GROTE SLICER

• Precision slicing of various meat products for deli counters, ready meals, and further processing.
• Uniform portioning of cheese blocks and wheels for retail packaging and food service.
• High-speed slicing of pepperoni, ham, and other toppings for the pizza manufacturing industry.
• Preparation of consistent slices for sandwich production lines and catering operations.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from 60 to 200 slices per minute per lane, depending on product type and slice thickness.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with power consumption varying based on motor size and operational load.

Slice thickness range

A typical slice thickness range for precision slicers is from 0.5mm to 50mm, adjustable to suit specific product requirements.

Product dimensions

This class of slicer is generally designed to handle product logs with a maximum cross-section of around 250mm x 120mm and lengths up to 1000mm.

Construction material

Food processing slicers are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Control system

Modern units often feature servo-driven controls for precise movement and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) for recipe management.

• What does 'twin axis slicing' mean?

  Twin axis slicing typically refers to machines that can move the product and/or the blade in two independent axes, allowing for highly precise and often angled or shingled slice placement.

• Is this machine suitable for frozen products?

• What maintenance is typically required for a slicer like this?

• Can this machine handle different product types without extensive changeovers?

• What are the common safety features on such equipment?

Used meat slicers are valued for their durability and consistent performance in food processing operations. Buyers typically prioritise machines with minimal blade wear, robust safety guards, and well-maintained mechanical components. Key strengths include reliable cutting precision and longevity when properly serviced. When purchasing secondhand equipment, inspecting the blade condition, motor function, and cleanliness is essential. These machines generally hold good resale value and remain cost-effective investments for established processors seeking proven equipment.
