Vegetable Preparation, Stage by Stage
Vegetable preparation is rarely one task — bulk cutting and slicing, bulb breaking and peeling, and grating or specialty cuts each use a differently shaped blade or drum. ATHAK's Vegetable Processing Machinery family covers all three, alongside hand-operated tools for smaller batches.

Choosing Between Models
Choosing a Vegetable Cutting Machine Size
The Vegetable Cutting Machine's three sizes exist specifically so a kitchen does not have to buy more capacity than it needs: Regular is rated 150-200 KG per hour, Deluxe 200-250 KG per hour, and Jumbo — a 2HP bowl-feed model — 500-600 KG per hour. Sizing up from Regular to Jumbo is roughly a fourfold jump in throughput, not a marginal upgrade.
Onion preparation has its own size ladder: the Onion Cutting Machine's 1HP model is rated 30-40 KG per hour and its 2HP model 70-80 KG per hour, while the dedicated Onion Slicer Machine (for uniform slices specifically, rather than chopping) is rated higher still at 125-200 KG per hour.

FAQ
Vegetable Preparation Questions
What is the difference between the Regular, Deluxe and Jumbo vegetable cutting machines?
Rated capacity: the Regular model is 150-200 KG per hour, the Deluxe 200-250 KG per hour, and the Jumbo (a 2HP bowl-feed model) 500-600 KG per hour. All three cut square, chip and slice shapes.
Do I need both a garlic bulb breaker and a garlic peeler?
For a full dry-peeling process, yes — they are two separate stages in ATHAK's catalogue. The Garlic Bulb Breaker Machine separates bulbs into cloves first, at 80-100 KG per hour; the Garlic Peeler Machine then peels those cloves, at 10-12 KG per hour.
What machine handles high-volume onion preparation?
The Onion Slicer Machine is rated 125-200 KG per hour for uniform slices, and the Onion Cutting (Chopping) Machine is rated 30-40 KG per hour on its 1HP model or 70-80 KG per hour on its 2HP model.
Are hand-operated vegetable cutters still useful alongside motorised machines?
Yes, for smaller batches or garnish-level quantities where a motorised machine's throughput is not needed — ATHAK lists the Hand Salad Cutter, Hand Chilly Cutter, Hand Potato Slice Machine and Bhaji Cutter for this purpose.
