Food Preparation Equipment

Food prep machinery earns its money in labour saved. A slicer, mincer or vacuum packer that takes an hour a day out of prep pays for itself quickly, and it also makes portioning consistent in a way hand work never is.

This section covers slicers and mincers, bone saws, food processors and vegetable prep, dough equipment and vacuum packing. Brands include Matador, Dito Sama, Yasaki, PrepPal and ConvectMax.

For butchery, the Matador HSM-120D slicing and mincing machine handles both jobs in one footprint, and the Matador JG400AH free-standing bone saw takes the heavy cuts. For extended shelf life and sous-vide work, the Yasaki ZJ-VM500S2C double chamber vacuum packer is a floor-standing unit built for volume.

Check guarding and local training requirements before putting any cutting equipment into service.
