Robot-Coupe R 23 Food Processor

The R 23 is a heavier-duty model designed specifically for continuous feed processing of large vegetable batches, whereas the R 2 Clear is a smaller batch-bowl processor. The R 23 features a larger hopper that can accommodate whole vegetables like potatoes or onions without pre-cutting. This makes the R 23 significantly faster for high-volume commercial prep work.

While primarily designed for slicing and shredding vegetables via its continuous feed attachment, the R 23 does come with a bowl and dough blade attachments. Its robust motor has the torque necessary to cut butter into flour for pie dough and pizza bases. However, for bakeries doing strictly heavy doughs, a dedicated planetary mixer might be preferred.

Because it houses a powerful, heavy-duty commercial-grade motor, the Robot-Coupe R 23 operates at a high noise level, often exceeding 80 decibels. It is designed to sit on a prep counter in a busy commercial restaurant kitchen where ambient noise is already high. It is not recommended for quiet home environments or open-plan cafes.

Yes, the stainless steel slicing discs and plastic ejector plates are generally dishwasher safe and designed to withstand commercial sanitation cycles. However, the main motorized base must never be submerged in water or put in a dishwasher; it should only be wiped down with a damp cloth. Proper cleaning of the central spindle is required to prevent food buildup.
