What Is a Commercial Food Processor?

A commercial food processor is a type of appliance used in commercial kitchens to process food that requires repetitive tasks such as slicing, shredding, chopping, and julienning. Today, commercial food processors almost exclusively refer to appliances that are driven by electricity and used in professional kitchens while manual food processors are mostly used in home kitchens. 

A restaurant food processor is similar to a commercial bar blender and a commercial food blender. The one big difference, though, is that a commercial grade food processor uses interchangeable blades and disks or attachments rather than the fixed blade used by blenders. In addition, restaurant food processors typically feature shorter bowls than the typical thinner and longer jars used in blenders. There are also combination food processor/blenders that feature the best of both worlds.

What Commercial Grade Food Processor Is Best for You?

Before selecting the best commercial food processor for your commercial establishment, there are several factors that you need to examine beforehand. One important consideration is the horsepower of the unit that you are looking to purchase. Food-service kitchens that are going to use a commercial food processor for two hours daily at most will benefit from a unit that is around one horsepower or less. For those medium to large businesses that will need to use restaurant food processors all day long, a higher horsepower rating will be a better choice. 

Another important consideration before getting a restaurant food processor is the size of container. Food establishments that offer large family-style servings in their menu will need festaurant food processors that have larger capacities while smaller establishments that serve single-size meals will benefit from a commercial food processor that has a relatively smaller food container.

A Brief History of the Precursors to Restaurant Food Processors

One of the first electric food processors was the Starmix, introduced by German company Electrostar way back in 1946. Food processors continued to evolve until the 1960s, when the first Robot Coupe food processor was invented. Robo-Coupe is now the food-service industry leader in the development and refinement of commercial food processors and vegetable preparation units.
