Centerline Hobart EDGE13A-11 – 13″ Automatic Slicer

Centerline Hobart EDGE13A-11 – Value-Driven Automation for Modern Kitchens

The Centerline Hobart EDGE13A-11 is a 13″ Automatic Slicer designed for operators who need the legendary Hobart reliability in an affordable automatic package. Look, the reality of a high-volume kitchen is that gear failure isn’t an option when your prep list is long and your staff is stretched thin. By sourcing from a professional commercial coffee and kitchen equipment distributor, you gain an automatic carriage system that handles the heavy lifting of slicing at 45 strokes per minute. This unit is the perfect bridge between manual prep and full industrial automation.

1/2 HP Poly-V Belt Drive and 45 Stroke/Min Automation

The Centerline Hobart EDGE13A-11 features a 13-inch chrome-plated carbon steel knife and a 1/2 HP motor engineered to manage mechanical fatigue during peak hours. The Poly-V belt drive system provides high-traction power transfer, calculating to an actual labor efficiency gain by automating the stroke at a consistent 45 cycles per minute. This means your team can achieve high-volume output while focusing on other tasks, protecting your profit margins through increased productivity and consistent slice quality. The top-mounted Borazon stone sharpener maintains a razor edge in seconds, while the one-piece anodized aluminum base ensures high sanitation efficiency. The 45-degree product table utilizes gravity to assist the automatic stroke for a smooth, consistent yield.
