4.3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This slicer has been designed and built to pro-
vide maximum safety during use, cleaning and
routine maintenance. Maximum hygiene is ob-
tained with the use of stainless materials or
materials that have been otherwise adequately
protected against oxidation together with the
careful design of all those parts that may come
into contact with products to be sliced. Extreme
cutting precision and capacity together with
structural robustness and reliability.
The machine is essentially composed of a base
supporting a circular blade set vertically and a
sliding trolley on suitable guides parallel to the
blade, which in turn supports a product-holder
plate.
The product-holder plate itself is composed of a
base plate and a feed plate that slides orthog-
onally with respect to the blade for the product
being sliced. The feed plate is also provided
with a height-adjustable self-locking device to
keep the product in the necessary position dur-
ing cutting (top clamp).
Trolley movement and blade rotation are fully
manual. Activate rotation using the flywheel via
the corresponding handle and a lever will move
the trolley and, at the same time, a chain return
will provide blade rotation.
Product cutting is carried out during the forward
stroke of the trolley, parallel to the blade. The
thickness of the slice can be adjusted by means
of the mechanical device which is automatically
activated upon each return stroke of the trolley,
moving the sliding feed plate with the product
in the transverse direction, toward the blade, at
a value pre-set using the corresponding gradu-
ated hand wheel.
All machine components are made of light alu-
minium alloy, in stainless steel and in plastic ma-
terials for food use in compliance with sanitary
regulations in force.
The machine is equipped with a sharpener built
for ease of use and safety.
The product-holder plate, sharpener and fingers
guard can be removed for cleaning.
