Berkel Flywheel Machines

Berkel Flywheel Slicers

Berkel’s sophisticated mechanics take the high precision of manually slicing fine ham specialties—without generating heat—to a whole new level. This traditional technique prevents fats from melting during the slicing process, thereby fully preserving the flavor of the fine meat products in the front-of-house cooking area. With their distinctive aesthetics and striking red or black design, these devices also serve as a visual focal point in any dining area.

Models such as the compact B2 version feature a flat flywheel that protrudes only 33 millimeters from the countertop surface, allowing the drawers below to open unobstructed. For professional continuous operation, larger series such as the B114 or the B116 feature a circumferential safety ring—activated mechanically or automatically—to ensure reliable blade protection. High-quality materials, such as anodized aluminum for the product holders and stainless steel for the cutting plate, ensure lasting mechanical stability and durability. The mechanical cut thickness adjustment, accurate to the millimeter, allows qualified personnel to reproducibly cut wafer-thin slices ranging from 0.15 millimeters to 1.3 millimeters.

An integrated sharpening device ensures that the chrome-plated steel blade on all models maintains its precise sharpness at all times. In addition to these mechanical devices, INTERGASTRO offers a wide selection of practical accessories, such as a matching stand, to round out the setup in the sales area in a flexible and stable manner. The tool-free removal of the slide, residue holder, and shelf also ensures efficient cleaning while adhering to the strictest hygiene standards during operation. Thus, these historical reproductions, such as the L16 model, combine traditional craftsmanship with modern requirements for functional operational reliability.
