Hobart 84186-2 – Buffalo Chopper Food Processor

Hobart 84186-2 – 18″ Industrial Food Cutter for High-Volume Prep

The Hobart 84186-2 is an 18″ Buffalo Chopper (Food Cutter) engineered for high-output kitchens that require consistent texture for salads, spreads, and meat products without the friction heat of a vertical processor. Look, the reality of a high-volume kitchen is that gear failure isn’t an option when you are prepping 15 pounds of product every minute. By sourcing from a professional commercial coffee and kitchen equipment distributor, you secure a 1 HP motor and a 22-RPM rotating stainless steel bowl. This unit is the ultimate solution for high-volume commissary kitchens.

1 HP Motor and 18″ Stainless Steel Rotating Bowl

The Hobart 84186-2 features an 18-inch stainless steel bowl and dual cutlery-grade stainless steel knives designed to manage mechanical fatigue during heavy-duty cycles. The rotating bowl design ensures that every piece of product passes under the blades consistently, calculating to a significant labor efficiency gain by preventing the “mushing” associated with standard food processors. This means your facility achieves a “clean-cut” texture for coleslaw and chicken salad, protecting your profit margins through superior product appearance and shelf life. The unit ensures high sanitation efficiency with its seamless, easy-to-clean aluminum housing and tool-free blade removal.
