Abstract (en)

The invention concerns a device to form a vacuum in flexible containers such as bags or rigid containers such as vessels or canisters, for vacuum-packed products. It comprises a plate or tray base and an upper body separably connected and where the upper body encloses a suction group, contains a heat sealing bar and means for commanding the functions of the device and is movable between a raised open position and a lowered closed position of the device. The plate or tray base (21) has at least a positioning or guide means (28, 39) of the mouth of said flexible container, means (36, 38) interacting with a seal (32) on the lower face of the upper body (22) forming a suction chamber (35), and a profiled seal (27) mating with the heat sealing bar (31) of said upper body when the device is closed.
