Commercial Deli Meat Slicer

Delis around the world have used commercial meat slicers for years to cut and prepare lunch meat and similar deli foods. They are also relied on by restaurants to cut fresh food products and prepare everything from frozen meat and seafood, to cheeses and bread.

The key to making sure you select the right meat slicer are to consider the following:

• Speed: Slicers are capable of different rates of production. Make sure yours can keep up with your production goals.
• Blade Size: Slicers have blade sizes that typically range from 8 inches to 14 inches. Make sure your slicer has a blade large enough to cut your products.
• Cheese Capability: Not all slicers are able to effectively cut cheese. If you are planning to cut cheese with your slicer, make sure you select a meat slicer with that feature.
• Built In Sharpening. Some slicers have built in sharpeners. It can be a time saving feature while performing maintenance and help maintain safety and consistency.
• Automation. Increase performance and safety using automatic slicing features built into some slicers.
• Anti-Stick Coating. Look for anti stick coatings to help ease cutting and cleanup.
• Durability. Deli slicers use either belts or gears to turn the cutting wheel. Consider gear driven models if you anticipate heavy duty or frequent use.
• Adjustable. Most slicers allow you to select the width of your slices. However, some slicers will offer additional features and allow you to change speeds and offer ergonomic enhancements. Consider comparing the adjustability features of the slicer you are interested in with your unique needs.
• Product tray. Don’t forget to check if the products you are slicing will fit on the product tray. Making sure your tray is large enough will help you increase safety and performance.
• Industrial: High-volume operations may require custom or special meat slicers designed with industrial meat cutting in mind. Please call us if you require information on industrial meat cutting and production.
