Electromechanical equipment allows the professional kitchen to process large quantities of food quickly, consistently and with minimal physical effort for staff. These appliances are particularly important in high-demand environments—restaurants with a large number of guests, catering businesses and food production companies, where manual food processing would not be economically viable.
Meat processing equipment
Meat mincers are essential equipment in restaurants, delicatessens and butcher shops—they grind meat to a precise and consistent texture. Professional meat mincers with a high throughput—150–400 kg/h—ensure fast processing for large-volume production. A meat massager (tumbler) for marinade absorption improves meat texture and speeds up the absorption process, reducing marinating time from hours to minutes.
A hamburger press ensures consistent shape and weight for patties—an essential appliance in hamburger and fast food restaurants, where portion uniformity is a key quality standard. Meat mixers and bone saws complement the meat processing equipment range. Explore Meat Mincers in our range.
Vegetable choppers
Professional vegetable choppers and cutters automate one of the most time-consuming kitchen preparation tasks. With interchangeable cutting discs, vegetables can be cut into various shapes—slices, strips, grated or small cubes. The speed of a vegetable chopper—40–120 kg/h depending on the model—far exceeds manual cutting speed.
Changing discs allows a single chopper to perform many different cutting operations, reducing the number of appliances needed. Potato peeling machines automate potato peeling and reduce staff workload in kitchen preparation. Explore Vegetable Choppers.
Dough kneading and mixing equipment
Dough kneaders are essential in pizza restaurants, bakeries and patisseries—they mechanically knead dough that requires significant physical effort by hand. Spiral dough kneaders are better suited for firm pizza dough, while horizontal kneaders are ideal for softer bread dough. Capacity ranges from 8 kg dough for compact models to 60+ kg for large-scale production models.
Planetary mixers with hook, paddle and whisk attachments are versatile in patisseries—for mixing cake batter, cream, whipped cream and mayonnaise. Hand mixers are a more mobile and affordable option for smaller volumes. Explore Dough Kneaders.
HACCP and electromechanical equipment
Electromechanical equipment that comes into contact with food must comply with food contact material safety requirements—all parts of the equipment that touch products must be made of stainless steel or food-safe plastic. After each shift, the equipment must be disassembled, washed and disinfected—meat mincers, vegetable choppers and mixers require thorough cleaning at connection points.
HACCP should include electromechanical equipment cleaning procedures and a preventive maintenance schedule. Annual mechanical wear checks ensure safe and precise operation of the equipment.
HoReCa usage scenarios
In a restaurant with in-house food preparation, a meat mincer and vegetable chopper are essential appliances that reduce the cost of purchased semi-finished products. In a bakery, a dough kneader is absolutely necessary—without it, large-scale bread production is not possible. In a catering business, large-volume food processing requires high-capacity vegetable choppers and cutters.

Frequently asked questions
Which meat mincer is suitable for a restaurant? For a restaurant serving 50–100 portions per day, a meat mincer with a throughput of 50–100 kg/h and a stainless steel body is suitable. A moisture-resistant motor and easily removable parts for cleaning are important features for intensive use. BHS helps choose the right model.
Can a planetary mixer replace a dough kneader? A planetary mixer with a hook attachment can knead small dough portions (up to 10 kg), but for a professional bakery or pizza restaurant where large volumes of dough need to be kneaded, a dedicated spiral dough kneader with higher power and durability is required.
