CAVN

Self-Contained Retractable Nozzle Vacuum Sealer with Gas Purge

GAS PURGE BUILT-IN COMPRESSOR 20" · 25" · 30" · 35"

Foot pedal–activated gas-flush vacuum packaging with no external air required. The CAVN expands the AVN with an internal 2 CFM compressor — completely self-contained and ready to perform out of the box.

CAVN-20 walkthrough — self-contained gas purge vacuum sealer Archive footage from our 2011 dealer visit. AmeriVacS designs are largely unchanged, but specs, options, and terms may have — confirm current details in the product description and your quote.

The CAVN exists to answer one objection: "we don’t have shop air." With the compressor built into the cabinet, the CAVN needs nothing but a wall outlet (and a gas bottle, if you’re flushing). That makes placement flexible — labs, retail back rooms, mobile operations, or anywhere running an air line isn’t practical.

Sealing capability matches the AVN: the 1/4-inch-wide element delivers a leak-proof seal on any kind and thickness of flexible bag, including clear poly, foil (Mylar), mil-spec, and ESD bags. Same safety interlock, same clean wrinkle-free seals without bag distortion.

Hand-assembled in San Diego, California, with the same components used across the AmeriVacS line.

Where the CAVN earns its keep

  • Facilities without compressed air on site
  • Mobile or multi-location sealing stations
  • Labs and clean spaces where a shop compressor isn’t welcome

Questions buyers actually ask

CAVN vs AVN — what’s the real difference?

Sealing performance is the same. The CAVN adds an internal 2 CFM compressor so you don’t need shop air; the AVN relies on your facility’s compressed-air supply. If you already have air plumbed, the AVN is the simpler buy. If you don’t, the CAVN saves you buying and housing a separate compressor.

Is the internal compressor loud?

It’s a small 2 CFM unit sized for the sealer — far quieter than a shop compressor. For exact dB figures for your environment, request the current spec sheet through the quote form or by phone.
