How to Change Blades on a Commercial Vegetable Cutter

Commercial vegetable cutters are widely used for simple, multi-function prep. Users often ask how to set blades for the cut they want. CHINENG explains below.

1. Installing vertical blades

1. Vertical blades cut stems and leafy vegetables, and turn centrifugal slices into shreds, segments, cubes, or other shapes. Fit the vertical blade that matches the pattern you need.

2. Machines usually ship with one hopper blade plus other sizes; custom blades are available on request.

2. Adjusting vertical cut size

1. Vertical cut size can be set from about 1–30 mm via the adjustable eccentric screw.

2. To reduce size: turn the eccentric so the slot opens upward, loosen the screw, and move it toward the eccentric center.

3. Adjusting slice thickness

1. The slicing unit suits hard produce such as potatoes and radishes for shredding and slicing.

2. Keep about 0.5–1 mm clearance between the blade on the drum wall/vanes and the pusher disc. Thickness is set with adjustment screws on both sides of the movable plate.

4. Speed and belt tension

1. Choose vertical-blade speed by cut size and produce: high for fine shreds; medium or high for coarser cuts.

2. Tension the V-belt with the rear adjusting screw (clockwise to tighten). Tension the slicer drive by adjusting the motor-plate nuts.

In summary: if you are unsure, ask after-sales support—blades are sharp and can cause injury. Follow the CHINENG website for more practical content.
