Commercial food processors run the prep heavy lifting — slicing, dicing, grating, shredding and mixing at production volume. The right machine matches your menu's prep volumes and the consistency required. Hospitality Connect stocks authorised Sammic, Dito Sama, Yazicilar and Brice — covering bowl cutter-mixers, vegetable preparation machines, and a full disc range from 1mm slicing through to 12mm pressing slicing.
Types of commercial food processors
- Bowl cutter-mixers (Sammic K-41): 4.4L bowl, single speed — for chopping, mincing, mousse and pâté work.
- Combination cutter + vege prep (Sammic CK-241, CK-24V, CK-35V, CK-38V, CK-45V, CK-48V): Single chassis combining cutter-mixer bowl and vege prep attachment — saves bench space.
- Vegetable preparation machines (Sammic CA-31, CA-41, CA-2V, CA-62): Dedicated vege prep with disc kit — for high-volume slicing and shredding.
- Variable speed brushless (CK-24V, CK-48V, CA-2V): Adjustable RPM for delicate ingredients and consistent results.
- Disc range (Dito Sama 1mm to 12mm): Slicing 1, 2, 3, 5mm; pressing slicing 10, 12mm; shredding 2x8, 2x10mm; corrugated S-blades.
Sizing and disc selection
A 100-cover restaurant typically needs a 4–5 litre cutter-mixer plus a 3-disc vege prep kit (1mm slicer, 5mm slicer, 4mm shredder). Production kitchens supplying functions need 8L combination machines with full disc sets. Cafés doing salads and slaw daily need a CA-31 with a basic disc kit. Specify the discs at the same time as the machine — you'll need them from day one.
Key features to specify
- Brushless motor: Quieter, longer-lasting, variable speed control — worth the upgrade for daily production.
- Stainless steel construction: Hospitality-grade build that survives chemical wash-down and dishwasher cycles.
- Safety interlocks: Lid and feed safety switches — required by Australian commercial machinery standards.
- Easy-clean design: Quick-release bowls and discs save time at end of service.
Pair food processors with
Australian commercial hospitality covers a broad spectrum — quick-service chains, casual dining, fine dining restaurants, function and event centres, pubs and clubs, cafés, bakeries, hotels, aged-care kitchens, hospital food service, school canteens, government catering and the corporate function market. The right specification varies by venue type. We've supplied equipment to all of these, and that experience helps us flag when a piece of equipment is right-sized or when a different model would suit your throughput better.
All standard SKUs in this collection ship from our Melbourne warehouse, with freight to most metropolitan areas in 1–3 business days. Heavy and oversized items are dispatched on tail-lift trucks for ground-level delivery. We coordinate dispatch around your install date so equipment arrives when the kitchen is ready for it, not weeks ahead when it sits in the way. Trade accounts get consolidated freight pricing across multiple line items.
Build out the prep section with benchtop equipment, vacuum sealers and bags, cutting boards, and cooks knives.
