What type of cutting grids does this chipper use?

This unit is compatible with standard Francis Overall chip cutting grids, offering a wide range of chip sizes. It can also accommodate New Christmas Chip grids.

Is this chipper suitable for continuous heavy-duty use?

As a hand-operated unit, it is best suited for batch processing and environments where flexibility in chip size and manual control are prioritised over high-volume continuous output.

What maintenance is typically required for a hand chipper?

Routine cleaning after each use is essential. Blades and grids should be inspected regularly for sharpness and replaced as needed to ensure optimal cutting performance.

Can this chipper be used for vegetables other than potatoes?

Yes, this class of equipment is generally suitable for chipping various root vegetables, provided they fit within the feed opening and have a suitable texture for cutting.

What are the benefits of a free-standing chipper option?

A free-standing option typically offers greater stability during operation and can be positioned independently, potentially improving workflow and ergonomics compared to a table-top unit.
