Extend ingredient shelf life, lock in natural flavours, and simplify bulk batch prep with the Apuro HX585-A Commercial Chamber Vacuum Sealer. Purpose-engineered for Australian restaurants, cafes, bistros, catering services, and commercial prep kitchens, this benchtop machine delivers heavy-duty packaging performance in a compact footprint. Featuring a generous 6.8-litre stainless steel well and a 305 mm dual sealing bar, it seals large commercial vacuum pouches with equal ease for solids, liquids, and marinades.
Smart Vac Automated Sensing & Marinate Program
Equipped with intelligent Smart Vac technology, the HX585-A automatically detects the product volume and pouch size to pull the optimal vacuum pressure without requiring staff to dial in complex settings. For high-speed culinary prep, a dedicated Marinate cycle repeatedly cycles pressure inside the chamber, forcing marinades and brines deep into meat and vegetable fibres within minutes rather than hours. An integrated accessory port also connects to external vacuum canisters, container lids, and wine stoppers for added prep-line versatility.
Leak-Free Dual Seal Wire Technology
Unlike external suction sealers that struggle with liquid content, chamber sealers equalise pressure inside and outside the pouch, making it easy to vacuum-pack soups, stocks, sauces, and wet marinades without messy spill-over. The twin seal wire system across the 305 mm bar produces heavy-duty, leak-free double seals that withstand the thermal demands of sous-vide water baths, long-term deep freezing, and rough handling during busy prep shifts.
Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel & Toughened Glass Lid
Crafted with a commercial-grade stainless steel body, the HX585-A is built to endure daily high-volume service while remaining quick to wipe down. A crystal-clear, scratch-resistant toughened glass viewing lid provides unobstructed visual monitoring of the sealing process without clouding or yellowing over time like acrylic covers. At 12.96 kg, it sits stably on the bench yet remains easy to relocate around your kitchen.

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation
To protect the vacuum chamber, maintain airtight sealing performance, and ensure food-safe operation:
-
Power Down & Unplug: At the conclusion of service, switch off the machine, unplug it from the wall socket, and allow the sealing bar to cool completely before cleaning.
-
Internal Chamber Washdown: Wipe out the 6.8L stainless steel well with a soft microfibre cloth dampened with warm water and a neutral, food-safe sanitising detergent. Take care to wipe up any liquid spills or marinade splashes immediately. Never allow liquids to enter the vacuum intake port located inside the chamber.
-
Sealing Bar & Gasket Maintenance: Gently wipe the 305 mm dual seal wire bar and the silicone pressure strip using a clean, dry cloth to remove plastic film fragments or marinade grease. Inspect the chamber lid rubber gasket regularly; keep it clean and free of debris to maintain a complete airtight vacuum seal.
-
Toughened Glass Lid Care: Clean the toughened glass lid with an approved commercial glass cleaner or warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Never use steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, or harsh caustic chemicals that could scratch the viewing surface or damage the hinges.
-
Electrical Safety: Never submerge the vacuum sealer in water or wash it down with a commercial pre-rinse hose or dishwashing spray gun.
Benchtop Placement & Electrical Guidelines
The Apuro HX585-A is designed for efficient integration into commercial prep lines, larders, and sculleries:
-
Standard 10A Electrical Connection: The sealer is fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug and requires a 220–240V single-phase power point. Drawing an energy-efficient 380W, it plugs straight into existing commercial benchtop outlets without placing strain on kitchen circuits.
-
Solid, Level Bench Positioning: Place the unit on a flat, level, and dry commercial stainless steel prep bench or equipment table capable of supporting its 12.96 kg net weight plus filled food pouches. Ensure the rubberised feet sit firmly to prevent movement when opening or closing the lid.
-
Airflow & Lid Clearances: Allow sufficient overhead clearance above the unit to let the toughened glass lid open fully without striking overhead shelves or utensil racks. Maintain at least 100 mm of space around the rear and side vents to ensure proper cooling for the vacuum motor.
-
Dry Prep Environment: Keep the machine away from direct water spray zones, commercial dishwashers, and open flames (such as char grills or wok burners) to eliminate electrical and fire hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I vacuum-pack liquids like soups, sauces, and stocks with this machine?
Yes. Because the HX585-A is a true chamber vacuum sealer, pressure is equalised across the entire chamber—both inside and outside the pouch. This prevents liquids from boiling over or getting sucked up into the sealing bar, making it suitable for wet marinades, dressings, stocks, and purees.
What is the purpose of the Smart Vac feature?
Smart Vac is an automated sensing program that detects the volume of product and the size of the pouch placed inside the chamber. It calculates the exact amount of air extraction required automatically, eliminating manual cycle programming and ensuring consistent vacuum levels across diverse products.
How does the Marinate function work?
The Marinate program alternates chamber vacuum pressure in pulses over a short cycle. This rapid pressure variation expands food tissues and opens up protein fibres, drawing wet marinades, brines, and aromatics deep into meats and vegetables in minutes rather than requiring overnight soaking.
Can I use standard smooth vacuum pouches, or do I need embossed bags?
Chamber vacuum sealers operate using cost-effective, standard commercial smooth vacuum pouches (up to 305 mm wide). While embossed pouches are also compatible, smooth commercial pouches are significantly more economical for high-volume kitchen prep.
Does this unit require specialized 15A electrical wiring?
No. The Apuro HX585-A draws just 380W and is supplied with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug. It can be plugged directly into any standard 220–240V wall socket in your commercial kitchen, food truck, or catering facility.
