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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom a day-to-day operational standpoint, the PC2 offers several genuine advantages:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterchangeable knife blocks allow multiple chip sizes and scallop cuts from one machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge hopper supports fast, continuous loading during high-volume prep runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-piece knife block design reduces waste and simplifies block changeover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-gauge stainless steel construction stands up to regular use and daily cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperator interlocks fitted as standard to meet commercial kitchen safety requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imc","offers":[{"title":"12 x 12mm","offer_id":56921826132350,"sku":"F61\/220 + S61\/135","price":2739.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 x 14mm","offer_id":56921826165118,"sku":"F61\/220 + S61\/129","price":2739.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"17 x 14mm","offer_id":56921826197886,"sku":"F61\/220 + S61\/115","price":2739.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"21 x 17mm","offer_id":56921826230654,"sku":"F61\/220 + S61\/182","price":2739.0,"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 Manual Hand Chipper with 10x10mm Blade","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sammic CF-5 is a manually operated hand chipper designed to produce consistently sized chips without the cost, footprint, or installation requirements of a powered machine. The operator pushes the potato through a blade block using a long-handled lever arm, and an automatic ejector clears the grid after each pass, keeping the blade ready for the next portion. It comes supplied as standard with a 10x10mm blade block — the most commonly specified cut for chips in UK catering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn practice, the CF-5 is well suited to kitchens where chipping is a regular but not continuous task.
