Sammic CF-5 Manual Hand Chipper with 10x10mm Blade

The 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.

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 over a busy prep period. Suction feet hold the unit stable on the worktop without any permanent fixing or clamping.

Practical benefits for kitchen teams include:

• Consistent chip size and shape 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 between services

As a manually operated unit, output depends on operator pace rather than a fixed mechanical rate. For kitchens producing chips continuously throughout service, a powered chipping machine is the more practical choice. The CF-5 is best suited to operations where chipping happens in batches — during prep rather than on demand at pace. A collecting bowl is not included and will need to be sourced separately. Optional blade blocks are available as accessories if your menu calls for more than one cut profile.

If you are unsure whether a manual chipper will meet your service demands, or want to talk through realistic output and blade options, the team is happy to help you work it out before you order.
