Expert Review and  Insights

The Sirman Athos isn't just another grater; it’s a problem-solver. In pizzerias, the texture of the mozzarella is everything, and  this machine nails it. The refrigerated housing is the standout feature, preventing the cheese from ‘sweating’ and  gumming up the works – a common headache with other models. It’s a solid, well-built unit that feels like it will happily run all day without complaining.

Marco Romano – Pizza Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: The refrigerated system is brilliant for mozzarella, delivering a light, fluffy shred consistently.
  • Cons: It’s a specialist bit of kit, so it’s less versatile for hard cheeses.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

Bristol-based 'The Gourmet Pie Co.' was struggling with their prep. Their existing grater constantly clogged when grating the large batches of mature cheddar needed for their award-winning pies, leading to wasted time and  product.

"We were losing nearly an hour a day just cleaning out the old machine. The Sirman Athos is on another level. The cheese stays cool, it grates perfectly, and  the time we've saved goes straight back into production. It's just a reliable workhorse."

Robert Finch – Head Chef

The new grater has reduced their daily cheese preparation time by over 40% and  improved the consistency of their fillings.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a stable, level, and  well-ventilated countertop for the machine.
  • Before first use, wash the removable disc holder and  grating disc in warm, soapy water.
  • Ensure the safety guard is correctly in place before plugging into a suitable 230V socket.
  • Run a small test batch to familiarise yourself with the operation and  output.

Keeping It Going

  • Always unplug the machine from the mains before cleaning.
  • After each use, remove the disc holder and  disc for a thorough clean to prevent residue build-up.
  • Wipe down the main body with a damp, food-safe cloth. Avoid harsh abrasives.
  • Periodically check that the safety microswitch is functioning correctly.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Cheese Grater

Not sure which cheese grater is the right fit for your kitchen? Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Cheese Type Matters

Hard cheeses like Parmesan need a different grating style to soft cheeses like mozzarella. If you mainly use soft cheese, a specialist machine like the Sirman Athos will prevent clogging and  give better results.

Consider Your Volume

For a small cafe, a manual or light-duty electric grater might suffice. But for a busy pizzeria or caterer, a heavy-duty, high-capacity professional cheese grater machine is essential to keep up with demand.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for models with removable parts. A machine that’s easy to strip down and  clean, like one with a fully removable disc holder, will save you time and  ensure you meet hygiene standards effortlessly.

Safety First

Commercial graters are powerful. Essential safety features include no-volt release, interlock switches on guards, and  motor brakes that stop the blade quickly when the machine is switched off.

Space and  Footprint

Check the dimensions! A countertop model needs to fit into your prep area without causing an obstruction. Measure your available space before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can this machine grate hard cheeses like Parmesan?

A: This model is specifically designed and  optimised for soft and  semi-soft cheeses like mozzarella and  cheddar. While it may handle some harder cheeses, for best results with very hard cheese, a dedicated hard cheese grater is recommended.

Q: How easy is it to clean?

A: It's designed for easy cleaning. The entire disc holder assembly is completely removable, allowing you to wash it thoroughly and  separately from the main unit.

Q: What is the main benefit of the refrigerated design?

A: The cooling system keeps the cheese firm as it's being grated. This prevents it from becoming soft, smearing, and  clogging the machine, which is a common issue with soft cheeses.

Q: Is the grating disc included?

A: Yes, it comes with the specialist disc required for grating soft cheeses.

Q: What are the main body and  components made from?

A: The construction is a robust mix of anodised aluminium and  stainless steel, designed for durability and  hygiene in a commercial environment.

Q: How does the safety guard work?

A: The machine has a microswitch that automatically cuts power to the motor if the safety guard on the disc holder opening is lifted, preventing accidental contact with the moving parts.

Q: What is the capacity of the machine?

A: The machine has a hopper and  collection capacity of 3.7 litres, suitable for processing significant batches of cheese for busy services.

Q: What kind of power supply does it need?

A: It runs on a standard 230V mains supply and  is fitted with a UK 3-pin plug.

How the Refrigerated Design Delivers Perfect Cheese

Ever tried grating a slightly warm block of cheddar or mozzarella? It quickly becomes soft, greasy, and  clogs the grater. The Sirman Athos's 'refrigerated design' tackles this head-on. It's not a full-blown fridge, but an integrated cooling system that keeps the grating chamber and  the cheese itself just cool enough during operation. Think of it like trying to grate butter – straight from the fridge it grates into fine, separate strands, but at room temperature, it just smears. This cooling feature ensures the cheese stays firm, resulting in light, separate, fluffy shreds every single time, which is crucial for perfect melting on pizzas and  preventing waste.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Independent Pizzerias & Italian Restaurants: For producing perfect, fluffy mozzarella that melts evenly without clumping, improving pizza quality and  consistency.
  • Large-Scale Catering Companies: To rapidly process large quantities of soft cheese for events, canteens, and  institutional catering needs.
  • Delicatessens & Food Producers: Ideal for preparing pre-packaged grated cheddar or other soft cheeses for retail sale with a professional finish.
  • Food Trucks & Pop-Ups: A compact yet powerful solution for mobile vendors specialising in loaded fries, nachos, or gourmet toasties.
