The grater head is the body of the grater that houses the grating roller and the loading chute for the cheese being grated.

Material: aluminium, the most common choice for its lightness and durability. Brands in range: AMB, CGT (mod. Mec), Fama (CE and TGI series), Fimar — every grater head is specific to its brand and model, sized to the roller it houses.

Connected components: the control lever for loading the cheese and the eccentric pawl of the safety micro-switch, which stops the machine from running while the head is open.

For the grating roller, see Grating Roller; for other spare parts, go back to Grating Spare Parts.

Frequently asked questions

Is the grater head universal across brands?
No, every brand (AMB, Fama, Fimar, CGT) has a head dedicated to its own roller: it must be chosen for the exact model.

What does the eccentric pawl do?
It operates the safety micro-switch that stops the grater from running when the head is open.
