Product Description
The IMC PC2 is a dedicated commercial potato chipper designed for kitchens where chips are a core part of the daily menu rather than an occasional side. It accepts whole potatoes through a large-capacity hopper and cuts them to a consistent size in a single pass, using a one-piece knife block that keeps the cutting action controlled and minimises wastage from uneven or broken cuts.
In a volume prep environment, throughput consistency matters as much as raw speed. The PC2 is built to run continuously through busy prep periods without losing pace, which helps keep labour time predictable and takes pressure off prep staff in the run-up to service. The interchangeable knife and scallop blocks mean different chip profiles can be produced from the same machine — a practical advantage for kitchens running varied menu formats or catering for different service occasions from a single prep station.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the PC2 offers several genuine advantages:
- Interchangeable knife blocks allow multiple chip sizes and scallop cuts from one machine
- Large hopper supports fast, continuous loading during high-volume prep runs
- One-piece knife block design reduces waste and simplifies block changeover
- Heavy-gauge stainless steel construction stands up to regular use and daily cleaning
- Operator interlocks fitted as standard to meet commercial kitchen safety requirements
The machine runs on a single-phase supply, so it can be positioned in most commercial kitchens without specialist electrical work. It can be bench-mounted or floor-standing depending on your available workspace. Before installation, it is worth thinking through your prep flow — aligning the hopper loading height and discharge position with your peeling and washing stages avoids unnecessary handling between steps and keeps throughput efficient.
The PC2 is well suited to pubs, fish and chip operations, contract caterers, school kitchens, and any site producing chips at volume on a regular basis. It sits in the mid-range of the market: kitchens with exceptionally high continuous throughput may find a heavier-duty model better matched to their output, while very low-volume sites may find a simpler manual chipper sufficient for their needs.
If you would like to talk through knife block options, prep area positioning, or whether the PC2 is the right fit for your operation, our team is happy to work through the detail with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The PC2 is well matched to fish and chip operations producing chips at regular volume throughout the day. Its continuous-run capability and large hopper capacity handle steady prep demand without slowing down. For exceptionally high-output sites running near-constant production across long trading hours, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty model would be a better long-term fit for your throughput.
- The PC2 operates on a standard single-phase supply, which means it can be connected in most commercial kitchens without specialist electrical provision. Before positioning the machine, it is worth mapping it against your prep workflow — aligning the hopper height and discharge point with your peeling and washing stages will reduce unnecessary potato handling between steps.
- The PC2 uses interchangeable knife and scallop blocks, so different chip profiles and cuts can be produced from a single machine by swapping the block over. This makes it practical for kitchens that need to switch between chip sizes for different menus or service formats without investing in additional equipment.
