IMC - Industrial Chipper

• Used for processing root vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and parsnips into chips or fries.
• Suitable for food service establishments, catering companies, and small to medium-sized food processing plants.
• Can be integrated into production lines requiring consistent sizing of vegetable pieces.
• Often found in facilities preparing ingredients for further cooking, frying, or packaging.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 200 kg/hour to 500 kg/hour, depending on the product and desired chip size.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Suitable feed size

Typically designed to accept whole or pre-cut vegetables up to approximately 100-150mm in diameter or length.

Chip size range

Commonly features interchangeable cutting blades to produce various chip sizes, typically from 8mm x 8mm to 14mm x 14mm.

Construction material

For food processing equipment, contact parts are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Footprint

An industrial chipper of this type typically requires a floor space of approximately 0.5m² to 1m².

• What maintenance is typically required for an industrial chipper?

  Regular maintenance typically involves cleaning after each use, inspection and sharpening or replacement of cutting blades, and checking motor and drive components. Lubrication points should be addressed as per the manufacturer's guidelines.

• Can this chipper process different types of vegetables?

• Are spare parts, such as blades, readily available for this type of equipment?

• What safety features are commonly found on industrial chippers?

• How is the output chip size adjusted?

Food processing cutters and dicers are valued for consistent product sizing and improved throughput in commercial kitchens and production facilities. Buyers typically prioritise robust construction, ease of cleaning, and reliable blade systems when purchasing used models. The equipment maintains strong reputation for durability across multiple shift operations. Key considerations include motor condition, blade sharpness, and safety guard integrity. Well-maintained units from established manufacturers generally deliver reliable performance at lower capital cost than new alternatives.
