ISCA - Butter + Cheese Cutter

• Portioning large blocks of cheese or butter into smaller, manageable loaves for further processing.
• Preparing dairy products for shredding, dicing, or blending operations in food manufacturing.
• Reducing bulk ingredients for packaging into consumer or foodservice portions.
• Use in industrial bakeries, ready-meal production, and catering supply operations.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 1 to 3 blocks per minute, equating to approximately 1,200 to 3,600 kg per hour, depending on product density and block size.

Suitable feed material

Typically designed for solid blocks of cheddar cheese (around 20kg) or butter (around 25kg).

Maximum block dimensions

Units of this type commonly accommodate blocks up to 400 x 300 x 300 mm.

Power supply

Most industrial food processing equipment of this nature requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a power rating commonly between 2.2 kW and 5.5 kW.

Construction material

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Footprint

For this category, the footprint can vary, but typically requires a floor area of approximately 1.5m x 1m.

• What maintenance is typically required for a butter/cheese cutter?

  Routine maintenance commonly involves daily cleaning, inspection of cutting wires or blades for wear, and periodic checks of hydraulic or pneumatic systems. Lubrication of moving parts may also be required.

• Can this machine handle different types of cheese or butter?

• Are replacement cutting wires or blades readily available?

• What safety features are commonly found on these machines?

• Is this equipment suitable for a washdown environment?

Food processing slicers are considered reliable workhorses in commercial kitchens and production facilities. Buyers typically value consistent blade sharpness, robust construction, and ease of cleaning. When purchasing used models, it is important to inspect blade condition carefully, verify motor functionality, and check safety guards remain intact. Industry sentiment favours machines from established manufacturers known for durability. Common strengths include uniform slicing precision, high throughput capacity, and relatively straightforward maintenance. Buyers should confirm spare parts availability before purchase.
