Equipment Parts & Accessories

An equipment part is any component that replaces or repairs a piece of kitchen machinery — think blender containers, runner sets, stand legs, castors and bolt-down feet. An accessory is an add-on that extends what a unit can do, such as a spare jug set or a purpose-built stand for a specific appliance. Both keep existing gear operational rather than requiring a full replacement.

The range covers blender containers and blade assemblies for brands like Vitamix and Blendtec, equipment stands and legs for benchtop and floor-standing units, runner sets for oven and refrigeration drawers, castors, bolt-down feet for modular stainless steel ranges, and a broad spread of general replacement components across the General Equipment Parts & Accessories catalogue.

Each product listing on Chefs Depot names the exact model it suits — for example, a stand listed for the CO-502BDD or legs built for a specific deck configuration. Always cross-reference the model number on your existing unit with the compatibility note in the listing. If the listing names your model, it fits. If it does not, keep searching rather than guessing, because a mismatched part can damage the host unit.

Genuine parts from brands such as Rational, Vitamix and MKN are engineered to the tolerances of the original unit. A generic alternative may fit loosely, wear faster or void any service agreement on the parent machine. For high-use items like blender blade assemblies or oven runner sets, genuine parts tend to hold up longer in a commercial environment where the unit runs for many hours each day.

Vitamix and Blendtec both have replacement containers listed here. The Vitamix range includes options in different capacities, including a 1.4-litre Advance container and a 2-litre standard container, each sold with a blade assembly. Check whether your model uses a wet blade or a dry blade assembly before ordering, as the two are not interchangeable. Having a spare container on the shelf avoids any repeat disruption.

It depends on the specific stand. Some stands in the range are fixed-height units designed for a named appliance model, while legs with castors allow a degree of height flexibility and make it easier to move equipment for cleaning. Check the product listing for the unit you are fitting out, as the stand geometry is designed around the footprint and weight distribution of a particular machine.

Most commercial blender containers can be rinsed immediately after use and cleaned with a small amount of warm water and dish detergent run on a short blend cycle, then rinsed thoroughly. Blade assemblies should be inspected regularly for nicks or corrosion. Remove the blade from the container for a deeper clean and dry both components fully before reassembly. Follow the manufacturer guidance specific to your Vitamix or Blendtec model.

Runner sets benefit from a wipe-down after each service to clear grease and food debris, which accelerates wear on the sliding surfaces. Castors on equipment legs should be checked periodically for smooth rotation and locked securely when the unit is stationary. Bolt-down feet on modular stainless steel ranges need checking after any floor cleaning to confirm the fixing has not loosened over time.

Yes. Parts are sold independently of where the parent unit was purchased. As long as the listing confirms compatibility with your model number, you can order the part regardless of where the original machine came from. This applies across brands including Rational, Mibrasa, MKN, Matfer Bourgeat and the other labels stocked in this category.

Prices across the range vary considerably depending on the complexity of the component — a simple set of bolt-down feet sits at a very different price point to a full blender container with blade assembly. Members save off RRP on every item in the catalogue. Shipping is available Australia-wide, so the total cost of getting a part to your kitchen is straightforward to work out at checkout.
