It operates as a standalone prep machine, taking whole potatoes through a large-capacity hopper and cutting them to a consistent size in a single pass. The one-piece knife block design keeps the cutting action clean and controlled, which also helps minimise wastage — a practical concern when peeled potato is your raw material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a busy service environment, prep speed directly affects labour cost and workflow efficiency. The PC2 is built to handle volume continuously without slowing down, making it practical for high-demand periods when prep staff are working against the clock. The interchangeable knife and scallop blocks allow kitchens to produce different chip profiles from the same machine, which matters for operations running varied menu formats or catering for different service occasions from a single prep area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom an operational standpoint, the PC2 offers several day-to-day advantages:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterchangeable knife blocks allow multiple chip sizes from a single machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge hopper capacity supports fast, continuous loading during busy prep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-piece knife block design reduces waste and speeds up changeover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy gauge stainless steel construction supports regular cleaning and long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperator interlocks fitted as standard to meet kitchen safety requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe machine is suited to single-phase power supply, which makes it straightforward to position in most commercial kitchens without specialist electrical provision. Flexible mounting options mean it can be bench-mounted or floor-standing depending on your available workspace. It is worth considering the flow of your prep area — the hopper loading height and discharge position should align sensibly with your peeling and washing stages to avoid unnecessary handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PC2 is well suited to pubs, fish and chip operations, contract caterers, and any kitchen producing chips at volume on a daily basis. It is most appropriate for medium-scale operations; kitchens with exceptionally high throughput demands may find a heavier-duty model better matched to their output requirements. Equally, very low-volume operations may find a simpler manual chipper sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are unsure which knife block size is right for your menu, or want to talk through how the PC2 would fit into your prep workflow, our team is happy to help you work it out before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imc","offers":[{"title":"12 x 12mm","offer_id":56921826132350,"sku":"F61\/220 + S61\/135","price":2773.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 x 14mm","offer_id":56921826165118,"sku":"F61\/220 + S61\/129","price":2773.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"17 x 14mm","offer_id":56921826197886,"sku":"F61\/220 + S61\/115","price":2773.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"21 x 17mm","offer_id":56921826230654,"sku":"F61\/220 + S61\/182","price":2773.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/products\/Imc_PC2_Potato_Chipper.jpg?v=1580238803"},{"product_id":"sammic-cf-5-hand-chipping-machine","title":"Sammic CF-5 Hand Chipping Machine","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sammic CF-5 is a manually operated hand chipper designed for commercial kitchens that need to produce consistent, cleanly cut chips without the footprint or cost of a powered machine. The operator pushes the potato through the blade block using a long-handled lever arm, and the ejector mechanism clears the grid automatically, keeping the blade free and ready for the next portion. It comes supplied as standard with a 10x10mm blade block, which is the most commonly used cut for chips in UK catering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn practice, the CF-5 suits kitchens where chipping is a regular but not continuous task. The extended lever arm reduces the effort needed per portion, and the spring-return mechanism means less fatigue over a service period. The suction feet keep the unit stable on a worktop without the need for clamping or fixing. The body is constructed from a light stainless alloy — durable enough for daily commercial use and straightforward to clean down between services.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePractical benefits for kitchen teams include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent chip shape and size with each pass, reducing portion variation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-ejecting pusher keeps the blade grid clear without manual intervention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo electrical connection required — no installation lead time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuction feet provide stable worktop mounting without permanent fixing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel fittings and smooth surfaces support quick, thorough cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a manually operated unit, output is dependent on operator speed rather than a fixed mechanical rate.

It is constructed throughout from heavy-gauge stainless steel, with deep-penetration welding used at all joints to support sustained daily use without the structural fatigue that lighter-built machines can suffer under continuous loading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn service, the CS-C1 is designed to keep pace with busy kitchens where chip output is a core part of the menu. The extra-wide hopper accepts a substantial batch of potatoes at a time, and an internal baffle arrangement — with angled side plates and an enlarged baffle throat — has been engineered to reduce blockages and allow faster, more consistent loading. The exit chute is integrated into the hopper as a one-piece assembly, which concentrates chip discharge, limits floor wastage, and reduces the number of components that require cleaning between service periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe key practical advantages of the CS-C1 in day-to-day operation include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick-release knife block that can be swapped or cleaned without tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade widths available in 8mm, 12mm, 14mm, and 17mm to suit different menu requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew-fixed baffles that stay rigid under load and can be individually replaced if needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubber feet that reduce vibration noise during operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperator button cover designed to resist water ingress and accidental tampering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe machine can be mounted on a drainer, worktop, or a separate stand (sold separately). The chute is also engineered to bear the weight of a chip bucket suspended directly from it, which is a practical consideration in kitchens where hands-free collection is the preferred workflow. The belt and pulley drive system is wider than earlier chipper designs, which contributes to longer service life and reduced maintenance frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CS-C1 is well suited to pubs, fish and chip shops, casual dining kitchens, and catering operations where chips feature heavily on the menu and reliable throughput during service is a priority.

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.
