Food Prep Blades, Discs & Accessories

These are the cutting, shaping and handling components that fit inside food processors, vegetable prep machines and similar equipment. They include slicing and grating discs, S-blades, serrated blades, forming cylinders, disc protectors, pushers and cleaning tools. Buying the right matched part keeps your machine running at the output your kitchen depends on, and prevents damage caused by ill-fitting or worn-out components.

The range covers cutting blades in smooth and serrated profiles, slicing and grating discs in multiple thicknesses, forming cylinders and meatball moulds for portion-shaping attachments, disc protectors, extra pushers and exactitubes, motor shaft brushes, and dedicated blade cleaning tools. Brands include Robot Coupe, Sirman, Dito Sama, HALLDE, Apuro, Dynamic, Yasaki, Matfer Bourgeat, Brice and Chef Inox, covering a broad spread of machine models.

Match the part number on your existing component first — it is usually stamped or moulded into the body. If that is worn away, use your machine's model number and cross-reference it against the product listing. Robot Coupe parts, for example, are listed with the compatible series clearly noted, such as R502, CL50 or Blixer 7. If you are still unsure, our team can help you cross-check before you order.

Yes. A finer slicing disc produces thinner, more uniform cuts suited to salads and garnishes, while a coarser disc handles root vegetables and proteins with less resistance and faster throughput. Choosing the wrong gauge tends to show up as ragged edges, motor strain or slower cycle times. Most machines accept a range of disc gauges, so it is worth having two or three on hand for different prep tasks.

Most blades and discs are designed for tool-free swaps — you lift out the old component and seat the new one according to the machine's manual. Forming cylinders and motor shaft brushes may need a few more steps. Always isolate the machine from power before changing any blade or disc. If your machine is under a service agreement, check whether self-fitting a part affects that arrangement before you proceed.

There is no fixed interval — replacement frequency depends on volume, the hardness of ingredients processed and how well the part is cleaned and stored. A disc used on hard root vegetables daily will dull faster than one used on soft produce. The practical sign to replace is when cut quality drops: ragged edges, uneven thickness or the machine working noticeably harder are all indicators. Keeping a spare on the shelf avoids unplanned downtime.

Rinse immediately after use to prevent food residue drying onto the cutting edges. Most stainless steel discs and blades can go through a commercial dishwasher, but check the manufacturer's guidance for plastic components such as pushers and forming cylinders, as repeated high-temperature cycles can affect tolerances. Store blades in a blade cleaning tool or a dedicated holder — never loose in a drawer — to protect both the edge and your team's hands.

Generally, no. Disc hub dimensions, drive shaft profiles and bowl diameters vary between manufacturers and even between model families within the same brand. Forcing a mismatched disc risks damaging the bowl, the drive shaft or the disc itself. Stick to parts listed as compatible with your specific machine model. Where a part is cross-compatible, the product listing will say so explicitly.

Yes. Forming cylinders, hamburger-forming cylinders and meatball moulds are accessories that attach to compatible prep machines to portion and shape proteins consistently. Brands such as Robot Coupe carry a range of cylinder diameters to suit different portion sizes. These accessories are listed alongside blades and discs because they share the same machine interface and ordering process.

Pricing varies considerably across the range — a single pusher or cleaning tool sits at a different price point to a full set of slicing discs or a motor shaft brush for a large-capacity machine. Most units sit around modest smallwares pricing, though specialist components for high-capacity models can be higher. Members save off RRP on every item in this category, so signing up before you order is worth doing if you are buying multiple parts.
