Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Squid, a popular bistro in Penzance, needed to streamline their prep for their signature sous-vide dishes and reduce food waste. Their old external sealer just wasn't keeping up with demand.
"The Buffalo machine has been brilliant. We batch prep all our fish and premium steaks for the week in a single morning. The dual seal gives us total confidence, and the marinate function has elevated our specials board. It just works, every single time."
Robert Hughes – Head Chef
Since implementing the HX585, The Salty Squid has cut its weekly food prep time by 4 hours and virtually eliminated spoilage on their high-cost proteins.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find a flat, stable, and well-ventilated counter surface with easy access to a 13A socket.
- Before first use, wipe down the chamber, lid, and seal bar with a damp, food-safe cloth.
- Run a test cycle with an empty bag to ensure you're familiar with the controls and the seal is heating correctly.
- Check the oil level in the vacuum pump as per the manual's instructions before heavy use.
Keeping It Going
- After each session, wipe out any moisture or food debris from the chamber to maintain hygiene.
- Regularly inspect the sealing bar and the lid gasket for any wear and tear, replacing them when necessary.
- Change the vacuum pump oil according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule to ensure longevity.
- Never use abrasive scouring pads on the stainless steel body or the glass lid; a soft cloth is all you need.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What kind of bags should I use with this machine?
A: For best results, you should use commercial-grade vacuum packer bags or pouches. This machine can handle bags up to 305mm wide.
Q: Can I seal liquids like soups and sauces?
A: Absolutely. That's a key advantage of a chamber vacuum sealer. Because the air pressure is equalised inside and outside the bag, liquids won't get sucked into the machine.
Q: How does the marinate function work?
A: The machine repeatedly creates and releases a vacuum. This process causes the food's pores to open and close, drawing the marinade in much faster than traditional methods.
Q: What is the point of the dual seal wires?
A: It creates two seals in parallel. This provides a much more secure, failsafe closure, which is especially important for sous-vide cooking or long-term freezer storage.
Q: Is it difficult to clean?
A: Not at all. The stainless steel chamber is designed with smooth, rounded corners that are easy to wipe down with a food-safe sanitiser.
Q: What does 'Smart Vac' actually do?
A: It automatically senses the amount of air and moisture to create the perfect vacuum level for whatever is in the bag, taking all the guesswork out of it for you.
Q: How do I change the oil in the pump?
A: The user manual provides a step-by-step guide. It's a straightforward maintenance task that ensures the pump runs smoothly for years.
Q: Can this machine be used for non-food items?
A: Yes, it's great for protecting sensitive items from air and moisture, such as small electronics or important documents, though you should use a separate machine for non-food items to avoid cross-contamination.

Ever sealed a bag only to find it wasn't quite right? 'Smart Vac' is designed to stop that from happening. Instead of you having to guess the perfect vacuum duration, the machine uses sensors to automatically detect the air pressure inside the chamber. It pulls out the air until it reaches the optimal level for a tight, secure pack, and only then does it start the sealing process.
Think of it like a barista's automatic coffee grinder that gives the perfect dose every time without them weighing it. This chamber vacuum sealer for restaurants removes the human error and ensures you get a consistent, professional-grade result whether you're packing a delicate piece of fish or a hearty stew. It means less checking, less re-sealing, and more time focusing on the cooking.
