Good afternoon. Are there any tips for which vacuum sealer machine should I buy? The cheapest for 40 € or something more expensive? What suction force is necessary for the long-term storage of raw materials ?

Get one that has a "snorkel", a little tube so you're not limited to the specialty bags with grooves. You want to be able to use "retort" bags. The smooth, silver bags. Also compare maximum heat sealing thickness (in mil) capacity vs the bags you can find online. Don't worry about "suction" strength, they're all sufficient.

Thank you for your help!

Look for one similar to this, It's a common Chinese copy of a much more expensive professional model, and a bunch of companies seem to be making it.

Should be under €200 from Alibaba, Amazon, etc.

More pricey than what you likely expected to pay, but will long outlast the cheap ones and you'll find endless uses for it. Also, the bags are far cheaper, with a much bigger selection than being restricted to the speciality bags the cheap units require.

In my opinion any decent one will work. Ghouls suggestion is cool but totally not necessary unless you want to use it for something else too.

For sealing some RAWS food vacuum bag and a standard vacuum sealer will work perfectly. Double seal into another sealed bag, grab a simple mylar bag put it inside, close it manually (no need to heat seal it), store it. End of story
