Commercial Meat Slicers
Commercial meat slicers are essential pieces of equipment in delis, butcher shops, grocery stores, and commercial kitchens. Designed to produce consistent, even slices of meat, cheese, and other deli products, these machines help reduce labor time while ensuring uniformity in presentation and portion sizes. Whether you’re slicing roast beef for sandwiches or portioning cured meats for charcuterie, a commercial slicer increases both efficiency and precision in food prep operations.
There are two main types of meat slicers: manual and automatic. Manual slicers require the operator to move the carriage back and forth across the blade, while automatic slicers use a motorized carriage for continuous slicing—ideal for high-volume environments. Many slicers also offer adjustable thickness settings, allowing you to customize slice size from paper-thin cuts to thicker portions suitable for cooked or raw meats.
Blade size is another key factor to consider. Smaller slicers with 9" to 12" blades are suitable for light to medium-duty use, such as in coffee shops or cafes. Heavy-duty slicers with larger 13" or 14" blades are better suited for busy delis and meat departments that need to process larger cuts or work through a high volume of product daily. Most blades are made of stainless steel for durability and easy cleaning.
Look for slicers with built-in safety features such as blade guards, non-slip feet, and automatic shut-off mechanisms. Easy-to-remove components also make cleaning and sanitizing more straightforward, which is crucial for preventing cross-contamination. Some models are also NSF Certified, ensuring they meet strict hygiene and safety standards for foodservice environments.
