SmartVide by Sammic is a highly precise, versatile, userfriendly and portable range of commercial immersion circulators. Big production capacity SmartVide by Sammic can be used in up to 56 lt. containers. This means that each unit can cook or regenerate up to 200 bags, 200 g. each, at the same time. SmartVide cookers offer versatility in use: they can be used in insulated containers with lids specifically designed for these appliances, in any gastronorm recipient with a minimum depth of 150mm. or any other container offering the right capacity and depth. Core probe allows standardizing recipes The optional core probe is available for SmatVide8 / 8Plus models. It makes easy the standardization of recipes. Once the recipe has been standardized in time and temperature, it is not necessary to use the core probe each time we cook sous-vide. SmartVide8 Plus: Bluetooth connectivity and advanced functions for an effective HACCP control Thanks to Bluetooth connectivity, SmartVide8 Plus makes HACCP extremely easy, allowing to Export or print cooking results at the end of each cycle. In addition, this connectivity option allows saving recipes and executing them without having to introduce cooking data in each cycle. SmartVide6, ideal for regeneration SmartVide6 offers the same precision and loading as SmartVide8. The main dif-
ference between them is the possibility to use the core probe. The lack of this functionality in SmartVide 6 makes this model ideal to execute already standardized recipes and well as to regenerate portions before serving. SmartVide4, a precision cooker for each product SmartVide4 is less powerful and offers a lower production capacity than the rest of the models. This model is ideal for small production needs or for those users who desire to have several baths at different temperatures for each type of product. Designed with chefs, for chefs Sammic’s R+D+i team has developed SmartVide range of products in collaboration with Sammic’s corporate chef Enrique Fleischmann and his team at Fleischmann’s cooking group.
