Sammic Circulator SMARTVIDE XL for precision sous-vide cooking

A circulator draws water from a tank, heats it to a set temperature, and pumps it back in a closed loop. The water never stops moving, so every part of the bath stays at the same temperature. This method cooks food evenly, keeps moisture in, and locks in flavour and texture without overcooking.

The SMARTVIDE XL clips to the side of any container at least 155 mm deep. Fill the container with water up to the marked level, attach the circulator, and set the temperature and time using the four-button control and full-colour TFT display. The unit starts circulating and heating the water to the chosen temperature, which it holds within a fraction of a degree. Food sealed in vacuum bags is lowered into the bath and cooks gently in its own juices. Once the timer ends, the circulator stops and the display shows the cycle is complete. The same juices that cooked the food can be used straight away to finish sauces or plates.

The body is built from materials chosen for light weight and corrosion resistance. An ergonomic handle on top makes the circulator easy to carry, and a transport bag is included to protect it between uses. The pump and heating element are sealed inside the housing, while the control panel sits above the water line for safety and visibility.

Four buttons on the front panel set the temperature, cooking time, and access the recipe memory. The full-colour TFT display shows the current temperature, set temperature, remaining time, and any alerts. Bluetooth connectivity allows the circulator to send and receive data for HACCP records or firmware updates. An optional core probe can be connected to monitor the internal temperature of the food itself.

A 2.6 kW heating element draws a steady load from a 230 V single-phase circuit, the standard supply in professional kitchens. The 120 L volume rating means the circulator can maintain temperature in a bath large enough for bulk service without frequent refills. At 4.65 kg, the unit is light enough to move between stations or sites by hand. The temperature range of 5 °C to 95 °C covers chilling, holding, pasteurising, and every sous-vide process.

After use, the circulator is unclipped and wiped down with a damp cloth. The pump and heating element are sealed, so no water enters the housing. The transport bag keeps the unit clean during storage or transit. Recipe settings are stored in the memory and can be recalled for repeat batches.

The SMARTVIDE XL is a portable circulator with Bluetooth and HACCP-ready data logging. It is listed in the catalogue under sous-vide equipment.
