Lavezzini LAX 250, professional vacuum that fits on the counter
The LAX 250 is the entry model in the Lavezzini Automatic Line, and it does what a real chamber machine should: it removes the air from the whole chamber instead of through the bag opening. That means you can pack stock, marinade and juicy meat without worrying about liquid reaching the pump. It measures only 36 x 42 cm, so it barely takes any counter space, yet the 8 m³/h oil pump gives the same vacuum quality as much larger machines.

The machine is operated from a clear colour display, and you can store up to five programmes of your own for the products you pack most often. Auto start means the cycle begins when the lid closes, so nobody has to work through menus for every single bag. The body is stainless steel and the chamber measures 260 x 300 x 120 mm, taking bags up to 25 cm wide. This is the machine for the smaller restaurant, the deli counter or the commercial kitchen that needs professional vacuum without giving up half the worktop.
Chill the food to fridge temperature before you vacuum it. Inside a chamber the pressure drops so low that lukewarm stock, sauce or juicy meat starts to boil and foams over the bag edge, and you will never get a clean seal. Cold food does not boil, and the seal closes first time.
A chamber machine needs smooth bags, not textured ones. The channels in textured bags are made for external suction sealers and do nothing inside a chamber. See smooth vacuum bags here.
Features
- True chamber vacuum: Air is removed from the whole chamber, not through the bag opening. That is why you can pack soups, stock, marinades and juicy meat without drawing liquid into the pump.
- Fully automatic cycle: Auto start begins the moment you close the lid. Vacuum, seal and return to atmospheric pressure are all handled by the machine.
- Five custom programmes: Store the settings for the products you pack most often, so every pack looks the same no matter who is operating the machine.
- One Touch System: Keeps the chamber easy to clean and takes the strain off the lid gas spring.
- Clean Pump: A maintenance programme that warms the oil and drives out moisture and contaminants. Run regularly it adds considerable life to the pump.
- Stainless steel body: Built in stainless steel for daily use in commercial kitchens.
How to use
- Place the product in a smooth vacuum bag and lay the bag in the chamber with the opening flat across the sealing bar.
- Select a programme, or set vacuum time and seal time manually on the colour display.
- Close the lid. Auto start runs the cycle without any further input.
- The machine draws the vacuum, seals the bag and lets air back into the chamber. The lid opens by itself.
- Run Clean Pump regularly, and more often during periods of heavy wet packing.

FAQ Frequently asked questions
How wide a bag can I use?
The sealing bar is 250 mm, so bags up to 25 cm wide fit comfortably. Length is limited by the chamber depth of 300 mm.
Why smooth bags and not textured ones?
The channels in textured bags carry air out through the bag opening, which is only needed in external suction sealers. In a chamber the air is removed all around the bag, so smooth bags give both a tighter pack and a lower cost per bag.
Can I pack soup and sauce?
Yes, that is exactly why you buy a chamber machine. Chill the liquid well first, fill the bag no more than half way and keep the bag edge dry where the seal will be.
What does Clean Pump do?
The programme heats the pump oil so moisture evaporates and contaminants are collected. Moisture in the oil is the most common reason an oil pump loses vacuum performance.
Do I need a special power supply?
No. The machine runs from a standard 230 V socket and draws 0.75 kW.
