Henkelman Aero 42+ Chamber Vacuum Packer with H2O Sensor
£3,095.00(£3,714.00 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Henkelman Aero 42+ is a mid-range chamber vacuum packer built for consistent, repeatable use in professional kitchens. It handles both dry and wet food products reliably, and the inclusion of the H2O liquid sensor sets this version apart for operations that regularly vacuum pack sauces, marinades, soups, or other high-moisture items. The machine draws air from a sealed chamber before heat-sealing the bag, which produces a far more reliable and airtight result than external suction sealers of the type more commonly found in domestic settings.
In a working kitchen environment, consistency matters as much as speed. The Aero 42+ supports three adjustable programmes, allowing different product types to be packed to the same standard each time without manual guesswork. This suits operations where multiple members of staff use the machine across different shifts. The 21m³/h pump rate gives it enough draw to handle repeated cycles during prep periods without prolonged wait times between seals.
The H2O sensor is a genuinely practical feature rather than a marketing addition. When packing liquid-heavy products, the sensor detects when moisture approaches the seal bar and automatically completes the cycle at the right point. This prevents partial seals, reduces bag waste, and avoids the quality issues that can arise when liquid is drawn into the pump or seal bar area.
- Three programmable cycles allow consistent results across different product types
- H2O sensor protects seal integrity when working with liquid-rich foods
- Stainless steel construction supports kitchen hygiene standards and daily cleaning routines
- Suitable for both storage and sous vide preparation workflows
The machine weighs 61kg, so placement should be considered carefully — a fixed prep surface at a practical working height is advisable. It is not designed to be moved regularly once positioned. There are no specific ventilation or water supply requirements, but adequate bench space and a suitable power supply should be confirmed before installation.
The Aero 42+ is well suited to independent restaurants, hotel kitchens, butchers, and catering operations that vacuum pack regularly as part of their prep or storage workflow. It is a practical step up from compact entry-level machines, without moving into the larger footprint of heavy-production models. For kitchens with substantially higher throughput demands or continuous-cycle requirements, a higher-capacity chamber machine may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this model fits your workflow — particularly around liquid products or cycle volumes — our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Aero 42+ suitable for packing liquid-heavy products like soups or sauces?
Yes — the H2O sensor on this model is specifically designed for this. It monitors moisture levels during the extraction cycle and automatically triggers the seal at the correct point, preventing liquid from reaching the seal bar and ensuring a clean, reliable seal even with high-moisture products. Without this sensor, liquid packing on a standard chamber machine requires careful manual management of vacuum levels.
What kind of kitchen volume is this machine suited to?
The Aero 42+ is well matched to kitchens that vacuum pack as a regular part of their prep routine — several dozen cycles per day across a prep shift, for example. It performs consistently in independent restaurants, butchery operations, and hotel kitchen environments. For sites requiring near-continuous cycling or very high batch volumes through a single machine, a heavier-duty model with a larger chamber and higher pump capacity may be more appropriate.
Are there any specific installation requirements to be aware of?
The machine does not require a water connection or specialist ventilation, but at 61kg it needs a stable, fixed work surface at a comfortable operating height. It is not practical to reposition regularly once set up. You should confirm that your electrical supply meets the machine's requirements before installation — if you are unsure, your installer or our team can advise.
