Very nice quality Bowl Chopper

I am very pleased with this bowl chopper. I have an older one with a beautiful maple handle that was handed down from my grandmother. My daughter in law loved mine and I wanted of find one for her. I had been looking for a while before I found this one. She was very pleased.

I�ve used my mom�s old fashioned wooden handle bowl chopper for many years and this one is just as comfortable and just as high quality.

Anybody using a bowl cutter AKA: Buffalo Chopper??

Hello All

I recently bought three 14" bowl choppers (2 Hobart, 1 Fleetwood) from a school district.  I have finished refurbishing the Fleetwood and am mostly done with one of the Hobarts.  I plan to sell the Fleetwood and one of the Hobarts to pay for the one I keep. 

I mostly wanted one for emulsified sausages and am hoping someone has some tips on using one or personal experiences to share.  Aside from what I've read in a couple of the Marianski's books and their website I'm starting from scratch with using these critters.

Fleetwood FC14 D Bowl Cutter , fast and slow accessory drive hubs that I don't recognize, otherwise similar specs to the Hobart below.              


The business end of the Fleetwood.


Hobart , 120V, 1/2 hp, #12 hub, bowl rotates 22 RPM while knives turn RPM.


The third one is an older 220V single phase Hobart with #12 hub that I will likely have the bowl, cover, comb etc retinned for before selling it.  I'll know more when I get a chance to tear it down and really clean it though.  It was in storage for a long time in a dusty basement and the surfaces that feel rougher than I would like may just need a good cleaning.

Thanks and I hope you all have a great weekend.

Lance JJ, I figure that a refrigerated bowl would be a help too.  Marianski mentions using crushed or shaved ice to keep the blades sharper longer which makes sense to me.  In terms of refrigerating the bowl to help keep the product cold while cutting I suspect that the older units with the tinned cast iron bowl would have a bit of an advantage as there is a lot more mass in those bowls than the SS ones.

Nicegirl, I've wanted to try one out for years so when these came up for auction a while back and the price didn't hit nosebleed levels (well, for two out of three  ) I couldn't resist taking the plunge.  For the most part, the only way we can justify buying items like this or our other commercial equipment are for me to buy and refurbish one or two for sale so we can pay for what we keep.  I hope you aren't in the forest  fire or smoke areas.

Dan, you have a good eye if that were a Hobart but, yes, that's the correct blade rotation for the Fleetwood.  The blade starts a good 1/4" off the bowl surface near the center of the bowl and sweeps to about 1/16-1/32" at the outter rim of the bowl.  The bowl scraper is cast into the outer part of the cover and turns the product back towards the center of the bowl.  I suspect the intent of the design is to pin larger particles under the knife and cut them as it rotates closer to the rim. 

Lan Elec who made the Fleetwood unit is no longer in business but there is a parts house in NJ that stocks some (but not all) the parts.  I don't know much about the Fleetwood cutters but there iNATO Stock Mumbers (NSN) for the 220V and 19" three phase shipboard versions.  My 120V unit was made in and as I see some coming up for auction on the military surplus site in working condition (govliquidation.com) they seem to be as durable as other heavy duty commercial equipment.

An 18-19" cutter is what I think I'd eventually want so I can make bigger batches and maybe tinker with makinf a standard base for hot dogs, coneys etc to make things go quicker.  What I guess I'm looking for is any input technique other than truely sharp knoes, cold meat, fat and bowl and crushed ice.  I'd also like to know roughly how long I can expect to be cutting for a 5-6 pound batch of emulsified meat.

I may have asked before but, where in CNY are you?  We're on Center Street Rd. in Sennett.  If you're familiar with Elderberry Pond, the organic farm, market and restaurant, our farm is next to theirs.

Lance I suspect the biggest of the industrial bowl cutters and vertical cutters could dim the neighors light when you turn them on.  The same school district I got the bowl cutters from had a Hobart vcm 40 vertical cutter/chopper for sale.  I thnk it only went for around $1,500 with tax and buyers premium.  They are rated to cut and mix 20-30 pounds of sausage in 1-2 minutes or 35 pounds of potatoes in 15-20 seconds..  Even that one was 10 hp 440V three phase.  I've seen ads for cutte/rmixers that have capacities in the hundreds of pounds at which have cooking and vacuum capabilites (not sure why the vacuum?) and which probably come with their own zip code.  I like bigger equipment and have the space for it but even that VCM 40 would mean making sausage only a few times a year.

I like the metric recipies though.  One thing I like about using metric measures for seasonings and cures is the ability to painlessly scale up or down.  I use a fiearm cartridge reloading scale to measure the tiny amounts sometimes need for 1 kg test batches.  It'll give me the ability to measure less than 1/ of an ounce or 1/150 of a gram which is more than I can pratically need for most recipies.

JJ, what part of NJ are you in?  We have a son and his family in Middletown near Princeton and Rutgers.

Lance
