Food Processors
Food processors are multi-function machines that slice, dice, grate and chop vegetables, cheese and other ingredients quickly using interchangeable discs and blades, used across pub kitchens, cafes, hotels and dark kitchens to cut manual prep time.

Key specifications
Bowl capacity and throughput set the pace — typically 2-8 litre bowls processing several kg per minute, matched to daily prep volume — plus the range of discs (slicing, grating, dicing) supplied or available as attachments. A 0.5-1.5kW single-phase motor covers most commercial kitchen needs.
Food Processors — FAQs
What size food processor does a café need?
A 2-3.5 litre bowl processor with a 0.5-0.75kW motor covers most café prep tasks like salad veg and cheese; kitchens processing high volumes of vegetables daily should look at 3.5-8 litre commercial models.
Can a food processor replace a veg prep machine?
For low-to-medium volumes, yes — a food processor with slicing and grating discs covers most veg prep needs; high-throughput kitchens processing large sacks of vegetables daily are better served by a dedicated veg prep machine with continuous feed.
Robot Coupe leads the range, with Magimix and Sammic also well represented.
