CFS Slicing and Packing Line

• Producing consistent slices of various food products, including cooked meats, cheeses, and some vegetables.
• Packaging sliced products into modified atmosphere or vacuum packs for extended shelf life.
• High-volume production environments requiring integrated slicing and packaging solutions.
• Portion control and presentation for retail and foodservice sectors.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from 200 to 600 slices per minute, depending on product and slice thickness.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage requirements.

Footprint

An integrated slicing and thermoforming line will require a significant operational footprint, typically several metres in length.

Product dimensions

Slicers in this category are generally designed to handle product loaves or blocks up to 300mm in width and 150mm in height.

Packaging material compatibility

Thermoformers commonly utilise flexible and semi-rigid films, suitable for vacuum or gas flush applications.

Control system

Modern units typically feature PLC control with a touchscreen HMI for parameter adjustment and recipe management.

• What kind of products can this line process?

  This type of line is primarily designed for slicing and packaging a range of deli meats, cheeses, and certain processed food items. Product consistency is key for optimal slicing performance.

• Is this line suitable for different slice thicknesses?

• What maintenance is typically required for such a line?

• Can the thermoformer be used for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP)?

• What safety features are typically included?

Food processing slicers are considered reliable workhorses in commercial kitchens and production facilities. Buyers typically value consistent blade sharpness, robust construction, and ease of cleaning. When purchasing used models, it is important to inspect blade condition carefully, verify motor functionality, and check safety guards remain intact. Industry sentiment favours machines from established manufacturers known for durability. Common strengths include uniform slicing precision, high throughput capacity, and relatively straightforward maintenance. Buyers should confirm spare parts availability before purchase.
