Vollrath Chop, Dice, Slice & Wedge

The Vollrath Dicer: What You Need to Know

For locations serving fresh french fries, salads, salsas, and more, fresh vegetables must be chopped daily. Although this is a time-consuming task with a knife, Vollrath slicers and dicers give operators the ability to uniformly slice, dice, and julienne a high volume of vegetables with speed and precision. Many Vollrath dicer parts are also designed to reduce danger to fingers when compared to chopping and dicing with a knife.

Common Questions About Vollrath Slicers

What Vollrath slicer parts are replaceable?

Many parts for Vollrath cutters and slicers are replaceable. Depending on the specific model, the blade assembly, blade cone, pusher, push block, adaptor plate, drum ring, slide rod, vegetable chute, or wall-mounting bracket may be available for individual purchase. Since some machine parts tend to get worn down over time, replacing individual parts of your slicer or dicer can help extend its lifespan at an affordable cost.

Can you slice frozen meat with a Vollrath slicer?

No. Frozen meat, cheese, fish, fruit, and vegetables should never be sliced on any slicer. Doing so can damage the motor or blade and cause costly repairs.

Can you use a Vollrath meat slicer to slice vegetables and cut cheese?

Many Vollrath meat slicers are also rated for cheese slicing. It's important to carefully check the slicer's details and specifications before making a purchase, because some models aren't built to handle cheese slicing, which can wear down the motor. Make sure to select a model that can handle the volume of cheese you slice each day.

To slice lettuce, tomatoes, or onions, a meat slicer can be used, but it may not be the best tool. A vegetable cutter designed to slice vegetables can be a safer and faster choice.

Meat slicers are usually more expensive than vegetable choppers and require more maintenance, meaning it costs more to add another meat slicer than it does to buy a vegetable chopper. Most vegetable choppers have multiple blade options as well, meaning they can slice, dice, and julienne.

Is a manual vegetable chopper worth it?

Vollrath manual food processors and vegetable choppers can perform different tasks than many electric food processors. A standard food processor, for example, can't produce uniformly cut french fries the way a Vollrath french fry cutter can. If your restaurant serves sliced, diced, or shredded lettuce, onions, tomatoes, cheese, mushrooms, or peppers, a manual food chopper can streamline ingredient prep and improve product uniformity.
