The 1 HP (750W) motor drives the ironed steel drum at 1670 RPM, delivering noticeably more torque than the 0.5 HP model for operations that process larger volumes of hard cheese. If you are grating five or more blocks per shift for a busy Italian restaurant, pizza chain, or catering kitchen, the extra horsepower means you push cheese through faster with less effort and less risk of the motor straining under load. Safety features include a microswitch that stops the motor the moment the hopper is removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIroned Steel Drum with Stainless Steel Basin and Hopper\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grating drum is ironed steel, a harder and more wear-resistant material than stamped stainless steel drums that dull quickly with hard cheeses. The stainless steel basin catches grated cheese cleanly and directs it into your service container without scattering shreds across the counter. The stainless steel hopper feeds cheese into the drum at a consistent angle, so you get uniform shred size from start to finish rather than a mix of powder and chunks. Both the basin and hopper remove for cleaning between uses, which matters when you switch between cheese types or need to sanitize between service periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e1 HP Motor at 1670 RPM\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1670 RPM drum speed combined with 1 HP of motor power gives you fast, consistent grating throughput that handles extended processing runs without the motor getting hot. The unit plugs into a standard NEMA 5-15P outlet on 110V power. A microswitch stops the motor immediately when the hopper is lifted or removed, preventing accidental contact with the spinning drum during cleaning or block changes. At 36 lb, the unit is stable on a countertop during operation but still portable enough to relocate between stations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omcan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51267183509789,"sku":"11404","price":1370.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/45964_aa4225be-c6db-4c29-80ae-1f2a1cffd6c3.jpg?v=1778413353","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/omcan-gr-it-0746-m-light-duty-cheese-grater-1-hp-microswitch","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
