The upper chipping block and lower knife frame are both removable, which is the defining practical feature of this model — it makes cleaning thorough and straightforward, and allows the blade set to be swapped when a different cut size is required. Cutting options include 8mm, 10mm, 12.5mm, and 14mm chipping blades, as well as an 8-piece wedger, with one block and blade set supplied as standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a busy service environment, the HPC performs reliably for moderate-volume chipping. The double roller action and heavy-duty spring reduce the effort required per press and help maintain consistent cuts through a batch of potatoes. It is not intended to replace a high-volume electric chipper in a site turning over several hundred covers, but for a café, small fish and chip shop, pub kitchen, or catering operation with measured chip demand, it handles regular service without issue. The chromium-plated handle and spring are built to withstand daily use rather than occasional domestic operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey practical points worth noting:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetachable block and knife frame simplify cleaning to a food hygiene standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo electrical supply required — straightforward to position and use anywhere on the prep line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple blade sizes available, purchased separately, to suit different chip or wedge styles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble roller mechanism reduces operator effort during batch chipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact footprint suits smaller prep areas with limited bench space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this is a manual unit, throughput is directly linked to operator effort and pace. Sites with very high chip demand during peak service should consider whether a powered chipper would be a more practical fit. The HPC is best suited to operations where chip volume is manageable and the simplicity of a manual machine — no wiring, no maintenance contracts, easy storage — is an advantage rather than a compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are unsure whether this model suits your service volume or would like guidance on blade sizes for a particular chip style, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metcalfe","offers":[{"title":"Chassis Only - 5HC10","offer_id":39788593184828,"sku":"5HC10","price":302.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"With Set of Block Knives \u0026 Frame for 8mm - 5HC10 + 9HC21","offer_id":56759721197950,"sku":"5HC10 + 9HC21","price":457.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"With Set of Block Knives \u0026 Frame for 10mm - 5HC10 + 9HC22","offer_id":56759721230718,"sku":"5HC10 + 9HC22","price":457.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"With Set of Block Knives \u0026 Frame for 12.5mm - 5HC10 + 9HC23","offer_id":56759721263486,"sku":"5HC10 + 9HC23","price":457.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"With Set of Block Knives \u0026 Frame for 14mm - 5HC10 + 9HC31","offer_id":56759721296254,"sku":"5HC10 + 9HC31","price":480.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/products\/MET9841.jpg?v=1599363859"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/collections\/MET9841_d75fefa3-9c23-4483-9f55-4162552e3fbd.jpg?v=1655910678","url":"https:\/\/www.advantage-catering-equipment.co.uk\/collections\/metcalfe-potato-chippers.oembed","provider":"Advantage Catering Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
