the oil pump apart from the dry piston pump. The oil within the pump is a method that gives it the ability to keep the oil separate, eliminating this as a factor.
The Replacement Vacuum Pump
The Vac310 replacement vacuum pump (310-30, 310-31, RVS20-110) is a high-performing 20m3/h oil lubricated rotary vane pump. Arrives already equipped with the electrical wire ends to power it up.
ATTENTION: Vacuum pump oil is provided in the packaging to fill the new pump at the end of the replacement process.
Tools Needed
3mm Allen Key
Short #2 Phillips Screwdriver (long works too)
12 mm Wrench
Steps to Replace the Vac310 Vacuum Pump
Disassembling the Vac310
1. Disconnect the Vac310 power source.
2. Rotate the machine so that the back is facing towards you.
3. Prop the back feet up on wood blocks to access the bottom of the unit.
4. Use the 3mm Allen key to remove the back panel.
Removing the Old Vacuum Pump
5. Using the 12 mm wrench, remove the three nuts on the underside of the unit that secure the pump to the floor (one is located in front of the first bracket, and two are positioned between the two brackets).
6. Remove the wood blocks propping up the vacuum sealer.
7. Lift up the vacuum pump from its holder and bring towards you to expose the connections.
8. Disconnect the clear vacuum by loosening the hose clamp with the #2 Phillips (silicone is optional for the replacement process).
9. Disconnect the electrical wires from the contactor by loosening the screws inside the divots with the #2 Phillips.
10. Pull out the pump completely and turn it on its side to unscrew the 3 feet from the bottom. These will be used for the replacement pump.
11. Set the pump to the side.
Installing the Replacement Vacuum Pump
12. Retrieve the new vacuum pump. DO NOT ADD OIL YET.
13. Install the 3 feet from the last pump. The longer foot gets installed under the exhaust box, and the two shorter, identical ones under the pump.
14. Secure the two electrical wires to the contactor. Slide each end of the wire under the U-shaped metal plates. The color order does not matter, as long as they are secured in the two middle slots of the contactor. You can loosen the screws if the space is too narrow.
15. Tighten the screws until the wires are secure. Tug to test.
16. Reinstall the vacuum hose and secure the hose clamp with the #2 Phillips.
NOTE: Hose clamps can be picked up at a local auto parts store for cheap if yours just so happens to break.
17. Lift the vacuum pump into the interior of the unit.
CAUTION: BE CAREFUL OF SCRATCHING OR CATCHING ON OTHER PARTS. MAKE SURE ALL WIRES DO NOT GET CAUGHT BEHIND OR CRUSHED UNDER THE PUMP.
18. Inch the pump back until it falls into place.
19. Prop up the back unit feet on the blocks.
20. Screw on the 3 nuts to secure the pump feet to the floor using the 12 mm wrench.
Reassembling the Vac310
21. Grab the bottle of vacuum pump oil that arrived with the replacement pump.
22. Remove the oil fill cap on the pump (grey or red).
23. Use the funnel to add the oil until the sight glass shows the pump is 1/2 – 2/3 full.
24. Screw on the oil fill cap.
25. Secure the back panel using the 3mm Allen key.
