Zenith 43 Vacuum packing machine

Zenith 43 – Chamber Vacuum Sealer

Zenith 43 is part of Besser Vacuum's Touch Line, the manufacturer's most advanced range of chamber vacuum sealers, positioned above Fusion and Expert for professionals who want guided, touchscreen-driven operation for both preservation and sous-vide cooking. Precision and versatility define this line: every operation can be carried out in just three simple steps.

Key highlights

• 7" touchscreen – with animated icons and an intuitive interface, offering immediate, accurate control and ease of use unmatched by the button/dial interfaces of other lines.
• Self-diagnostics – continuously monitors the machine's operation, with built-in maintenance functions, real-time updates, and direct support for long-term operational reliability.
• Guided functions – step-by-step guided processes for marinating, infusing, and cleaning shellfish, improving raw material yield while reducing processing time. Additional features like tray and jar vacuum, degassing, and tenderising further optimise workflows.
• Manual operation – adjust the vacuum level, activate delicate functions such as soft vacuum and liquid control, and set gas percentage and soft air, all through a single control that preserves traditional vacuum machine operation alongside the guided modes.
• Storage and sous-vide, in 3 steps – a set of predefined programmes delivers high-quality results in both food preservation and low-temperature sous-vide cooking for professional environments.
• Soft vacuum and liquid control (included) – gentle vacuum management protects delicate products and prevents spills.
• Soft Air (included) – standard on Zenith 43, ensuring comfort and control at every stage of the process, alongside silent operation.
• Vacuum sensor (included) – supports precise, electronically monitored control over the vacuum cycle.
• Powerful pump – an oil-lubricated Busch® pump (20 m³/h, with 25 m³/h available) for a fast, deep, and reliable vacuum.

Design and durability

The inner chamber is pressed and rounded from a single piece of AISI 304 stainless steel, with no joints or welds on the walls, simplifying cleaning and extending durability. The body features a tilting AISI 304 stainless steel construction, welds wider than typical market standards (5 mm), a wireless welding bar, and a moulded, rounded basin. A dedicated maintenance programme runs 10 consecutive vacuum cycles to break down residues inside the pump and improve oil flow, reducing energy consumption and extending the pump's service life.

Customisation options

• Double sealing bar – two parallel sealing lines for a stronger, more reliable closure, ideal for intensive use and foods containing liquids.
• Trim cutting bar – automatically trims excess bag material after sealing, for a cleaner, more professional finish and less waste.
• Gas flush (MAP) – injects a protective gas mixture to extend the shelf life of fresh, delicate, or highly perishable products.
• Inclined tray for liquids – prevents liquids or moisture from being drawn into the oil-bath pump, protecting performance and extending machine life.

Compatible accessories

• Gastronorm trays and vacuum hose – three models (100, 150 or 200 litres), fully stainless steel, with airtight-gasket lids and a pressure-release valve that keep food fresh up to four times longer; capacities from 5.8 to 28.4 litres, reaching 99% vacuum with the optional connecting tube.

What it's for

Zenith 43 is the top choice for professional kitchens and food businesses that want touchscreen simplicity combined with guided, high-precision processes — marination, infusion, shellfish cleaning, sous-vide cooking — without sacrificing the manual control and liquid-sealing capability expected of a full chamber machine.
