Sammic CF-5 Manual Hand Chipper with 10x10mm Blade

The Sammic CF-5 is a manually operated hand chipper designed for commercial kitchens that need to produce consistently cut chips without the footprint, cost, or installation requirements of a powered machine. The operator pushes the potato through the blade block using a long-handled lever arm, and an automatic ejector mechanism clears the grid after each pass, keeping the blade ready for the next portion. It is supplied as standard with a 10x10mm blade block, the most commonly specified cut for chips in UK catering.

In practice, the CF-5 is well suited to kitchens where chipping is a regular but not continuous task. The extended lever arm reduces the effort required per portion, and the spring-return mechanism helps manage operator fatigue across a service period. Suction feet hold the unit stable on a worktop without clamping or permanent fixing. The body is constructed from a light stainless alloy — durable enough for daily commercial use and straightforward to clean between services.

Practical benefits for kitchen teams include:

• Consistent chip shape and size with each pass, reducing portion variation
• Self-ejecting pusher keeps the blade grid clear without manual intervention
• No electrical connection required — no installation lead time or compliance works
• Suction feet provide stable worktop mounting without permanent fixing
• Smooth surfaces and stainless fittings support quick, thorough cleaning

As a manually operated unit, output depends on operator speed rather than a fixed mechanical rate. For kitchens producing chips continuously throughout service, a powered chipping machine would be the more practical choice. The CF-5 is best suited to operations where chipping happens in batches — prep periods rather than on-demand production at pace.

Optional blade blocks are available as accessories, allowing different cut profiles if your menu requires more than one chip size. A collecting bowl or pan is not included and will need to be sourced separately.

If you are weighing up whether a manual chipper will meet your service demands, or want to talk through blade options and realistic output, the team is glad to help before you commit.
