Talsa K30S Suprem 30 Litre Commercial Bowl Cutter / Chopper

The Talsa K30S Suprem Bowl Cutter is a compact, professional food processing machine designed for chopping, mixing and emulsifying meat, vegetables, fish and other suitable food ingredients.

Manufactured in Spain by Talsa, the K30S features a 30-litre stainless steel bowl, variable-speed cutting system and digital touchscreen controls, making it particularly suitable for butchers, sausage manufacturers, farm shops, commercial kitchens and smaller food processing businesses.

Also known as a commercial meat bowl chopper, the machine combines a rotating stainless steel bowl with high-speed cutting knives to produce a range of textures, from coarsely chopped meat mixtures to fine emulsions.

With adjustable knife speeds of 500–3,500 rpm, the Talsa K30S offers professional chopping performance in a compact machine designed for regular food production.

30-Litre Bowl Capacity for Commercial Food Processing

The Talsa K30S features a 30-litre stainless steel bowl, providing a practical processing capacity for businesses producing smaller commercial batches.

Talsa's published recommended batch sizes are approximately:

• 5–22kg for softer mixtures.

• 5–15kg for tougher mixtures.

Actual working capacity will depend on the ingredients, product formulation, required texture and processing conditions.

The 30-litre bowl makes the K30S particularly suitable for businesses manufacturing a variety of products in relatively small batches.

This can be useful for butchers producing different sausage recipes, farm shops preparing specialist products and food manufacturers requiring flexibility across multiple product lines.

Variable-Speed Cutting from 500–3,500 rpm

The Talsa K30S features a fully variable knife-speed system operating between 500 and 3,500 rpm.

This allows operators to adjust the cutting speed according to the product being manufactured.

Lower speeds are suitable for more controlled chopping, while higher speeds can be used to produce finer mixtures and emulsions.

The machine incorporates an electronic motor drive designed to provide smooth knife acceleration and overload protection.

This helps operators control the cutting process when working with different ingredients and recipes.

5.6kW Machine Power

The Talsa K30S Suprem has a published total machine power of 5.6kW, equivalent to approximately 7.5hp.

This provides the power required for professional chopping and mixing applications within the machine's recommended batch capacities.

The machine uses a three-phase electrical supply and is designed for commercial food processing environments.

Its electronically controlled cutting system allows knife speed to be adjusted to suit the product being processed.

Removable Cutting Knife Assembly

The Talsa K30S is supplied with a removable three-knife cutting head.

The knives are manufactured by German specialist BE-Maschinenmesser using high-resistance KUT steel.

The cutting head is designed to operate with a small clearance between the knives and the bowl, supporting effective chopping and emulsification.

An optional six-knife cutting head is also available for suitable applications.

The removable knife assembly helps simplify cleaning, inspection and routine maintenance.

TalsaControl 4.0 Digital Touchscreen

The Talsa K30S Suprem incorporates the TalsaControl 4.0 digital control system with a 10-inch Schneider Electric touchscreen.

The display provides operators with key processing information, including:

• Knife speed.

• Product temperature.

• Elapsed processing time.

• Current time.

• Selected processing functions.

The touchscreen interface allows operators to adjust machine settings and monitor the cutting process.

Four freely configurable knife-speed presets allow commonly used speeds to be selected quickly.

This helps simplify operation when producing different recipes.

Interactive Recipes and Repeatable Processing

One of the advantages of the Talsa K30S is its interactive recipe function.

Operators can store processing settings and recall them for repeated production batches.

This is particularly useful for businesses manufacturing several different products, each requiring its own cutting speed, processing time or temperature limit.

The control system also provides automatic stopping functions based on:

• A selected processing time.

• A specified product temperature.

These functions help operators maintain consistent processing conditions and reduce the need for continuous manual adjustment.

Talsa EcoCut Power Control

The Talsa K30S incorporates Talsa EcoCut Power Control, which provides information about the power required during processing.

This helps operators understand how the machine is performing when processing different products.

The system can assist with selecting suitable cutting conditions and monitoring the demands placed on the motor.

Digital Temperature Monitoring

Temperature is an important consideration when chopping meat and preparing fine emulsions.

The Talsa K30S features a temperature sensor positioned within the knife-cover assembly.

This allows operators to monitor product temperature directly through the touchscreen during processing.

The automatic stopping function can be configured to stop the machine when a selected temperature limit is reached.

This is particularly useful when producing sausage mixtures and other products where controlling temperature helps maintain the required finished texture.

Applications for the Talsa K30S
