Berkel B12-SLC – 12″ Manual Gravity Meat Slicer

Berkel B12-SLC – 12″ Artisanal Precision with Hollow-Ground Efficiency

The Berkel B12-SLC is a 12″ Manual Gravity Meat Slicer engineered for operators who refuse to compromise on the texture and presentation of their deli proteins. Look, the reality of a high-volume kitchen is that gear failure isn’t an option when you are serving premium charcuterie that requires a delicate touch. By sourcing from a professional commercial coffee and kitchen equipment distributor, you secure a hollow-ground knife that provides the cleanest cut in the industry. This unit is the global standard for achieving “shaved” deli textures with manual control.

Hollow-Ground Knife and 45-Degree Gravity Feed

The Berkel B12-SLC features a 12-inch chromium-plated carbon steel knife and a 1/2 HP motor designed to manage mechanical fatigue during heavy-duty manual shifts. The hollow-ground blade design reduces surface friction, calculating to a higher extraction of yield from delicate proteins like prosciutto. This means your team achieves professional presentation on every plate, protecting your profit margins through zero product tearing and reduced waste. The unit ensures high sanitation efficiency with its seamless anodized aluminum construction and removable carriage. The 45-degree gravity feed allows the product’s weight to assist the stroke, ensuring uniform results with minimal physical effort. The permanent ring guard provides industry-leading safety during operation.
