GENERAL DESCRIPTIONGENERAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The sl c ng mach ne has been des gned and made
to offer max mum safety when n use, dur ng
clean ng and ord nary ma ntenance; max mum
hyg ene from the use of nox d sable mater als or
adequately protected aga nst ox d sat on together
w th an attent ve des gn of all the parts that come
nto contact w th food; max mum cutt ng prec s on
and capac ty together w th sturd ness and rel ab l ty
of the structure.
The mach ne s essent ally made up of a base that
holds a c rcular blade that s vert cally mounted and
a sl d ng carr age on bars, parallel to the cutt ng
edge of the blade, wh ch n turn holds a food plate.
The food plate s made up of a base plate and an
overplate wh ch sl des at r ght angles to the edge of
the blade for sl c ng the food; the overplate also has
an appropr ate selfstopp ng dev ce, wh ch can be
regulated n he ght, to keep the product n ts proper
place dur ng cutt ng operat ons (food press).
Carr age movement and blade rotat on are
completely manual; by act vat ng rotat on of the
flywheel w th the spec al handle the carr age s put
nto mot on and at the same t me w th a cha n
transm ss on the blade s turned.
The product s cut dur ng the forward movement of
the carr age, parallel to the blade; the th ckness of
the sl ce s regulated by a mechan cal dev ce wh ch
s automat cally started every t me the carr age
comes back, mak ng the sl d ng overplate
transversally towards the blade, w th a value wh ch
s pre-determ ned by the graduated handwheel.
All the components of the mach ne are made of a
l ght alum n um alloy, n sta nless steel and plast c
for food products as accord ng to the san tary
regulat ons n force.
The mach ne has a sharpener wh ch s extremely
easy and safe to use.
The food plate, sharpener and blade cover can be
removed for clean ng.
