Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Anchor Inn, a busy seaside pub in Whitby, was struggling with constant cutlery loss during their hectic summer season. The fast-paced clearing process meant staff were inadvertently scraping forks and knives into the bin, costing them hundreds of pounds a month in replacements.
"We were re-ordering cutlery every other month, and the cost was genuinely shocking when we added it all up. We fitted the KatchAll onto our main bin in the pot wash area, and the difference was night and day. The pile of cutlery it catches every evening is proof of how much we were losing."
Robert Davies – General Manager
After installing the San Jamar HZ885, the pub reduced its monthly spend on replacement cutlery by over 90%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack the cutlery catcher and give it a quick visual check.
- Ensure you have a compatible round 44-gallon bin ready and clean.
- Simply place the KatchAll lid securely over the top of the bin opening.
- Test it by dropping a standard fork or spoon near the opening to see the magnet in action.
Keeping It Going
- At the end of each shift, carefully remove the captured cutlery for washing.
- Wipe down the unit daily with a food-safe sanitiser to maintain hygiene.
- For a deep clean, simply run the entire unit through your commercial dishwasher.
- Regularly check that the magnetic force is still strong and the unit is free from damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the cutlery catcher actually work?
A: It uses a powerful, patented magnetic ring embedded within the plastic lid. As food waste is scraped through the opening, the magnet catches any magnetic metal cutlery before it falls into the bin bag.
Q: Will it fit the square bins I have in my kitchen?
A: This specific model, the HZ885, is designed exclusively for round 44-gallon (166.5Ltr) waste bins. It will not fit square or other-sized bins correctly.
Q: Is it difficult to get the captured cutlery off the magnet?
A: No, the cutlery is held firmly but can be easily removed by hand at the end of a shift. The magnetic force is designed for retrieval, not permanent bonding.
Q: My staff are always in a rush. Will this slow them down?
A: Not at all. The San Jamar HZ885 cutlery catcher features a large central opening, allowing staff to scrape plates quickly and efficiently without changing their workflow.
Q: Will it catch all types of stainless steel cutlery?
A: It will catch most standard commercial cutlery (18/0 stainless steel). It is designed *not* to attract high-grade 18/8 or 18/10 stainless steel, as this type is non-magnetic.
Q: Is the plastic strong enough for a busy kitchen environment?
A: Yes, it's constructed from a durable, high-impact plastic specifically designed to withstand the knocks, scrapes, and high temperatures of a commercial kitchen.
Q: Do I need any tools to install it?
A: No tools are required. You simply place it on top of a compatible bin, and it's ready to use immediately.
Q: Is the bin included with the purchase?
A: No, the round 44-gallon bin is sold separately. This product is the lid attachment only.
The San Jamar KatchAll: An Investment in Operational Smarts
Beyond the simple plastic and magnets lies the core philosophy of the San Jamar brand: creating ingeniously simple solutions to persistent, real-world problems in food service. The KatchAll isn't just a bin lid; it's a powerful tool for operational efficiency and cost control. For decades, San Jamar has built its reputation by observing professional kitchens and identifying those small, frustrating profit leaks that add up over time. The commercial KatchAll cutlery bin lid is a perfect example of this. It requires no power, no complex training, and minimal maintenance, yet delivers a tangible return on investment from day one. By installing one, you're not just buying a product; you're adopting a smarter, more sustainable way of managing your resources, reducing waste, and protecting your bottom line with a solution trusted by operators worldwide.

Ever wondered why the San Jamar KatchAll is smart enough not to grab *every* piece of metal? It’s all down to the type of stainless steel. Think of it like a special filter. Most standard, everyday canteen and restaurant cutlery (typically 18/0 or 13/0 grade) has a higher iron content, which makes it 'ferritic' – or in plain English, magnetic.
However, premium cutlery, often labelled '18/8' or '18/10', contains more nickel. This nickel content makes the steel 'austenitic', rendering it non-magnetic. The magnets in the KatchAll are specifically calibrated to be strong enough to grab the common, magnetic cutlery but not the non-magnetic, higher-grade stuff. This means it effectively saves your workhorse cutlery without clinging to expensive items it's not designed for. It’s a simple but very clever piece of engineering that makes it far more effective in a professional kitchen.
