Commercial French Fry Cutters

Cut Prep Times With Commercial French Fry Cutters

Commercial French fry cutters are manual or automatic food prep equipment designed to cut potato slices with consistent shape and size. French fries are the primary profit drivers for any foodservice establishment. From full-serve restaurants to bars and fast-food stalls, customers crave french fries. Therefore, the most frequent food prepping task in commercial kitchens is cutting potatoes. Commercial french fry cutters minimize the time and effort it takes to slice uniform pieces. 

Speed and efficiency are top priorities in restaurant kitchens, so commercial french fry cutters feature a user-friendly design. They have a block of blades in the shape of a grid and a lid. The potato goes through the grid as the lid is pushed or pressed manually or automatically. The result is uniform slices. You can change the blade cartridge to get different slice sizes. The most common thickness is 3/8 inch, but most manufacturers offer blades that make 1/4 or 1/2-inch square cuts.

Besides slice thickness, it is also possible to customize the cut style. Although square-cut slices are the standard, you can get wedged slices to go with your steaks. For example, Nemco 55450-8 French Fry Cutter has 8-section wedging blades to cut a raw potato into steak-style fries. Most commercial French fry cutters also work well with other soft and hard veggies. You can cut celery sticks, chop onions, or wedge lemons. Sweet potatoes are much harder, and not all french fry cutters are intended to process them. Brands often specify the suggested use of their units in product manuals.

Commercial French fry cutters are available in manual or automatic models. The blade assembly, handle, and body engineering enables one-stroke processing of even the biggest and toughest potatoes. Automatic models are electric or air-powered. They do the whole job with a button push, and your choice will rely on the capacity requirements. For instance, you can prefer a machine like Nemco Monster Airmatic fry cutter for higher volume operations. The pneumatic cylinder will effortlessly cut up to 720 large potatoes an hour.
