Overview
The KWS BC-400 is a commercial buffalo chopper and bowl cutter with a 1350W, 1.5HP motor, a 15.7 inch stainless steel bowl rated for 9 lbs, and an anodized aluminum alloy base. A safety interlock keeps the motor off unless the bowl and cover are locked in place.
One buyer flagged the bowl cover as awkward, since it sits above the blade and is held in place by four screws, making cleanup slower than expected. The safety interlock is a standard feature on this class of machine, not a limitation unique to this unit.
- 1350W / 1.5HP motor
- 15.7 inch stainless steel bowl
- 9 lb batch capacity
- Safety-locked bowl and cover interlock
Who it's for
Sausage makers and small commercial kitchens processing several pounds of meat or produce at a time will get the most use out of this. It suits buyers who have room for a dedicated, heavy stationary machine rather than one moved often between counters.
Pros and cons
- Cuts sausage-prep time considerably over hand chopping
- Stainless bowl and aluminum base for repeated use
- Safety interlock blocks motor until bowl and cover locked
- Bowl cover fixed by four screws, slow to clean
- Heavy unit, benefits from a dedicated rolling worktable
- Cover sits above blade, awkward when pushing ingredients
Performance notes
Two blades spin inside the stainless bowl while the bowl itself rotates, driven by the 1.5HP motor to pulverize meat and vegetables in bulk batches. The safety interlock requires both the bowl and its cover to be locked in place before the motor will engage, and the 9 lb capacity handles larger batches than a typical countertop processor.
