The 5-AF butter block cutting machine uses a wire harp to quickly reduce bulk blocks of fats into small pieces for mixing and processing.

Many bakers purchasing individually wrapped portions of butter as ingredients are feeling the squeeze and looking for cost savings. Buying fats in bulk and cutting them into smaller pieces with a machine makes reducing butter for mixing a one person job, removes the liability of large knives, and extends the life of equipment by reducing the wear and tear on mixers that have to work extra hard to break down big blocks of butter.
