The combination of removing the product from
excess air along with freezing or refrigeration signifi-
cantly extends the overall shelf life of many fruits,
vegetables and herbs. When working with dehy-
drated products, such as dried culinary herbs, the
most important aspects of preservation are removing
as much oxygen as possible and keeping the product
away from other factors that will diminish its quality,
such as sunlight and heat. The folks at True Liberty ®
Bags have always been serious about preservation.
Their extensive line of various sized storage bags is
perfect for holding dried herbs, fruits, vegetables, or
just about anything else a gardener wants to preserve
or contain. In addition to their industrial quality line
of storage bags, True Liberty ® has created the ulti-
mate tool for long-term preservation: a vacuum sealer
that increases shelf life. Now gardeners can vacuum
seal any True Liberty ® Bag.
True Liberty ® Gas-Purge Vacuum Sealer
Consistent with the True Liberty ® brand, the
newly released True Liberty ® Vacs Gas-Purge Vacuum
Sealer is both industrial strength and of the highest
quality. The unit has an air compressor powered im-
pulse seal arm and retractable nozzle manufactured
to stand up to an industrial level production facility,
18
and works in just seconds compared to any standard
household vacuum sealer.
True Liberty ® Vacs first performs a gas purge,
and then extracts the air out of the bag, and finally,
the heat impulse sealer creates an airtight seal for
long-term storage. The gas-purging feature removes
oxygen in exchange for an inert gas of the gar-
dener’s choice, for example, argon or nitrogen. The
unit comes complete with a vacuum filter to ensure
the vacuum pump remains free of any dirt or de-
bris. Once the machine is finished purging the air
and inert gas from the bag, the nozzle retracts and a
grower is left with a leak-proof, 1/4" wide seal. The
True Liberty ® Vacuum Sealer removes all the oxygen
that would otherwise deteriorate a gardener’s prod-
uct over time. Removing the oxygen from the storage
container will greatly increase its shelf life and will
also preserve the quality for an extremely long period
of time. Any gardener looking for a serious long-term
storage solution for their product should invest in a
True Liberty ® Vacuum Sealer with the gas-purging
option. The gas-purging feature can also be turned
on or off, allowing a horticulturist to use this model
as a gas-purging unit or as a vacuum-only sealer.
