Product Description
The IMC PC2 is a dedicated commercial potato chipper designed for kitchens where chips form a significant part of the daily menu. It takes whole potatoes through a large-capacity hopper and cuts them to a consistent size in a single pass, using a one-piece knife block design that keeps the cutting action controlled and reduces wastage from uneven cuts.
In a volume prep environment, throughput and consistency matter. The PC2 is built to run continuously during busy prep periods without slowing down, which helps keep labour time predictable and reduces the pressure on prep staff ahead of service. The interchangeable knife and scallop blocks allow different chip profiles to be produced from the same machine, which is useful for kitchens running varied menu formats or catering occasions from a single prep station.
From a day-to-day operational perspective, the PC2 offers several practical advantages:
- Interchangeable knife blocks allow multiple chip sizes and profiles from one machine
- Large hopper supports fast, continuous loading during high-volume prep
- One-piece knife block design reduces waste and simplifies changeover between cuts
- Heavy-gauge stainless steel construction holds up well to regular use and cleaning
- Operator interlocks fitted as standard to meet commercial kitchen safety requirements
The machine runs on a single-phase power supply, which means it can be positioned in most commercial kitchens without specialist electrical provision. It can be bench-mounted or floor-standing depending on your available workspace. It is worth thinking through the flow of your prep area before installation — ideally the hopper loading height and discharge position should align with your peeling and washing stages to avoid unnecessary handling between steps.
The PC2 is well suited to pubs, fish and chip operations, contract caterers, school catering, and any kitchen producing chips at volume on a regular basis. It is most appropriate for medium-scale operations. Kitchens with exceptionally high continuous throughput may find a heavier-duty model better matched to their output requirements, 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, workflow positioning, or whether the PC2 is the right fit for your operation, our team is happy to work through it with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The PC2 is well suited to fish and chip operations producing chips at volume on a daily basis. For very high-throughput sites running continuous prep across extended service periods, it is worth discussing your output requirements with us, as a heavier-duty model may be a better long-term match.
- The PC2 operates on a standard single-phase supply, which makes it straightforward to install in most commercial kitchens without the need for a three-phase connection or specialist electrical work.
- Yes — the PC2 uses interchangeable knife and scallop blocks, so you can produce different chip profiles from the same machine by swapping the block between prep runs. This makes it a practical option for kitchens that need flexibility across different menu formats or service occasions.
