Cheese Graters

Commercial Cheese Graters in Toronto & Canada

Shred cheese fast and consistently with Phoenix Food Equipment's Cheese Graters collection, built for pizzerias, delis, and restaurants going through blocks of cheese every shift. Our Omcan lineup covers the widest range, from a light-duty 0.75 HP grater for lower-volume shredding up to a 4 HP heavy-duty model built for continuous, high-output runs. Globe rounds out the lineup with 2 and 3 HP rotary cheese shredders for mid-to-high volume kitchens. Whether you're grating mozzarella for pizza, cheddar for sandwiches, or parmesan for finishing dishes, a dedicated electric cheese grater shreds faster and more consistently than doing it by hand. Need broader prep equipment? Our Veggie & Fruit Processing collection covers the rest of your prep line. Phoenix Food Equipment is based right here in Vaughan and ships cheese graters across the GTA — Toronto, Mississauga, Hamilton, and Markham included — plus nationwide delivery across Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from operators buying this kind of equipment.

What's the difference between a light-duty and heavy-duty electric cheese grater?

Light-duty cheese graters, like our smaller Omcan 0.75 and 1.5 HP models, suit a restaurant or deli shredding cheese in smaller batches throughout the day. Heavy-duty graters, like Omcan's 2 and 4 HP models and Globe's 2 and 3 HP shredders, handle continuous, high-volume shredding for a pizzeria or commissary running through full blocks of cheese at a time. Phoenix Food Equipment carries both duty tiers, so you can match the machine to how much cheese you're actually going through.

Can a commercial cheese grater shred anything besides cheese?

Most commercial cheese graters can handle other firm foods too — bread for breadcrumbs, nuts, and some vegetables like carrots can go through the same grating drum, though the machine is built and sized around cheese specifically. Swapping in a different drum or disc, where available, can widen what it handles, but always check your model's manual before running anything besides cheese through it, since drum sizes and grate patterns vary by machine. Our Omcan and Globe lineups are both purpose-built primarily for cheese.

How do I clean a commercial cheese grater?

A commercial cheese grater should be broken down and cleaned after every use — cheese residue left in the grating drum dries hard and attracts bacteria if it sits. Most of our Omcan and Globe cheese graters have removable drums and guards that come apart without tools, making daily teardown and sanitizing straightforward. Regular cleaning also keeps the grating surface sharp, so cheese shreds cleanly instead of clumping or tearing.
