Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'Salad Days', a busy lunch spot in Manchester, were struggling to keep up with demand for their salads and sandwiches, with staff spending over an hour each morning hand-slicing tomatoes.
"Hand-slicing was a bottleneck. The slices were uneven, and we were wasting so much good produce. Popping this disc into our Santos machine has completely streamlined our morning prep. The quality is fantastic and it's saved us so much hassle."
Michael Davies – Owner
The result? They reduced their daily tomato prep time by over 80% and saw a noticeable decrease in food waste, allowing them to serve customers faster during the peak lunch hour.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- First, ensure your vegetable preparation machine is switched off and unplugged from the wall.
- Lift the machine's cover and carefully remove any existing disc.
- Align the T4 disc with the drive shaft and gently lower it into position until it sits securely.
- Replace and lock the machine's cover before plugging it back in and switching on.
Keeping It Going
- Always handle the disc by the central hub to avoid touching the sharp blades.
- Clean the disc immediately after use with warm, soapy water and a soft brush.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scourers that could damage the blade's edge.
- Store it safely on a designated wall rack or in a protective case to prevent damage.
