The Omcan 46031 Cheese Melter
The Omcan FW-CN-0036 is a 36-inch natural gas cheese melter that produces 30,000 BTU per hour, designed to mount above a cooking line for finishing dishes with melted cheese, browning gratins, toasting open-faced sandwiches, and caramelizing toppings. For burger joints, Mexican restaurants, sandwich shops, and any kitchen that finishes dishes under high radiant heat, this unit provides the intense overhead heat needed to melt and brown quickly without overcooking the food underneath.
30,000 BTU Infrared Burner for Fast Finishing
At 30,000 BTU per hour, the burner produces the high radiant heat needed to melt cheese in seconds rather than minutes. The 36-inch width accommodates multiple plates or a row of sandwiches side by side, so you can finish several orders at once during a rush. This is the mid-size model in the series, fitting between the 24-inch (20,000 BTU) and 48-inch (40,000 BTU) versions. The unit ships configured for natural gas and includes a conversion kit for liquid propane, so you can switch fuel types without purchasing additional parts.
Wall-Mount Installation with Stainless Steel Build
The cheese melter mounts to the wall above your line equipment, keeping your counter and floor space clear. At 36 by 19 by 23 inches and 139 pounds, it requires solid mounting hardware and a non-combustible surface with at least 6 inches of clearance on all sides per installation requirements. The stainless steel construction handles the grease and heat exposure that comes with finishing fatty foods under high temperatures. Four-inch legs are included for installations where countertop placement is preferred over wall mounting.
