SAVIOLI GRT12T Cheese Grater for Professional Kitchens

A commercial cheese grater built for continuous grating of hard and semi-hard cheeses without clogging or overheating.

The appliance uses a motor-driven stainless steel roller with sharp, precision-cut grating teeth. As the cheese block is pressed against the rotating roller, each tooth shaves off a thin, even ribbon of cheese. The ribbons fall through a lower protection grid into a receiving container, preventing splatter and keeping the worktop clean. The roller's speed and tooth pattern are standardised for consistent texture, whether grating Parmesan for pasta or cheddar for salads.

To operate, the operator places the cheese block in the polished aluminium inlet, engages the presser lever and holds it down. A microswitch on the lever starts the motor, so the roller spins only when cheese is in contact. The operator releases the lever to stop the motor instantly, allowing quick adjustment or removal of the block. No pre-heating or calibration is required; the unit is ready as soon as it is plugged in.

The structure is entirely stainless steel, including the roller, inlet and lower grid. The polished aluminium inlet reduces friction, helping the cheese slide smoothly without sticking. A low-voltage electric card (24 V) controls the motor, isolating the operator from the 400 V three-phase supply and reducing electrical risk in a wet kitchen environment.

The 1.1 kW motor draws a steady load suitable for a three-phase circuit, avoiding the surges that single-phase appliances can cause. The 1400 rpm roller speed balances throughput and texture, grating cheese quickly without generating excessive heat that could soften the block. The 22 kg weight keeps the unit stable on a worktop, while the 310 mm width, 240 mm depth and 370 mm height fit between standard catering cupboards and under most extractor hoods.

Cleaning follows from the construction: the stainless steel roller and grid lift out for washing in a sink or dishwasher. The aluminium inlet wipes clean with a damp cloth, and the presser lever and microswitch are sealed against water ingress. No lubrication or adjustment is needed between services.

The GRT12T is a single model with no variants. It is listed in the SAVIOLI catalogue under cheese preparation equipment.
