How to Choose a Meat Slicer
Learn about the key factors to consider when choosing the right commercial meat slicer for your business.
Here are the keys factors to consider when selecting the right commercial meat slicer for your business. First, consider how frequently you plan to use your slicer. A light-duty slicer can operate up to 2 hours per day. It cannot be used for cheese slicing.
A medium-duty slicer can operate up to 4 hours per day. It allows for 1-2 hours of cheese slicing per day. It offers more power and durability at an affordable price point.
Finally, a heavy-duty slicer can be used all day for both meat and cheese slicing. It offers the best in terms of strength, durability, and consistency.
Next, decide if you need an automatic or manual slicer. Automatic units move product back and forth against the blade for safe, high-volume slicing. They deliver superior precision while also saving you time and labor.
Manual units are what most businesses are used to, requiring an operator to manually slide product across the blade for slicing.
Other factors to consider when choosing a meat slicer include horsepower—consider that ½ HP is necessary to slice cheese—blade size, and ease of sanitation. Now you can confidently choose the right commercial meat slicer for your business.
