Cheese grater SAVIOLI GRP22T

A combined meat mincer and cheese grater processes two key ingredients without changing appliances. The mincer forces meat through a rotating blade and perforated plate, breaking it into fine strands while removing sinew and gristle. The grater uses a roller with sharp edges to shred cheese into even flakes, controlled by a presser lever that adjusts pressure for consistent results. Both functions rely on a single motor that drives the cutting mechanisms at high speed, ensuring rapid throughput for bulk preparation.

To operate, the user selects the mincer or grater function, loads the ingredient into the anodised aluminium inlet, and engages the motor. For mincing, meat is fed through the hopper, where the self-sharpening knife and plate cut it into uniform pieces. For grating, cheese is pressed against the roller using the lever, which activates the microswitch to start the motor. The reversing switch allows the operator to clear blockages by running the mechanism backwards without dismantling the unit.

The construction combines anodised aluminium for the inlet with a stainless steel structure and external mincing unit, resisting corrosion in wet kitchen environments. The self-sharpening plate and knife maintain cutting efficiency over time, while the lower protection grid prevents contact with moving parts. The grater roller, also stainless steel, withstands repeated use without deforming.

Controls include a reversing switch for clearing jams and a presser lever microswitch that starts the motor only when the lever is engaged, improving safety. The low-voltage electric card (24 V) manages motor functions, isolating high voltage from user-accessible parts.

A capacity of 150 kg per hour suits high-volume kitchens where large batches of minced meat or grated cheese are needed quickly. The 1.1 kW motor provides sufficient power for continuous operation without overheating, while the 400 V three-phase supply matches commercial electrical systems. The unit's weight of 30.5 kg allows it to be moved with a trolley but remains stable during use, and its 660 x 340 x 460 mm footprint fits on most worktops without crowding adjacent equipment.

Cleaning involves removing the mincing plate and knife for washing, while the grater roller can be wiped down or brushed clean. The stainless steel surfaces resist staining and can be sanitised with standard kitchen cleaners. The anodised aluminium inlet prevents oxidation, reducing maintenance between uses.

The GRP22T is a single model with no variants, designed for professional kitchens requiring both mincing and grating functions in one appliance.
