Common Questions About Robot Coupe Food Processors

What is a Robot Coupe food processor used for?

These machines can be used to prep vegetables, grate cheese, and – depending on the model's design and blade attachments – mix emulsions and knead batters. Robot Coupe vegetable slicers are compatible with discs designed to chop, dice, grate, and julienne ingredients; some are also meant specifically for prepping french fries, whether your restaurant offers shoestring fries, waffles fries, or standard cuts.

How do I choose the right unit for my operation?

Buying a unit based on your operation's number of meals per service can be helpful when selecting the right machine for your commercial kitchen or commissary, since this is the system Robot Coupe uses to provide an estimation of performance. For commissaries and other operations that may not find the meals-per-service estimation useful, an hourly output for each unit is provided to help determine which can best serve your kitchen.

What capacities are available?

When choosing a Robot Coupe food processor, there are two capacities to consider: bowl capacity – measured in quarts – and production potential, measured by hourly output (in pounds) or meals per service. To look at those, we'll consider these machines in two groups: the cutter mixers and the continuous feed models.

A Robot Coupe cutter mixer may have a bowl capacity ranging from 2¹⁄₂ to 7 quarts and may be suitable for as few as 10 meals per service or as many as 100, depending on the model. These have hourly output estimations ranging from 440 to 1,655 pounds.

Similarly, a Robot Coupe continuous feed food processor offer a bowl capacity as generous as 7 quarts, but the largest models handle prep for as many as 400 meals per service. On the lower end, they offer 3.5-quart capacities with meal-per-service recommendations of 10 to 80. The hourly output estimations for these models range from 110 to 3,970 pounds.

How will disc compatibility affect my selection?

Robot Coupe food processors usually come with one or two standard discs, so operators should choose a machine based on the menu items offered and the ingredients your employees will need to prep. There are more than 50 total discs available, though not every Robot Coupe food processor is compatible with each one. To ensure you choose a unit that works with your menu, look over the product information and verify the one you're purchasing comes with or is compatible with the discs your kitchen requires.

To simplify this decision for some operators, certain units are available with discs for specific types of operations or concepts, including two CL50 packages: one for Mexican restaurants and one for pizza places. Mexican restaurants creating menu items such as fajitas, tacos, and pico de gallo can benefit from a Robot Coupe food processor with 3- and 5-millimeter grating discs, 3- and 5-millimeter slicing discs, and a 10-millimeter dicing kit, while the package for pizza parlors includes 2- and 4-millimeter slicing discs and a 7-millimeter grating disc, as well as the 10-millimeter dicing kit.
