Precisely for these characteristics, the Berkel model B slicer has become a synonym of elegance, taste and style.
The Berkel model B slicer has an uncovered sharpener with opposing wheels for sharpening, the cutting thickness regulator is a graduated pin fixed on the base of the slicer as in models L – R – 1 – 2 – 50 – NS – NL.
The product fixing vice is made up of two opposing rack rods, joined by a toothed arm which acts on the product to be sliced and is inserted by interlocking above the sliding carriage.
The shoulder has the classic round and closed shape, on it the hub that supports the blade is fixed, on the shoulder the glove box is fixed which vertically has a nickel-plated iron sheet while the horizontal part where the sliced product falls is in opal glass White.
