Nowicki KN90 Commercial Bowl Cutter / Chopper

The Nowicki KN90 Bowl Cutter is a high-speed commercial food processing machine designed for chopping, mixing and emulsifying meat and other suitable food ingredients.

Manufactured by Metalbud Nowicki, the KN90 features a 90-litre stainless steel bowl, variable-speed cutting system and microprocessor controls, making it particularly suitable for butchers, sausage manufacturers, meat processors and specialist food production facilities.

Also known as a meat bowl chopper, the machine combines a rotating bowl with high-speed cutting knives to produce everything from coarsely chopped meat mixtures to finely emulsified products.

With adjustable cutterhead speeds of 200–5,500 rpm, the KN90 provides the flexibility required for a wide range of chopping, mixing and emulsification applications.

90-Litre Bowl Capacity for Commercial Meat Processing

The Nowicki KN90 features a 90-litre bowl, making it suitable for businesses requiring professional chopping and mixing capabilities without the capacity of a larger industrial machine.

Published specifications indicate approximate working capacities of:

• 60–75kg for suitable homogenised meat mixtures.

• 45–50kg for salami-type products.

Actual working capacity depends on the ingredients, recipe, product density and required finished texture.

This makes the KN90 particularly useful for businesses producing regular batches of sausages, pâtés and other processed meat products.

High-Speed Chopping up to 5,500 rpm

The KN90 features an adjustable cutting system operating between 200 and 5,500 rpm.

This allows operators to select the appropriate knife speed according to the product being manufactured.

Lower speeds are useful for controlled chopping, while higher speeds are suitable for producing fine meat emulsions and smooth product textures.

The rotating bowl moves ingredients continuously through the cutting area, helping achieve consistent processing throughout the batch.

The KN90 can also be used for fine processing of suitable ingredients such as poultry skin and beef tendons, making it a versatile machine for sausage and meat product manufacturing.

Adjustable Mixing Speeds

In addition to high-speed chopping, the Nowicki KN90 offers reverse-direction mixing speeds of approximately 200–400 rpm.

This allows ingredients to be combined without relying exclusively on high-speed cutting.

The mixing function is particularly useful when distributing seasonings, fat and other ingredients throughout sausage mixtures.

By combining chopping and mixing functions in one machine, manufacturers can process a variety of recipes using the same equipment.

Microprocessor Controls and Repeatable Processing

The Nowicki KN90 incorporates a microprocessor-based control system designed to manage cutting and mixing operations.

Published KN90 configurations include a control panel with five pre-programmed cutting speeds and two pre-programmed mixing speeds.

The system allows operators to manage processing parameters and achieve consistent results across repeated batches.

Depending on the selected configuration, additional programming functions can provide further control over cutting stages, processing time and temperature.

This is particularly useful for manufacturers producing multiple recipes requiring different chopping and mixing conditions.

Digital Product Temperature Monitoring

Temperature control is an important consideration during high-speed meat chopping and emulsification.

The Nowicki KN90 includes digital product temperature monitoring, allowing operators to observe the mixture temperature during processing.

This helps operators manage the cutting process and avoid excessive temperature increases that could affect the finished product.

The control system can also support temperature-related processing stages, depending on the selected configuration.

Applications for the Nowicki KN90

Sausage Manufacturing

The KN90 is particularly suitable for producing smoked, steamed and raw sausage mixtures.

Its adjustable cutting and mixing speeds allow meat, fat, seasoning and other ingredients to be processed to the required consistency.

Meat Emulsions

With cutterhead speeds up to 5,500 rpm, the machine is suitable for preparing fine meat emulsions used in a range of processed meat products.

Pâtés and Fine Meat Products

The high-speed cutting system can produce finely chopped mixtures for pâtés, spreads and other products requiring a smooth, uniform texture.

Burger and Formed Meat Products

Depending on the required recipe and texture, the KN90 can be used for chopping and mixing ingredients for burgers and other formed meat products.

Poultry and Skin Emulsions

The KN90 is suitable for processing certain poultry mixtures, including emulsions made from poultry skin and other suitable raw materials.

Fish and Prepared Food Production

The machine may also be used for fish products, including surimi-type preparations, as well as suitable fillings and other prepared food mixtures.

Stainless Steel Construction and Hygienic Design

The Nowicki KN90 is designed for professional food processing environments where hygiene and regular cleaning are essential.

Its stainless steel construction and polished product-contact surfaces support hygienic processing.

The machine features manually operated knife and bowl covers, providing access to the cutting area for routine cleaning and maintenance.

Its robust construction and adjustable stainless steel feet help provide stability during operation.

The knife assembly is designed for straightforward removal, helping simplify maintenance and cleaning.

Product Unloading

The KN90 can be supplied with a manual product unloading disc to assist with removing processed mixtures from the bowl.

This helps transfer finished product to the next stage of production without requiring the operator to remove the entire batch by hand.

The manual unloading disc is listed as standard by some suppliers and optional by others. Its inclusion should therefore be confirmed against the machine quotation.

Nowicki KN90 vs KN60 – What's the Difference?

The Nowicki KN90 and KN60 are both commercial bowl cutters designed for meat chopping, mixing and emulsification.

The main difference is their bowl capacity.

The KN90 features a 90-litre bowl, compared with 60 litres on the KN60, making it suitable for manufacturers requiring larger production batches.

The KN90 has a maximum cutterhead speed of 5,500 rpm, while the KN60 offers speeds up to 6,000 rpm.

Both machines provide adjustable chopping and reverse mixing functions.

The KN60 may be more suitable for businesses processing smaller batches, while the KN90 offers additional capacity for manufacturers requiring greater output per batch.

Nowicki KN90 vs KN125 – Which Bowl Cutter Is Right?

The Nowicki KN90 and KN125 are both high-speed bowl cutters designed for sausage production, meat chopping and emulsification.

The KN90 features a 90-litre bowl, making it particularly suitable for butchers and smaller food manufacturers.

The larger KN125 offers a 125-litre bowl, providing additional capacity for businesses processing larger batches.

The KN90 has a maximum cutterhead speed of 5,500 rpm, compared with 5,000 rpm for the KN125.

Both machines offer variable-speed chopping and mixing, but the larger KN125 range also provides additional product-handling configurations, including hydraulic loading and unloading.

The most suitable machine will depend on batch size, product formulation, processing requirements and available installation space.
