The Robot Coupe CL20 is a true kitchen classic for a reason. It’s not flashy, but it’s a powerhouse of reliability that you can count on day in, day out.

  • Pros: The build quality is exceptional; it feels solid and  ready for hard work.
  • Cons: Having to purchase the cutting discs separately feels like an essential missing part.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Northern Kitchen', a busy lunchtime spot in Newcastle upon Tyne, found their manual vegetable prep was creating a major bottleneck, leading to longer ticket times. They upgraded from knives to the Robot Coupe CL20 to increase their speed and  consistency.

"The CL20 immediately streamlined our entire prep process. What used to take two staff members over an hour now takes one person about 20 minutes. The uniformity of the cuts has also elevated the look of our salads and  coleslaws. It’s been a superb investment for us."

Robert Davies – Owner

The change resulted in a measured 75% reduction in vegetable preparation time, allowing for an extra 30 covers to be served during the peak lunch period.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack and  place the unit on a flat, stable, and  non-slip work surface.
  • Ensure it's positioned within reach of a standard 13A socket.
  • Before the first use, wash the removable hopper, pusher, and  ejector disc in warm, soapy water.
  • Select your desired cutting disc (sold separately), align it on the motor shaft, and  lock it into place.

Keeping It Going

  • Always unplug the machine from the wall before cleaning or changing discs.
  • The motor base should only be wiped down with a damp cloth – never submerge it in water.
  • All removable plastic and  metal parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher for convenience.
  • Regularly check your cutting discs for any signs of dullness or damage to ensure perfect cuts.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Veg Prep Machine

Not sure what to look for? Choosing the right vegetable preparation machine is a big decision, but focusing on a few key areas makes it much easier. Here are our top tips.

Consider Your Output

Be realistic about how many covers you serve. Match the machine's kg/hr output to your busiest day to ensure it can keep up without causing delays.

Check Disc Versatility

What do you need to make? Slices, julienne, batons, ripples, or gratings? Check the range of compatible discs to ensure the machine can produce all the cuts your menu requires.

Motor Power Matters

A stronger motor (like the 400W induction motor here) will handle hard, dense vegetables like beetroot and  carrots with ease, preventing jams and  ensuring a longer lifespan.

Prioritise Easy Cleaning

A machine that's a pain to clean won't get used. Look for models with easily removable parts that are dishwasher safe to save valuable time at the end of a shift.

Measure Your Space

Counter space is prime real estate in any kitchen. Measure the available area carefully and  check the machine's footprint (W x D) to guarantee a perfect fit.

How the Magnetic Safety System Protects Your Kitchen

Ever wondered what the 'magnetic safety system' actually does? It's one of the most important features on this Robot Coupe veg prep machine, designed purely to prevent accidents. Think of it like the safety guard on a power saw; the machine simply will not operate unless everything is correctly and  securely in place.

When you close the lid and  engage the pusher, powerful magnets align, completing a circuit that allows the motor to run. The second that lid is lifted or the pusher is moved out of position, the magnetic connection is broken, which instantly cuts power to the motor and  engages a brake to stop the blade from spinning. This means there's virtually no chance of accidental contact with a moving blade during operation, making it one of the safest ways to process vegetables at high speed.
