Types of Commercial Food Processors

The most important factor in choosing the correct food processor is to select a machine that is right for the type and quantity of food you want to process.

Blixers

Combination mixer and blender, is ideal, with emulsifying and liquefying options that can blend sauces and soups without too much aeration plus the normal chopping and grinding features of a food processor.

Bowl Mixers

Chop or grind relatively small amounts of core ingredients like garlic, shallots, or basil.

Combination Models

Feature a variety of cutting blades and can perform multiple tasks, such as slicing, shredding, kneading dough, and julienne, plus normal chopping and grinding functions.

Vegetable Prep

Have a continuous feed chute that allows you to chop, dice, shred, grate, or julienne large amounts of vegetables at a time.

Heavy Duty

Floor blixers and food processors are designed for large operations and can mix, blend, or process up to 1,200 lbs. per hour.

Vertical Cutters

Feature a continuous feed chute and a large capacity stainless steel bowl, have a variety of blade attachments, and can process larger volumes than a standard bowl mixer.

Caring For Your Food Processor

Food processors should last seven to ten years if used and maintained properly. Typically, a food processor does not require much maintenance, since the motor is usually a sealed unit.

However, a few basic steps can be taken to maximize your food processor’s life:
1. Wash food processor bowls, attachments, blades, covers, and pushers regularly.
Most are dishwasher safe. Always use the food pusher that comes with your unit to guide food into the processor. Not only is it unsafe to use other objects or hands, but damage to the unit could also result.

2. Don't overload the machine.
It’s important to size the processor according to the types and quantities of foods you wish to process. Too small of a machine or one without enough horsepower for more dense foods will not last as long or work as efficiently as a larger one.

Blades and attachments become dull over time and should be replaced. Purchasing replacement food processor parts, including blades and attachments, bowls, and discharge plates is easy and fast over the internet.
