MATADOR Matador Heavy Duty Food Cutter AK370FC

The Matador AK370FC is a heavy duty food cutter with a 340 mm diameter bowl (85 mm maximum depth) and a cutlery-grade two-blade hub turning at 3,000 cuts a minute. It chops and emulsifies meat and vegetables, is built in AISI 304 stainless steel, and the bowl, cover and blade hub all come out for cleaning. A ventilated motor with precision gear drive and overload and over-current protection keeps it running continuously.

Why operators choose the AK370FC

• 3,000 cuts a minute from a two-blade hub — cutlery-grade blades at that speed are what let it emulsify rather than merely chop - the difference between a coarse mince and a smooth farce
• 340 mm bowl, 85 mm deep — a genuine commercial batch size in a footprint under 600 mm wide
• High-efficiency ventilated motor — it is built to run continuously rather than in short bursts, which is the usual limit on a small cutter
• Overload and over-current protection in the circuit — the machine protects itself and the kitchen's supply, rather than relying on the operator to notice
• AISI 304 stainless steel construction — the grade that survives daily washing and acidic food contact without pitting
• Bowl, cover and two-blade hub all removable — the whole food-contact assembly comes apart for proper cleaning instead of being wiped in place
• Bowl cover safety interlock — it will not run with the cover off
• Precision gear drive — no belt in the drive train, so there is nothing to stretch or slip
• Rubber feet — it stays put on a wet bench under load
• 250 W on a standard 10 A outlet — serious cutting speed without any electrical work

Specifications

Venue suitability

The AK370FC suits restaurants, caterers, delis, butchers and production kitchens making pastes, farces, herb mixes and vegetable preparations. At 594 mm wide, 250 mm high and 15.6 kg it can be brought out for a job and stored between uses rather than holding a permanent bench position.

Installation & delivery

It runs from a standard 10 A power point, so no electrical work is required. At 15.6 kg it is a one-person lift. It is only 250 mm high, so it fits under most wall units; allow clearance above to lift the cover and remove the blade hub, and site it near a sink because the whole food-contact assembly comes out for washing.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What can the AK370FC actually do?

It chops and emulsifies meat and vegetables. The two-blade hub at 3,000 cuts a minute is what allows emulsification rather than just chopping, so it handles pastes and farces as well as coarse work.

Q: How big a batch does it take?

The bowl is 340 mm in diameter with a maximum depth of 85 mm.

Q: Can it run continuously?

The motor is specified as high-efficiency and ventilated to allow continuous operation, and the circuit carries overload and over-current protection. As with any cutter, let it rest if it becomes hot.

Q: Is it safe to run with the cover off?

It will not run with the cover off - a bowl cover safety interlock prevents it.

Q: What comes apart for cleaning?

The bowl, the bowl cover and the two-blade hub are all removable, so the complete food-contact assembly can be washed properly rather than wiped in place.

Q: What warranty does the AK370FC come with?

Covered for 1 year on parts and labour. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
