Vacuum Sealers SE vs SU: which range do I need?

15 Jul 2025

We help you choose the vacuum sealer you need

You need a commercial vacuum sealer. You open Sammic’s catalog or visit our website. The first thing you see is that we offer two ranges of vacuum sealers, Sensor (SE) and Sensor Ultra (SU). How do you choose the model you need? We bring you a concise practical guide.

SE-540CC SU-540

Advanced sealers with maximum reliability

Since we began manufacturing industrial vacuum sealers in 1991, our offer has evolved steadily to provide you with the best vacuum results. Today we offer two sealer ranges: the SE range for standard use, and the SU range for advanced use.

Common features

High‑precision sensor

Both ranges are designed to deliver perfect results in a professional setting. Equipped with highly reliable pumps, both ranges use a high‑precision sensor, optimizing sealing times and ensuring consistent results regardless of the product volume. Moreover, the “Vacuum plus” function lets the pump continue working for a short while after reaching the target vacuum, guaranteeing maximum quality and safety.

Maximum hygiene

Sammic vacuum sealers are designed following hygienic principles for professional environments. All tabletop models feature an integrated tank without welding seams to prevent dirt accumulation. The sealing bar is removable without disconnecting any cables.

Furthermore, all Sammic vacuum sealers feature double‑seal welding for effective sealing and progressive atmosphere control to avoid bag breakage during decompression, plus a pause button ideal for marinating.

Thanks to these features and the wide variety of models available, both ranges ensure top quality, hygiene, and process standardization.

Main differences

Available models

Although most models are offered in both Sensor and Sensor Ultra ranges, the Sensor range includes a compact model (SE‑204 / SE‑208), while the Sensor Ultra range exclusively offers double‑chamber and swing‑lid models (SU‑6100 / SU‑6160).

Connectivity

SU models can connect to the free SammicVac app, allowing intuitive programming and control from a mobile device.

Label printing

Sensor Ultra sealers can be connected to an optional printer, enabling label printing without a PC or other device.

Differences when sealing liquids

In Sensor models, liquid sealing safety is ensured by sensor control, whereas Sensor Ultra machines feature a liquid‑evaporation detection system, ensuring the highest possible vacuum in each cycle.

Programming

SU sealers are programmable, allowing up to 99 different programs with lock option. Via the app, you can even customize program names—perfect for process standardization.

Metal bag sealing

If you need to seal products in metalized bags, the SU range offers an optional Plus Seal that handles these bags.

Inert‑gas option

Choose the SU model if you require protective-atmosphere packaging (inert gas) for some or all of your products.

Conclusion

Both ranges provide top effectiveness and hygiene for food vacuum packaging and are suitable for standard use in most scenarios. However, you should opt for an SU model—with or without optional features—if you need: high‑capacity or double‑chamber operation, frequent liquid sealing, program customization and standardization, creative kitchen use, label printing, metal‑bag sealing, or inert‑gas packaging.
