Manual Vegetable Slicers

Commercial Vegetable Slicers & French Fry Cutters in Toronto & Canada

Some prep doesn't need power behind it — our Manual Vegetable Slicers collection covers hand-powered vegetable slicers, french fry cutters, choppers, and wedgers that get a consistent cut in seconds, with no motor or moving parts to break down. Push a potato through a french fry cutter and get an even cut in one motion; a tomato slicer or onion slicer works the same way for produce that needs a clean, uniform cut fast. Most of our lineup comes from Nemco, the widest range in the collection — fry cutters, tomato and onion slicers, choppers, wedgers, corers, and specialty cuts like ribbon fries and garnish cutters — alongside Winco for a budget-friendly equivalent across the same core cuts. Our own Phoenix house brand covers heavy-duty fry cutters, choppers, and fruit wedgers at a value price point, and Omcan and Dynamic round out the lineup with mandoline sets and a manual cubing machine. Need powered prep instead? Our Food Processors collection covers higher-volume slicing and dicing. Whether you're outfitting a restaurant in Toronto, a food truck in Mississauga, or a commissary right here in Vaughan, we ship vegetable slicers and fry cutters across the GTA — Markham and Hamilton included — and nationwide across Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from operators buying this kind of equipment.

What's the difference between a manual vegetable slicer and a mandoline slicer?

A manual vegetable slicer, like our Nemco Easy Slicer or Winco Kattex line, pushes produce through a fixed blade insert with a pusher block or handle, giving one consistent cut every time with almost no technique required. A mandoline slicer instead uses an adjustable blade you set to a chosen thickness, giving more flexibility over cut size but needing a steadier hand to keep cuts even. Our Omcan and Winco mandoline sets come with interchangeable blades for different thicknesses and julienne cuts, while the fixed-blade slicers from Nemco and Winco are built for one specific cut, over and over, as fast as you can push the handle. Phoenix Food Equipment carries both styles, so you can pick speed and consistency or flexibility and control.

What cut sizes are available on a manual french fry cutter?

Manual french fry cutters come with interchangeable blade inserts sized by the fry's cross-section, typically from a thin 1/4-inch shoestring cut up to a thick 3/8- or 1/2-inch steak fry, plus specialty cuts like Nemco's ribbon fry and spiral fry blades for a different presentation. Our Nemco, Winco, and Phoenix fry cutters all use swappable blades, so one cutter can produce several cut sizes just by changing the insert. Phoenix Food Equipment stocks replacement blades and pusher blocks for our Winco fry cutters too, so a worn blade doesn't mean replacing the whole unit.

What other cuts can a manual vegetable slicer make besides french fries?

The same fixed-blade mechanism behind a fry cutter works for a lot more than potatoes — our Nemco Easy Slicer and Easy Chopper lines swap blade heads to slice tomatoes, wedge onions and fruit, chop lettuce, core apples and pineapples, and even cut garnish and ribbon-style vegetables for plating. Winco and our own Phoenix house brand cover the core cuts — tomato, onion, and fruit wedge slicers — in the same push-block style. Phoenix Food Equipment carries the full range, so one visit can cover fries, salad prep, and garnish work without needing a powered food processor for every cut.
