- The Transversal Cutting Principle allows for precise high-speed slicing while maintaining an excellent slicing quality resulting in a very long shelf-life for the fresh sliced products.
- Integrated and standard Variable Frequency Drives (VFD’s) offer a precise speed control and maximum flexibility producing different cut sizes.
- Can be fed manually or by any feeding system as long as the product is fed to the machine evenly.
- The wide infeed channel is designed to align slender products towards the slicing wheel.
- The long infeed section will ensure that the product is perfectly aligned in order to prevent it from tumbling while it is fed into the slicing wheel.
Hygiene

Flexibility & User-friendliness
- A compact touchscreen offers a simplified easy-to-follow operator interface for quick set-up and rapid product changeover.
- You can store and select your list of cutting applications, including the exact cutting sizes and speeds, making operations easy even for unexperienced operators.
Safety
- The trapped safety key can only be removed from the control cabinet after all rotary parts have come to a complete stop, which guarantees the safety of your operators.

Cutting Principle
The 24 series slicing wheels, in combination with the selected or programmed speed on the VFD‘s of the feed belts and slicing wheel, will maintain the speed of the product while it is being sliced, without the need of motorized hold-down belts for most of the products.
The high speed of the knives combined with the unique cutting method produces uniform slices with a smooth surface and a minimum of breakage and ragged ends, thus increasing the shelf-life of your products.
