Nemco NEW0008 Easy Wedger Eight Section

The Nemco NEW0008 Easy Wedger cuts firm produce into eight sections wedges in a single downward push. It is the middle model of the three, and the standard bar wedge. The supplier rates it for lemons, limes, oranges, potatoes, zucchini and tomatoes and specifies that it will not bruise the product. It is a hand-operated machine on a 200 x 200 mm footprint, so it needs no power, no outlet and no electrician.

Why operators choose the NEW0008

• Eight sections per push — the classic bar wedge. Eight from a lemon or lime is the size a bartender reaches for by default - big enough to sit on a glass rim and squeeze, small enough not to dominate the drink
• One motion, identical every time — the produce is seated and pushed once. Every wedge off the machine is the same, which is what stops garnish portioning drifting across a busy bar shift
• Will not bruise the product — the supplier's stated claim, and the reason this style of wedger is specified for citrus that sits on a glass rim in front of a customer
• Rated for firm produce, not just citrus — lemons, limes and oranges, but also potatoes, zucchini and tomatoes - so it earns its keep on a kitchen bench as well as behind a bar
• 200 x 200 mm footprint, 2 kg — the smallest footprint and the lightest machine in the Nemco manual range we carry. It fits on a bar station where nothing else will
• Nothing to plug in — no power, no outlet and no electrician - which matters behind a bar, where outlets are scarce and usually already spoken for

Specifications

Venue suitability

The default for anywhere serving drinks in volume - a cocktail or public bar, a restaurant pass cutting lemon for seafood and schnitzel, a cafe garnishing water jugs, a club or function venue, or a catering operation prepping garnish trays ahead of service. Go to six sections where the wedge is eaten rather than squeezed, or ten where the fruit is small or the volume is very high.

Installation & delivery

Nothing to connect and nothing to commission. Allow a 200 x 200 mm square of bench or bar top and clearance above the 480 mm body for the plunger to lift clear. At 2 kg it can be moved between a bar station and a prep bench during a shift, or lifted down and stripped for washing. There is no outlet, no switchboard work and no electrician involved. Dispatched Australia-wide.

Also available as the NEW0006 in six sections and the NEW0010 in ten sections.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How many wedges does this model cut?

Eight sections. The section count is the only difference between the three Easy Wedger models - the body, the footprint, the weight and the warranty are identical across all three, so choose purely on the wedge you want on the plate.

Q: Does it need power?

No. It is a hand-operated pusher - no motor, no lead, no plug. No outlet, no switchboard work and no electrician are needed to put it into service.

Q: What produce will it handle?

The supplier lists lemons, limes, oranges, potatoes, zucchini and tomatoes among others, and specifies that it will not bruise the product. It is built for firm produce that holds its shape against the blade.

Q: Will it bruise soft produce like tomatoes?

The supplier states the machine will not bruise product and names tomatoes in its own list. On very ripe fruit we would still expect the result to depend on how ripe it is, so treat the claim as being about the cutting action rather than a guarantee for any condition of fruit.

Q: Does the photograph show this exact model?

Yes. The photograph on this listing carries a visible Nemco model plate reading N55550-8, which is the manufacturer code for this eight-section machine. It is the only image in the Easy Wedger range we can verify to a specific model.

Q: What warranty does it carry?

Twelve months, back to base. A warranty repair is carried out at the service agent's workshop and the machine is returned to you, rather than a technician attending your site. Full terms are on our warranty information page.
