Industrial slicer for natural shaped products

Achieve precise and high-speed slicing of diverse food products, optimizing yield and portion control with advanced technology designed for continuous, efficient production.

Slices and Portions Cheese and Meats Efficiently

The GEA DualSlicer II 1850 from GEA is a high-speed industrial slicer tailored for the precise slicing of cheese and meats, including products like cheddar, Swiss cheese with holes, prosciutto, and smoked bacon. This slicer features twin, independent drives and traction systems, allowing for simultaneous processing of two logs with different diameters and lengths. Its unique involute blade technology ensures consistent slice thickness and minimal product giveaway, crucial for achieving high yield in food processing operations. Capable of slicing a wide array of portion types—such as stacks, shingles, and interleaved portions—this machine is an integral part of industrial operations in food, dairy, and meat processing industries. The slicer’s automatic product loading, combined with options like the GEA OptiScanner for density-based slicing accuracy and the GEA Check 4000 for precise portion weighing, enhances its integration capability into existing production lines. With a capacity for handling products up to 1,850mm long and a maximum blade speed of 1,500 rpm, the GEA DualSlicer II excels in continuous, high-speed operations. Maintenance is simplified with easy access for cleaning, ensuring compliance with stringent hygiene standards. Additionally, this machine offers remote monitoring and preventive maintenance options, supported by GEA’s extensive engineering expertise.
