The Hobart Pelican Head, often referred to as the VS9 Vegetable Slicer, is a versatile power attachment designed for high-volume slicing, shredding, and grating. It is primarily used with Hobart planetary mixers or dedicated power drive units like the PD-35.

Core Functionality & Versatility

The Pelican Head acts as a master housing for various cutting discs and plates.

Vegetable Processing: It excels at slicing cabbage for coleslaw, lettuce for sandwiches, and cucumbers or potatoes.

Cheese Shredding: When equipped with shredder plates, it is a high-speed solution for grating bulk cheese for pizzerias and delis.

Interchangeable Plates: The unit utilizes a variety of stainless steel plates, including slicing knives (S-Blades), shredder discs (ranging from 3/32" to 1/2"), and grater discs.

Compatibility & Build

Standard Hubs: The attachment is commonly found in two sizes: the #12 hub (standard for most 12-quart to 60-quart mixers) and the larger #22 hub (used on heavy-duty 80-quart to 140-quart mixers).

Durable Construction: It features a highly polished precision-machined aluminum housing designed for easy mounting, removal, and sanitation.

Safety & Accessibility: The housing typically includes a hinged front cover for quick plate changes and a manual push feeder to keep operators' hands away from the cutting surfaces.
