Sammic CA-31 Vegetable Preparation Machine

The Sammic CA-31 is a floor or countertop vegetable preparation machine designed for regular, high-volume use in professional kitchens. It handles a broad range of cutting tasks — slicing, dicing, grating, shredding and julienne — using interchangeable discs and grids that allow operators to produce a wide variety of cuts from a single machine. The control board is digital and straightforward to operate, keeping training time to a minimum even in kitchens with frequent staff changeover.

In a busy kitchen environment, consistent cut quality matters as much as speed. The CA-31 is built to deliver uniform results across a full service period, reducing the variation that comes with manual prep and helping kitchens maintain portion and presentation standards at volume. The single-speed motor block is well matched to the demands of continuous veg prep during peak preparation windows.

From a practical standpoint, several design choices make daily operation more manageable:

• Lateral product ejection reduces the counter depth required, useful in kitchens with limited prep space
• The lever and lid are removable without tools, keeping cleaning straightforward at the end of service
• Stainless steel construction throughout supports hygiene compliance and stands up to the daily rigours of a commercial kitchen
• A wide disc and grid range means the machine can cover most prep requirements without additional equipment

Installation is relatively straightforward — the CA-31 operates on a standard electrical supply and does not require any water or gas connection. It is best positioned on a stable, appropriately sized work surface with sufficient clearance for the hopper and lateral ejection chute. Operators should confirm the worktop height and surrounding space are suitable before positioning the machine permanently.

The CA-31 is well suited to mid-sized catering operations such as restaurant kitchens, hotel kitchens, contract catering sites and institutional catering where veg prep volumes are consistent and daily. For lighter occasional use, a smaller or simpler model may represent better value; for very high-throughput central production kitchens, a larger-capacity machine from the range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether the CA-31 is the right fit for your prep volumes or kitchen setup, the team at Advantage are happy to talk it through before you commit.
