Operating time
The slicers are designed for permanent operation.
2.2Machine description
Drive
The blade of the vertical slicer is electrically powered. The low-noise, low-maintenance
drive is effected via a multi-ribbed belt, via an AC or 3-phase motor.
The contactor control having a self-locking circuit prevents automatic restarting after a
power cut.
The membrane keyboard On/Off with signal lamp is located on the motor tower.
Product holder
For product insertion, the products holder is lifted up into an unstable equilibrium. (VS12,
VS12F, VS12W)
The product holder has a clamping device. (VS12F-P)
Carriage
The carriage with the additional product fixation holds the sliced product in place and prevents it from slipping or tilting. (VS12, VS12W)
The carriage with additional feed carriage is particularly suitable for slicing of large products. (VS12F, VS12F-P)
At a slice thickness set below "0" the tilting device of the carriage is unlocked. This allows
the carriage to be tilted to the outside in any position.
Scale
The slicer with integrated scale allows for products to be sliced and weighed at the same
time. (VS12W)
Materials
The complete machine housing as well as the gauge plate, blade cover, carriage, product
feed carriage and remnant holder plate of the VS12F-P are made of anodized aluminium.
Optionally the surface can be finished with Ceraclean (VS12C, VS12CW, VS12CF,
VS12CF33, VS12CF33/W).
The back panel, the slider guard and the remnant holder plate of the VS12, VS12F,
VS12W are made of transparent, break-proof and food-grade plastic, which is approved
for foodstuffs.
For better gliding of the product, parts which are in contact with the product to be sliced
are provided with grooves.
All materials used in the food zone and in the working area comply with the food hygiene
regulations. For bearings in visual range, food-grade lubricants are used.
