Yasaki Double Speeds Bowl Cutter 12L BC-12V2

The Yasaki BC-12V2 is a 12 litre bowl cutter and cutter mixer in full stainless steel, with two speeds — 1,500 and 2,200 rpm — plus a pulse function. The transparent lid has an opening to add ingredients while the machine runs and carries a scraper that both keeps the lid clear and brings product back off the bowl wall. It needs a 15 A supply.

Why operators choose the BC-12V2

• 12 litre bowl - the largest in this range — genuine production batches of farce, paste, mousse and breadcrumb work
• Two speeds, 1,500 and 2,200 rpm, plus pulse — note the top speed: 2,200 rpm on this model, not the 2,800 rpm of the smaller bowls. Read it per model rather than assuming across the range
• Lid opening to add ingredients while running — oil into an emulsion, stock into a farce - the machine builds a recipe rather than just processing one charge
• Lid-mounted scraper — two jobs at once: it keeps the transparent lid clear so you can see the product, and brings material back off the bowl wall
• Full stainless steel construction — not a stainless shell on a plastic body - it washes down and lasts
• Cutlery steel knife — holds an edge through commercial duty rather than dulling in a month
• Powerful ventilated motor — built for continuous running rather than short bursts
• Safety microswitch — it will not run with the lid off
• Built to international safety and hygiene standards — an explicit compliance statement from the manufacturer rather than an implied one

Specifications

Venue suitability

The BC-12V2 suits butchers, smallgoods producers, caterers and production kitchens making farces, pastes, mousses and breadcrumbs in 12 litre batches. At 376 mm wide it still fits a prep bench; the constraint to settle first is the 15 A supply.

Installation & delivery

It needs a 15 A supply. A 15 A plug has a larger earth pin and will not fit a standard 10 A socket, so confirm the circuit or budget for an electrician. It stands 623 mm tall, so allow clearance above to lift the lid and remove the bowl and knife. At 29 kg it is a one or two-person lift. Site it near a sink — the knife and bowl come out for washing.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Will the BC-12V2 run from a normal power point?

No. At 1.5 kW it needs a 15 A outlet. A 15 A plug has a larger earth pin and will not fit a standard 10 A socket, so confirm the circuit or budget for an electrician.

Q: What are the two speeds?

1,500 and 2,200 rpm, plus a pulse function. Note that the top speed on this 12 litre model is 2,200 rpm - the smaller bowls in this range run to a different figure, so check the model you are comparing.

Q: Can I add ingredients while it is running?

Yes. The transparent lid has an opening for exactly that, which is what makes emulsions and progressive mixes possible rather than single-charge batches.

Q: What does the lid scraper do?

Two things. It keeps the transparent lid clear so you can actually see the product, and it brings material back off the bowl wall so the mix processes evenly instead of leaving a ring behind.

Q: How does the 12 litre compare with the smaller bowls?

Bowl size and top speed. This is the 12 litre model at 1,500 and 2,200 rpm. The 5 and 8 litre models take smaller batches and run a different speed pair, and their warranty terms differ too - so compare the specific model rather than the range.

Q: What warranty does the BC-12V2 come with?

Covered for 2 years on parts and labour. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
