Industrial slicer for sausage, ham, and cheese
Achieve precise and consistent slicing for meats and cheeses while minimizing waste with high-yield portion control, making it an ideal solution for enhancing product presentation and reducing production costs.
Slices and Portions Food Products Precisely
The GEA MegaSlicer XXL from GEA is an industrial involute blade slicer designed to enhance your food processing operations. This high-precision machine is engineered to tackle the complexities of slicing products such as cooked and raw ham, cheese, calibrated sausage, and salami. Utilizing a patented idle cut rotor technology, it ensures a consistent slice thickness and minimizes sliver slices, even at high speeds for soft products like boiled sausage.
Commonly integrated into fully automated production lines, the MegaSlicer XXL supports a range of applications, delivering end-products including neatly sliced bacon and perfectly portioned cheese slices. The machine’s automation features include automatic product loading and options for weighing, scanning, interleaving, and folding, making it versatile for various portion forms like shingle and zig-zag stacking.
Processing capacity is emphasized through its capability to handle products up to 1,830 mm in length with a maximum blade speed of 1,500 rpm. A PLC-controlled interface on a 15″ touch panel facilitates easy operation, recipe changeovers, and real-time monitoring, allowing for fast gripper, blade, and product adjustments. Designed with hygiene in mind, the MegaSlicer provides excellent access for cleaning, with tool-free removal of side panels for maintenance.
Customizable with various add-ons such as the GEA Check 4000 weighing system and the GEA OptiScanner, this slicer can be tailored to your specific production needs, helping to reduce material give-away and optimize yield. Available in stainless steel, it meets food safety compliance standards and supports long-term reliability in meat processing and dairy environments.
