How we repair your Hobart Buffalo Chopper
A buffalo chopper has a rotating bowl that carries food under a high-speed knife assembly behind a hinged cover, chopping vegetables, meat and bread crumbs in commercial kitchens. A buffalo chopper is built around a motor, a drive system of gears or belts, switches and safety interlocks. A technician checks the motor and its brushes or capacitor, the drive train, the switches and interlocks, and blade or attachment condition.
Commercial mixers, slicers and grinders are core prep tools, so repairs are scheduled to keep prep lists on track.
