The Omcan 24573 Cheese Cutters
A heavy duty manual wire cheese cutter with a 24 in square board, for a cheese room, deli back room or production kitchen that cuts cheese blocks rather than trimming retail pieces. The floating wire design gives it a smooth action with all types of cheese. The board is 24 in by 24 in and 4 in high, the cutter weighs 18 lb, and the approximate cheese capacity is a block about 12 in across. It is a hand operated cutter with no gauge on the board. Set it on a sturdy work surface.
Floating Wire Design
The floating wire design allows for a smooth action with all types of cheese. To cut, lift the wire upright with the handle, set the block on the cutting surface with the part to be cut over the groove, pull the handle gently so tension is added to the wire, then keep that tension and lower the handle slowly but firmly to press the wire through the block.
Twenty Four Inch Square Cutting Area
The cutting area is 24 in by 24 in with a groove across the surface that the wire passes through. The 4 in height keeps the cutter low on the counter, and the unit stands on rubber feet, with a replacement foot stocked under item 15073. The approximate cheese capacity is about 12 in in diameter.
Dependability and Ease of Cleaning
The cutter offers dependability and ease of cleaning. The cutting wire comes out after use so the block and the wire can be washed with a mild detergent and warm water, dried completely and reassembled. There is no motor to protect: the handle, wire, pulley and spring do the work.
Replacement Wires, Handles and Springs
Cutting wires are stocked as parts: 24 in wires twelve to a pack under item 10060 and 36 in wires twelve to a pack under item 10061. Handles are two to a pack under item 10059 and springs come in pairs under item 14791. To change a wire, twist the two halves of the handle in opposite directions to separate them and unhook the wire, unscrew the other end from the bottom of the unit, then hook and screw in the new wire, route it through the groove of the pulley wheel and the gap in the cutting surface, hook it to the screw inside the handle and twist the handle halves back together.
