Scientific & Industrial

Over the past three years Lava machines have been used in many industries to vacuum pack a variety of components and goods. If you are looking to protect components or products from moisture, oxidisation or contamination and, in some cases, extend shelf life, vacuum packing is the way to go. Lava now also produce a range of ESD bags used in the electrical industry to protect components from static electricity.



Our machines have been used to pack everything from Formula One racing components, optical lenses, welding rods and many other unusual applications. We have also supplied the medical industry and Police force with machines to pack sterilised equipment and legal evidence to prevent them from being tampered with.

Our machines incorporate many unique design features and are very easy to use. Unlike capsule machines our machines are compact and are not restricted by bag length. Even large components can be vacuum packed.

If you would like to discuss your particular requirements please do not hesitate to contact us for advise. We can even vacuum pack a sample for you or even produce a specific bag size for your requirements.
