Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Cornish Larder," a popular farm shop in Truro, needed a more efficient way to package their homemade cured meats and  local cheeses, aiming to reduce spoilage and  improve product presentation for their customers.

"The Buffalo sealer is incredibly straightforward. We've managed to cut our packaging time in half and  our customers have definitely noticed how much fresher the products are when they get them home."

David Chen – Owner, The Cornish Larder

By implementing the Buffalo CN514, they successfully reduced their weekly chilled food waste by over 20% and  received positive feedback on their improved, professional packaging.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Place the unit on a flat, stable, and  non-slip surface.
  • Before first use, wipe down the unit and  sealing area with a damp cloth.
  • Plug into a standard 13-amp wall socket.
  • Ensure you are using compatible embossed or channelled vacuum sealer bags for external sealers.

Keeping It Going

  • Always wipe the unit clean after each use, paying special attention to the sealing strip.
  • Never immerse the machine in water or use abrasive cleaning chemicals.
  • Check the foam gaskets around the vacuum channel periodically for wear and  tear.
  • Store the machine with the lid unlatched to prevent compressing the gaskets and  extend their life.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Vacuum Packer

Not sure which vacuum sealer is the best fit for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider.

External vs. Chamber

External sealers (like this Buffalo model) are compact, affordable, and  perfect for solid foods. Chamber machines are larger and  more expensive but are the best choice if you need to regularly seal liquids like soups and  sauces.

Seal Width Matters

Think about the largest items you'll need to pack. A 300mm sealing bar offers great versatility for most professional kitchens, from individual portions to larger cuts of meat.

Look for Control

If you work with a variety of foods, features like 'Pulse' or 'Gentle' modes are essential. They give you the precision to seal delicate items without crushing them.

Prioritise Build Quality

In a busy kitchen, durability is key. A stainless steel body is much easier to clean and  will withstand knocks and  scrapes far better than an all-plastic model.

Check Bag Compatibility

Remember that external vacuum sealers require special embossed or channelled bags to work correctly. Standard flat bags won't allow the air to be removed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What kind of bags does this machine use?

A: This is an external vacuum sealer, so it requires embossed or channelled vacuum bags up to 300mm wide to work correctly.

Q: Can I seal bags containing liquids like soup?

A: This type of external sealer is not recommended for liquids, as the fluid can be drawn into the machine. It's best for solid or moist foods.

Q: How does the pulse function work?

A: You simply press and  hold the 'Pulse' button to remove air in short bursts. This gives you fine control to stop sealing before delicate food is crushed.

Q: Is the seal strong enough for sous vide cooking?

A: Absolutely. It creates a strong, airtight seal that is perfect for immersing in a water bath for sous vide cooking.

Q: How do I clean the machine?

A: Simply wipe the stainless steel casing and  sealing area with a damp cloth after use. Do not submerge the unit in water.

Q: What's the difference between 'normal' and  'gentle' pressure?

A: 'Gentle' mode uses a lower vacuum pressure, which is ideal for softer foods like bread or pastries to prevent them from being squashed.

Q: Can I just make a seal without vacuuming?

A: Yes, the 'Manual Seal' function allows you to create a seal at any point, which is also useful for making custom-sized bags from a roll.

Q: Is this machine heavy or portable?

A: At just over 4kg, it's lightweight enough to be easily moved around the kitchen or taken to off-site catering jobs.

What is Pulse Vacuum and  Why Does It Matter?

Think of a standard vacuum sealer as being 'all or nothing'—it sucks the air out in one continuous go. This is great for a sturdy item like a steak, but what about a delicate fillet of sea bass, a soft brioche bun, or a bag of homemade crisps? That's where 'Pulse Vacuum' comes in. Instead of a constant suction, you tap a button to remove air in short, controlled bursts. It’s like gently nudging the air out, giving you complete control to stop the moment it's perfectly sealed, without crushing or damaging the contents. It’s the secret to getting professional results with delicate foods.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Small Restaurants & Gastropubs: Perfect for prepping ingredients, marinating meats, and  getting started with sous vide cooking techniques.
  • Delis & Farm Shops: Ideal for extending the shelf life of cheeses, charcuterie, and  other artisan products for retail.
  • Busy Cafés: Excellent for portioning sandwich fillings, soups, and  baked goods to reduce daily waste and  speed up service.
  • Mobile Caterers & Food Stalls: A compact, lightweight, and  portable solution for prepping off-site and  keeping food fresh on the go.
