ABSTRACT:
An exemplary system and method for providing and releasing a vacuum seal is disclosed as comprising inter alia: puncturing a portion of a lid closure with a penetrator device; actuating a vacuum pump to remove at least a portion of atmospheric gas from inside the containment vessel via the puncture hole; and sealing the puncture with a laminar valve or thin film held in place with PST or other suitable adhesive. Disclosed features and specifications may be variously controlled, adapted or otherwise optionally modified to improve release and/or re-establishment of a vacuum seal for any application or operating environment. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention generally provide for quick, easy and safe opening and resealing of vacuum packaged containers for food products.
