Operating time
The slicers are designed for permanent operation.

2.2 Machine 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.

Noise level
During normal operation, the noise emission value according to DIN EN 11202 at the workstation is lower than 70 dB(A), related to the entire machine.
In sharpening mode, the noise level reaches temporarily up to 74 dB(A).
Vibration
The total vibration of the items, which get into contact with hand and arm is below 2.5 m/s and therefore below the required limited value.
