Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: The motor is surprisingly powerful and  quiet for its size.
  • Cons: It’s a dedicated processor, so no slicing or grating attachments are included.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Coastal Kitchen', a bustling seaside bistro in Brighton, needed to upgrade their prep equipment. Their small, domestic food processor was struggling to keep up with the demand for their famous roasted red pepper soup and  house-made sauces, causing frustrating delays during service.

"The Modena HR9 has completely streamlined our prep. What used to take us three or four batches now takes one. It's powerful, reliable, and  the consistency is spot on every single time. It just sits on the counter and  gets the job done without any fuss."

Michael Davies – Head Chef

By switching to the Modena HR9, The Coastal Kitchen reduced its daily prep time for core sauces and  soups by 45 minutes, freeing up valuable chef time and  ensuring product was always ready for service.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable, and  level work surface to prevent any rocking during operation.
  • Ensure the machine is placed near a dedicated 13 amp socket, avoiding the use of extension cords.
  • Before its first use, thoroughly wash the bowl, lid, and  blade with warm, soapy water.
  • Familiarise yourself with the safety lock mechanism – the motor will not engage until the bowl and  lid are correctly secured.

Keeping It Going

  • Always clean the bowl, lid, and  blade immediately after use to prevent food from drying on.
  • Never submerge the motor base in water. Wipe it down with a damp cloth instead.
  • Regularly check the S-blade for any signs of dullness or damage to ensure optimal performance.
  • Store the unit in a dry place, with the lid and  bowl properly assembled to keep it clean and  ready for action.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Food Processor

Not sure what to look for in a food processor? We've got you covered. Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get the right machine for your kitchen.

Bowl Capacity

Consider your batch sizes. A large capacity food processor for restaurants, like this 9-litre model, is ideal for prepping sauces, soups and  fillings in bulk, saving significant time.

Motor Power & Type

Look for a powerful motor (300W+) and  consider a direct-drive system. It offers better reliability and  more consistent power for tackling tougher ingredients without straining.

Safety Features

Essential in a busy kitchen. Interlocking bowls and  lids that prevent the blade from spinning when unsecured are a must-have feature to protect your staff.

Build Material

Stainless steel bowls are durable, easy to clean, and  won't absorb odours or stains from ingredients like tomatoes or spices. A sturdy base prevents wobbling.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for models with removable parts and  smooth surfaces. The fewer nooks and  crannies there are, the quicker and  more hygienic the cleanup process will be.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is this processor best used for?

A: It excels at chopping, mixing, and  puréeing. It's perfect for making soups, sauces, pastes, dressings, pâtés, and  processing vegetables.

Q: Can it knead dough?

A: This model is not designed for kneading dough. Its S-blade is optimised for cutting and  blending, not for developing gluten.

Q: Can I process hot liquids in it?

A: It's always best to let liquids cool slightly before processing. Extremely hot liquids can create pressure inside the sealed unit and  may damage the components over time.

Q: How long can it run for continuously?

A: For best results and  to protect the motor, it's recommended to run it in short bursts or for a few minutes at a time, especially with very thick mixtures. Always refer to the user manual for specific guidance.

Q: Is the blade difficult to clean safely?

A: The blade is very sharp. It's best to remove it carefully, wash it under running water with a brush, and  avoid leaving it to soak where it might not be visible.

Q: Does it come with any other attachments or blades?

A: The Modena HR9 comes with the standard, highly efficient 'S' blade for chopping and  puréeing. It is a specialised unit and  does not include other attachments.

Q: What kind of plug does it have?

A: It comes fitted with a standard UK 3-pin, 13 amp plug, so you can plug it into any standard socket.

Q: Is it very noisy?

A: For a commercial machine of this power, it operates at a reasonable noise level. The direct-drive motor is generally quieter than belt-driven alternatives.

Its simple design means less can go wrong, reducing downtime and  costly maintenance bills. Staff can learn to use it in minutes, ensuring operational consistency no matter who is on shift. This focus on durability and  simplicity is why so many professional kitchens trust Modena to form the backbone of their prep line, delivering reliable performance day after demanding day.

What's the Big Deal About a Direct-Drive Motor?

Ever wondered why some motors are more powerful and  reliable than others? The Modena HR9 uses a 'direct-drive' motor, and  it makes a huge difference. Think of it like this: many standard appliances use belts and  gears to transfer power from the motor to the blade, a bit like a bicycle chain. Over time, those parts can slip, wear out, and  break, leading to a loss of power and  potential breakdowns.

A direct-drive motor connects the power source straight to the blade. There are no belts to snap or gears to strip. All 370w of power goes exactly where you need it, resulting in more efficient chopping, better performance with tough ingredients, and  far greater long-term reliability. It’s a simpler, more robust system designed for the tough life of a professional kitchen food processor.
