Hobart 84145-2 – Buffalo Chopper Food Processor

Hobart 84145-2 – 14″ Compact Buffalo Chopper for Precise Batch Prep

The Hobart 84145-2 is a 14″ Buffalo Chopper Food Processor designed for mid-volume kitchens that need the precise “clean-cut” texture of an industrial chopper in a smaller footprint. Look, the reality of a high-volume kitchen is that gear failure isn’t an option even when you’re working in a more compact space. By sourcing from a professional commercial coffee and kitchen equipment distributor, you secure a 1/2 HP motor and a 14-inch rotating bowl. This unit is the ultimate solution for restaurants that specialize in house-made spreads and fresh-prepped salads.

1/2 HP Motor and 14″ Precision Rotating Bowl

The Hobart 84145-2 features a 14-inch stainless steel bowl and high-speed stainless steel knives designed to manage mechanical fatigue during daily batch prep. The rotating bowl system ensures that even small quantities are processed uniformly, calculating to a significant labor efficiency gain over hand-chopping or using a standard processor. This means your kitchen achieves a consistent texture for sauces, garnishes, and meats, protecting your profit margins through reduced waste and high-speed execution. The unit ensures high sanitation efficiency with its burnished aluminum base and removable bowl. The safety interlock prevents the motor from engaging if the bowl cover is not locked into place.
