Description
A continuous-duty electric cutter that turns whole potatoes into uniform fries at up to 50 lb. per minute.
The Edlund FFC-50-73201 is the FFC-50 French fry cutter. A 1/3 HP motor spins a rotor that throws potatoes through a fixed blade cartridge for even, uniform fries. It comes with the 1/2" (12mm) blade cartridge installed in the box. The housing is stainless steel with water-tight switches, and the hopper, drum and cartridge come off for cleaning.

Questions buyers ask
What outlet does it need?
Plug it into a grounded 120V GFCI outlet on a circuit rated at 20 amps. The motor draws 5.3 amps at 115V, 60 Hz.
How many fries can it cut?
Edlund rates the FFC-50 for continuous duty at up to 50 lb. of potatoes per minute. Load up to 40 lb. at a time and never overload the hopper. It works best with Grade B potatoes, up to 70 count.
Which blade sizes are available?
Edlund lists 3/8" (10mm) BL200, 1/2" (12mm) BL201, 9/16" (14mm) BL202 and 5/8" (16mm) BL203 blade cartridges. They swap in with two thumb screws, so one cutter can make several cuts.
Will it run with the hopper open?
No. Two safety interlock switches, one on the blade cartridge and one on the hopper, keep the motor off until the cartridge is seated and tightened and the hopper is closed.
Can it go on a stand?
Yes. Edlund offers a fixed stand MP200 (20.08" high) and a mobile stand MP201 on casters (23.23" high). Both have an 18.11" x 19.88" footprint.
