Food Preparation Equipment
Commercial food preparation equipment covers the mixers, blenders, slicers, peelers and vacuum packers that turn raw ingredients into service-ready components in professional kitchens. It suits pubs, cafes, hotels, dark kitchens and care homes that need to cut prep labour without sacrificing consistency.
Key specifications
Matching throughput (kg/hour or litres per batch) to daily cover count is the golden rule, so the machine isn’t sitting idle or overworked. Worktop space, single-phase 13A power availability, and how easily parts strip down for cleaning under food hygiene rules also weigh in the decision.

Food Preparation Equipment — FAQs
What counts as food preparation equipment in a commercial kitchen?
It spans mixers, blenders, food processors, slicers, peelers, vacuum packers and steamers — any machine that processes raw ingredients before cooking. Most sit on a worktop or bench and run from a standard 13A socket.
How much should a small kitchen budget for core prep equipment?
A café or small pub typically starts with a stick blender, a compact food processor and a vacuum pack machine, with cost depending on brand and capacity, before larger mixers are added.
Do I need three-phase power for any of this equipment?
Only the largest planetary and spiral mixers (40 litre bowls and above) and heavy-duty cutter mixers typically need three-phase; most stick blenders, food processors and vacuum packers run on standard single-phase 13A supply.
Vogue, Sirman and Robot Coupe lead the department, with Sammic and Buffalo also well represented.
