Ecoline by Hobart ECO12-1 – 12″ Manual Meat Slicer

Ecoline by Hobart ECO12-1 – High-Torque 12″ Precision for Dense Proteins

The Ecoline by Hobart ECO12-1 is a 12″ Manual Meat Slicer engineered for operators who need the highest possible torque in a 12-inch frame. Look, the reality of a high-volume kitchen is that gear failure isn’t an option when you’re slicing blocks of dense cheese that cause standard belts to slip. By sourcing from a professional commercial coffee and kitchen equipment distributor, you secure a 1/2 HP permanent motor that delivers relentless power. This unit is the powerhouse for heavy-duty manual prep in a compact size.

1/2 HP Permanent Motor and Poly-V Belt Drive

The Ecoline ECO12-1 features a 12-inch carbon steel knife and a heavy-duty motor designed to manage mechanical fatigue during four hours of daily use. This technical driver provides more power than almost any other 12-inch slicer in its class, calculating to a significant labor efficiency gain when processing chilled meats and cheeses. This means your staff achieves uniform slices even on the toughest products, protecting your profit margins through increased throughput and reduced product tearing. The unit ensures high sanitation efficiency with its one-piece anodized aluminum base and tool-free disassembly. The Borazon stone sharpener maintains a factory edge with minimal stone wear.
