– All kinds of cold cuts, deli meat
– Ham, bacon
– Smoked ham with / without rind
– Roast meats, roast beef
– Meat, roulades
– Sliceable cheese
– Bread
– Fruit, vegetables
Note: If cheese is the main product being sliced, we recommend using a special cheese

Applications
The slicers in the VS12D series are intended for installation in the sales area. Installation
in preparation areas is permissible, making allowances for a cleaning plan and protection
type IP 33.
Permissible ambient temperatures from -10°C up to 40°C.
Operating time
The slicers are designed for permanent operation.
2.2 Machine description
Drive
The drive systems for blade, carriage, depositing table, depositing arm and chains are
separated. The blade motor is operated with supply voltage; the other drives are operated
with mains voltage.
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.
The functional keys are integrated in the membrane keyboard.
Depositing system
The slicer is equipped with an automatic slice depositing system. The depositing system
deposits slices with a max. slice thickness of 8 mm. A max. slice thickness of 24 mm can
be reached without depositing system and with unlocked slice thickness limit.
The depositing system consists of a chain frame with transport chain, feed roller with guide
cam as well as depositing arm and depositing table incl. paper holder.
The depositing system is controlled by means of an encoder depending on carriage speed
and carriage stroke.
Product holder
The product holder can be lifted up into an unstable equilibrium in order to insert the product for slicing (VS12D).
The product holder can be locked or unlocked in order to insert the product. Can be removed for cleaning (VS12D-V).
Carriage
The carriage with the additional product fixation holds the sliced product (VS12D) in place
and prevents it from slipping or tilting.
The carriage with the product fixation holds the sliced product in place and prevents it from
slipping or tilting (VS 12D-V).
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.

Materials
The complete machine housing as well as the gauge plate, blade cover and carriage, are
made of anodized aluminium.
Optionally the surface can be finished with Ceraclean (VS12CD).
The back panel , the slider guard and the remnant holder plate 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.
Work place-related emission noise level value
LpA = 53 dB (A). The value takes into consideration an instable measuring of 3 dB.
Vibration
The total vibration of the items, which get into contact with hand and arm is below 2.5 m/s
2
and therefore below the required limited value.
