Hey Gang,
I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this and if you might have any insight into the problem. I have an Omcan MAT500 vac sealer. I've been using for a few years and it has always worked perfectly giving me upwards of ~ neg 0.8 bar of suction. A few days ago I was packaging up some recently cured soppressata and nearing the end the unit would suddenly not go beyond ~ neg 0.3 bar.
I popped the housing off and everything looks pristine. While running if I put my finger over the suction hole it does jump to neg 0.7 ~ This would indicate a gasket leak, but they look perfect. So aa for anyone with experience here a few questions if I might;
Is it possible for gaskets that look perfect suddenly fail and leak somehow?
The leak may be under the gaskets. Is anyone aware of a removable gasket sealer/adhesive that I could seal the gaskets in their channels?
Anything else you think it might be?
Thanks all
