Hobart 84186-1 – Buffalo Chopper w/ #12 Hub

Hobart 84186-1 – 18″ Food Cutter with #12 Attachment Hub

The Hobart 84186-1 is an 18″ Buffalo Chopper with an integrated #12 Attachment Hub, designed for kitchens that demand maximum versatility in a single footprint. Look, the reality of a high-volume kitchen is that gear failure isn’t an option when your prep schedule requires both bulk chopping and meat grinding. By sourcing from a professional commercial coffee and kitchen equipment distributor, you secure the 1 HP motor and the ability to power standard #12 attachments. This unit is the definitive multi-tool for high-volume food production.

Integrated #12 Hub and Dual-Function Drive

The Hobart 84186-1 features the same 18-inch rotating bowl as the standard model but includes a front-mounted #12 hub engineered to manage mechanical fatigue by powering grinders or vegetable slicers. This technical driver allows for simultaneous prep, calculating to a massive labor efficiency gain by consolidating multiple machines into one power unit. This means your staff can grind meat for sausage while chopping the onions in the bowl, protecting your profit margins through reduced equipment footprint and increased throughput. The unit ensures high sanitation efficiency with its burnished aluminum base and removable stainless steel components. The safety interlocks ensure that neither the hub nor the bowl can operate dangerously.
