Original spare part: blue silicone gasket for Orved vacuum packing machines, lip profile, dimensions 9x6 mm. Sold by the metre, it is supplied in the linear length requested so it can be cut to size according to the perimeter of the machine's chamber or lid.

This is the gasket that ensures the seal between the lid (bell) and the tank in chamber vacuum packing machines: compressing as the lid closes, it creates the adhesion needed to draw the vacuum correctly. The lip profile increases the contact surface and improves sealing compared with a plain bead, while the silicone provides elasticity and resistance to the high temperatures near the sealing bar.

Features:

• Material: silicone (blue colour)
• Profile: lip type, dimensions 9x6 mm
• Brand: Orved
• Sold by the metre (including 9x10h lip)

When to replace it: it should be changed when the machine struggles to reach the vacuum, takes longer than usual or no longer holds the vacuum. Typical signs of wear are a gasket that has hardened, become permanently flattened, cracked or cut. Periodic replacement and regular cleaning of the seat keep the packing cycle efficient.

Practical tip: before ordering, measure the linear length of the seat and check that your machine's profile matches 9x6 mm with lip.
