Im still wondering how the OP is going to close the bags of food when
the vacuum has been achieved if he cant reach inside.

You know about the little man who turns off the light in the
refrigerator? He has a cousin who owns a vacuum suit and is looking
for work ...

Actually is easy. Just like a Tillia Food Saver. And every vacuum chamber
one I have seen. You put the bag end on top of the sealer bar and neoprene
/ flexible gasket comes down against the bag and bar. the pressure is light
and the air can be sucked out. Then when the heating bar is energized the
gasket gives enough pressure to ensure a seal when the plastic is melted.
And the little guy who controls the refrigerator light enjoys a moment of
warmth from the heating bar.
