Bizerba offers a sophisticated line of slicers to serve the diverse and exacting needs of the US food industry, according to the company.

For artisans who value a hands-on approach, Bizerba’s manual meat slicers deliver control and craftsmanship, while the company’s semi-automatic and fully automatic slicers cater to efficiency and consistency for high-volume demands.

Bizerba’s gravity slicer stands out for effortless operation with precise results, making it a favorite for delis and commercial kitchens alike.

“Our machines, including the versatile deli slicer, emphasize precision, user comfort, and ease of cleaning, which are essential for a fast-paced industry,” according to the company. “With Bizerba slicers, you can expect a combination of ergonomic design and enduring construction, ensuring operational excellence in your food processing tasks.”

The Bizerba manual vertical slicer VSP with Meat Carriage, for instance, is a top-of-the-line solution for professional kitchens, cafeterias, and sales counters looking for a reliable and efficient way to slice meat products.

It’s specifically designed to handle even the largest and heaviest pieces of meat with ease, ensuring hygienic slicing of moist cuts thanks to its uniquely designed feeding carriage, according to the company.

The VSP model stands out with its SmarterSlicing functions, which include an early warning system with indicators for cleaning, sharpening, and maintenance.

“This smart technology not only supports the user in obtaining perfectly sliced fresh products but also ensures the machine’s availability,” according to the company. 

“The slicer’s intelligent, energy-saving Emotion drive technology and integrated portion scale further enhance its efficiency by automatically counting slices and indicating the weight on the touch screen.”

For retailers dealing with particularly large cuts of meat, the VSP offers blade sizes of 350 mm or 370 mm in diameter, catering to a variety of slicing needs. The machine’s hygienic design is another highlight, featuring tool-free disassembly and removable, dishwasher-safe Ceraclean parts. The large distance between the blade and motor tower facilitates easy cleaning by hand.

And for control and data management, the VSP excels with its FoodConnect interface and RetailControl management software, allowing for transparent monitoring and central data management, according to Bizerba.

Users can also control the blade speed directly on the touch screen, adding to the slicer’s convenience and precision, a big advantage for retail delis struggling with staffing issues. 

“It’s an exceptional choice for those seeking a manual vertical slicer for meat that combines ergonomic design with advanced technology for smarter, more efficient slicing operations.”
