Yasaki Double Speeds 8L Table Top Cutter Mixer / Bowl Cutter BC-8V2

The Yasaki BC-8V2 is an 8 litre table top cutter mixer and bowl cutter with two speeds — 1,500 and 2,800 rpm — plus a pulse function, driven by a 1,500 W motor. The polycarbonate lid carries a built-in scraper and is designed so liquids can be added while the machine runs, which is what makes emulsions and progressive mixes possible rather than single-shot batches. It needs a 15 A supply.

Why operators choose the BC-8V2

• 8 L food-grade stainless bowl — a real production batch for herbs, breadcrumbs, minced meat, mousses, stuffings, creams and pastry work
• Two speeds plus pulse — 1,500 rpm for a controlled chop, 2,800 rpm for a fine paste, and pulse for the cuts that need judgement rather than duration
• Lid-mounted scraper — brings product back off the bowl wall without stopping and opening - a ring of unprocessed product on the wall is product that never gets mixed
• Liquids can be added while it runs — oil into an emulsion, stock into a farce, so the machine builds a recipe instead of just chopping one
• 1,500 W heavy duty motor — sized for continuous commercial duty rather than short intermittent bursts
• Safety microswitch — it will not run with the lid off
• Everything dishwasher safe except the blade — the blade is hand-wash only; the rest of the accessories go through the machine
• Stainless steel housing — wipes down and survives a commercial prep bench

Specifications

Venue suitability

The BC-8V2 suits restaurants, caterers, delis and production kitchens making pastes, farces, mousses, breadcrumbs and emulsions in 8 litre batches. At 326 mm wide it fits a crowded 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. Allow 326 mm of bench with clearance above to lift the lid and remove the bowl and blade — the machine stands 587 mm tall. Site it near a sink: the bowl and lid are dishwasher safe but the blade must be washed by hand.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Will the BC-8V2 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 do the two speeds give me?

1,500 rpm for a controlled chop and 2,800 rpm for a fine paste, with a pulse function for cuts that need judgement rather than a set duration.

Q: What does the lid scraper do?

It brings product back off the bowl wall while the machine runs. Without one you stop, open the lid and scrape by hand, and product left on the wall never gets processed evenly.

Q: Can everything go in the dishwasher?

All accessories are dishwasher safe except the blade, which is hand wash only.

Q: Can ingredients be added mid-cycle?

Yes. The lid is designed to allow liquids to be added while the machine runs, which is what makes emulsions possible.

Q: What warranty does the BC-8V2 come with?

Covered for 2 years on a return-to-base basis — the unit is sent back for service rather than a technician attending site. Factor that into your downtime planning. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
