FIMAR D12x12 Disc D for Professional Food Cutters

A stainless-steel cutting disc engineered to slice food into uniform strips, forming the first stage in a two-step cubing process. The disc's grid of sharp blades divides ingredients into parallel slices, preparing them for the cross-cutting action of a second disc. This method ensures consistent size and shape, which is essential for even cooking and presentation in professional kitchens.

The operating principle relies on a rotating blade assembly driven by the food cutter's motor. Ingredients are fed through the feed tube and pressed against the disc by a pusher, forcing them through the grid of blades. Each blade shears the food cleanly, producing strips of identical width. When used in sequence with a matching cross-cut disc, these strips are further divided into cubes, allowing chefs to control the final dimensions by selecting the appropriate disc combination.

To use the disc, first secure it onto the cutter's shaft, ensuring it locks into place. Load the food into the feed tube and activate the motor. Guide the pusher steadily to maintain a consistent feed rate, which prevents jamming and ensures uniform slicing. Once the strips are produced, remove them and switch to the cross-cut disc to complete the cubing process. The operator monitors the feed to avoid overloading and checks the output for consistency.

Constructed from hardened stainless steel, the disc resists corrosion and maintains sharpness through repeated use. Its 12 mm by 12 mm grid determines the width of the strips, which directly influences the size of the final cubes when paired with the corresponding cross-cut disc.

The disc is compatible with food cutters that accept interchangeable discs, specifically those designed to work with FIMAR's disc E for cubing. This pairing is standardised for professional food preparation equipment, allowing seamless integration into existing workflows.

Cleaning involves removing the disc from the cutter and washing it in warm water with a mild detergent. The grid must be scrubbed to remove trapped food particles, and the disc should be dried thoroughly to prevent corrosion. Regular inspection of the blades ensures they remain sharp and free from damage.
