FIMAR CL/8 8 Litre Cutter for Professional Kitchens

A cutter slices, chops and emulsifies food by spinning a set of curved blades at high speed inside a sealed bowl. The blades generate a vortex that pulls ingredients towards the centre, ensuring even cutting without manual scraping. This method produces consistent textures for fillings, forcemeats, sauces and batters in a fraction of the time hand chopping would take.

To use the CL/8, the operator loads the bowl with up to 2.4 litres of ingredients, closes the transparent lid and selects the running time. The motor starts at 1400 rpm, driving the blades through the food until the timer stops the machine. The lid remains locked while the blades are in motion, preventing access until the cycle is complete. Once the blades have stopped, the operator lifts the lid, removes the bowl and transfers the prepared mixture to the next stage of production.

The CL/8 is built from stainless steel, with a clear polycarbonate lid that allows the operator to monitor the process without opening the machine. The base houses the motor and control panel, while the bowl locks into position for stability during operation.

The 0.75 kW motor draws power from either a single-phase 230 V or three-phase 400 V supply, making it compatible with standard commercial kitchen circuits. The 19 kg weight keeps the unit stable on a worktop, while the 240 mm width, 310 mm depth and 620 mm height allow it to fit beneath standard overhead cupboards.

The 8 litre bowl capacity is measured to the brim; the maximum working volume of 2.4 litres prevents overloading and ensures the blades can circulate the food freely. The 1400 rpm speed balances cutting efficiency with control, avoiding excessive heat build-up that could alter the texture of sensitive ingredients.

Cleaning involves removing the bowl and blades, washing them in warm soapy water, and wiping the base and lid with a damp cloth. The stainless steel surfaces resist corrosion, while the smooth contours of the bowl and lid minimise food residue.

The CL/8 is a standalone cutter; no variants or additional modules are listed for this model.

This cutter is catalogued under commercial food preparation equipment, specifically for professional kitchens requiring consistent, high-volume chopping and emulsifying.
