Sammic CK-38V Combi Vegetable Prep & Food Processor

The Sammic CK-38V is a combination vegetable preparation machine and bowl cutter in a single unit. Rather than running two separate machines for cutting and processing tasks, the CK-38V handles both functions from one compact footprint — vegetable slicing, dicing and grating via interchangeable discs on one side, and a bowl cutter function on the other, using an eight-litre stainless steel bowl with polycarbonate lid. This makes it a practical choice for kitchens that need flexibility without dedicating excessive bench space to food preparation equipment.

In a working kitchen environment, the CK-38V is built around a brushless motor, which maintains consistent torque across its speed range rather than dropping off under load. The practical effect is a more uniform cut quality when working through dense vegetables or larger prep batches, and less noise compared to conventionally motored machines of this type. The integrated Force Control System provides an acoustic alert when the motor approaches its pre-set load threshold, which helps protect the machine and signals to operators when they are pushing capacity.

The combination of cutter discs and grids supports over 70 different cut types and grating grades when accessories are used in combination, covering most standard prep tasks from julienne and slicing through to fine grating. The bowl cutter side includes a time-programmable cycle, a pulse function, and a reverse mode for mixing rather than cutting. Key operational advantages include:

• Dual-function design reduces bench space requirements and equipment outlay
• Consistent cut quality across a range of vegetables and prep volumes
• Brushless motor reduces noise and maintenance compared to brush-driven alternatives
• Straightforward strip-down of lid, hopper and plunger for end-of-service cleaning
• NSF-certified construction for compliance with food-contact hygiene standards

From an installation standpoint, the CK-38V requires a standard single-phase electrical supply and a suitable stable work surface with adequate clearance for the lateral product output chute. The lateral discharge directs cut product away from the machine rather than forward, which keeps the immediate work area cleaner during prep. It is worth noting that slicing discs and dicing discs are not included in the standard supply and must be ordered separately — this is worth factoring into your initial order to avoid delays at commissioning.

This machine is well suited to mid-size catering operations — contract caterers, hotel kitchens, busy pub and restaurant kitchens, and education or healthcare catering sites — where daily prep volumes justify a dedicated combination processor. For operations with very high throughput requirements or continuous production demands, a heavier-duty single-purpose vegetable preparation machine or a larger-capacity processor may be a more appropriate choice.
