Vollrath Redco Manual Food Processors

Check out this video and learn about all the great products offered to you from Vollrath! From manual food processors instablooms and lettuce wedgers, there’s a product for any industry in the restaurant business.

Welcome to Vollrath University. I’m Chef Rich, and we’re here today to talk to you about the Vollrath line of manual food processors. The Redco line of food processors can handle a wide variety of tasks in the kitchen: fruit, vegetable, and other types of prep as well. The reasons that we like manual food processors: speed- up to over ten times faster than traditional methods. Labor costs- many times if you’re using less skilled labor or even if you have an operation that uses high school labor, they can use the manual processors versus powered food processors. We like them because we have higher quality. Preparing something fresh at the time you’re going to use it is always going to be better than buying something that’s been prepared off-site in another facility, and consistency. I think that’s probably one of the most important things about the manual processors. No matter who prepares the fruit or the vegetable, or other products that you’re using, they’re always going to look the same. And consistency and any of those products just helps an operation achieve those results that they want to achieve each and every time. The InstaBloom II blooming onion machine. Notice the redesign on this is much safer and easier to use. Competitive designs, the blade assembly can fall on your hands when using it; whereas, the Redco design now has it spring-loaded so it always returns the blades to the top position. Two hand operation for safety, much faster than doing this with a knife; very durable unit. Let’s talk about a high-margin item, a blooming onion- very high-profit item in a restaurant. Redco 5.0, the only unit on the market that can dice, slice, wedge, and core. On the wedger we can do four, six, eight, ten, and twelve sections. Six and eight sections on the corer. But again, the only unit on the market that can do all four of these with a simple change-out of the blades. Notice this thermal set design on the blades makes this changing out super easy. Also this sled leg design on the 5.0. Added strength. And the fact that you can slide a six inch deep sixth size pan underneath the unit for easy prep. The Redco Lettuce King I. Slice and shred lettuce, cabbage, peppers, cucumbers, melons, and even cooked chicken breasts. Eliminates 75% of the time and costs of shredding lettuce with a knife. This unit is much faster. It comes in 3/16”, 1/4”, 3/8”, and 3/4" blade assemblies. Two-year warranty and NSF. The Redco easy clean can openers. Featuring five different styles, we can cut up to a 16” can height. Each unit uses the patented quick-release blade carrier for easy cleaning. No other unit on the market has as fast and easy blade cleanout as this unit has. And the easy clean blades are finished with an anti-bacterial coating for increased safety. Also each unit can be used in a permanent installation, or, with an easy clamp-on design, portable installations as well. All cutting mechanisms are dishwasher safe, and the BCL7000, the Vollrath stainless steel top-of-the-line unit is completely dishwasher safe. And don’t forget these units also carry the two-year warranty and are NSF Certified. The Redco Wedgemaster II. Constructed of durable, dishwasher safe polycarbonate material. It has a well-balanced, stable footprint. Lemons, limes, oranges, onions. It makes prep for a bar or seafood restaurant, lemons and limes, very fast, very easy. So I hope we’ve shown you then the advantages of using the Redco line of manual food processors. Again, the Vollrath line of Redco processors help with speed much faster than traditional methods. Over ten times faster in some cases than what you can do with a knife. Labor costs: we can use less skilled labor or even high school labor if you have that in your operation to prepare foods the same way each and every time. Higher quality preparing on-site. Remember, fresh is best versus something that’s been prepared off-site and stored for a while before it gets to your operation. And then consistency. Doesn’t matter which product line you’re looking at, consistent results help operators achieve consistent results in their restaurants, right? Okay, so remember any product that you have with the Vollrath line is always supported with parts and service from our Vollrath service department.

Bought this slicer about a year ago and the blades that come with it are not very durable and don't maintain their sharpness. The blades have damaged the pusher and If you have to replace the blades and pusher, you might as well get another slicer. I will look for another one with the scalloped blades as they work a lot better and are more durable.

Blades break very easily. After a period of use the minerals in the water you use when it is cleaned eventually corrodes the blades and when you put an onion in to slice it will eventually break. Replacing the blades is very difficult also.

Outstanding piece of equipment! This machine allows me to free up labor to tend to other pressing things that need attention. It is so easy to use I had my son who is 11 try it and he used it with ease!
