HIPPO Retractable Nozzle Vacuum Sealer

The HIPPO is a compact, powerful nozzle-style vacuum sealer (sometimes called a snorkel style) with easy one-touch operation. With just two buttons, it offers 3 operating modes: automatic, semi-automatic, and seal only.

Unlike other home/commercial vacuum sealers, the HIPPO features modes that allow it to seal BOTH smooth vacuum seal pouches AND textured vacuum seal bags like those used with FoodSaver® and Shield N Seal® bags.

Its compact size and convenient operation make the HIPPO ideal for both home and commercial applications ranging from research labs and industrial factories to food packagers and for use as a restaurant CRYOVAC machine. It may be used up to 300 times per day, with 100-cycle continuous use.

An adjustable seal time of 1 to 9 seconds allows the HIPPO to work with a range of materials such as poly-nylon, Mylar/foil laminates, and more. Bags up to 12” wide may be sealed in one pass, and larger bags may be sealed in stages.

A built-in catch-cup collects excess liquid, allowing the HIPPO to seal wet contents without slowing or damaging the machine. The vacuum nozzle has a filter to prevent debris from entering the machine and is removable for easy cleaning and maintenance.

This simple yet effective vacuum sealer is the solution for small to medium production settings, where space and convenience are a concern.
