Engineered for continuous use in busy kitchens, this electric cheese grater efficiently handles hard cheeses at a rate of 130 to 150 pounds per hour while ensuring consistent particle size and operator safety. Professionals will appreciate the 1 HP direct gear-driven motor and stainless steel contact surfaces, which provide reliable throughput and simplify sanitation. The unit requires 110v/60/1-ph service for installation and arrives with a bright chrome finish that resists surface wear in demanding environments.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug the grater and lock out power before cleaning. Remove hopper, drum and pusher; wash parts in warm, soapy water and scrub with a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and sanitize food-contact surfaces to remove bacteria. Dry all components completely and inspect seals and safety interlocks for wear; replace if damaged. Clean exterior and vents to prevent grease buildup and fire risk. Reassemble only when dry and reconnect power.#@@#Additional Info#@#Alfa International FAMA-1 grates 130–150 pounds of hard cheese per hour with a 1 HP motor. The 110v, 60 Hz unit has a safety interlock, hopper grill, water-resistant switch, chrome finish, 40-pound weight, and is CSA-compliant.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#

#@@# Motor Driven Efficiency#@#
A direct gear-driven motor delivers steady torque for uninterrupted grating of hard cheese, enabling predictable hourly output between 130 and 150 pounds. Operators benefit from process stability that reduces product variation and limits rework during peak service periods.
#@@# Sanitary Construction#@#
The stainless steel grater drum and bowl contact all product surfaces, allowing for aggressive washdown protocols while preserving structural integrity. Managers can secure compliance with routine cleaning schedules and minimize microbial risk on food contact zones.
#@@# Operator Safety Controls#@#
A pusher handle with an integrated safety interlock switch prevents drum engagement unless the pusher is seated correctly, reducing the potential for operator contact with moving parts. A hopper outlet safety grill further restricts access to the feed area during operation.
#@@# Durable Electrical Components#@#
A water-resistant switch cover protects control elements from moisture exposure common in kitchen workflows, extending component life. Technicians experience reduced service frequency and fewer electrical failures in high humidity environments.
#@@# Compact Footprint#@#
Weighing 40 pounds, the chassis concentrates performance into a small operational footprint, allowing placement on prep counters or benchtops without consuming excessive space. Kitchen planners can increase functional capacity without major layout changes.
