Berkel B12-SLC 12" Manual Gravity Feed Meat Slicer, 1/2 HP, Chromium-Plated Knife, 45° Table, 115V
Description
A compact 12" manual gravity feed slicer for deli meats, cheese and other foods on a busy counter.
The Berkel B12-SLC pairs a 12" hollow ground, chromium-plated carbon steel knife with a 1/2 HP motor and a 45° product table that feeds by gravity. The permanent, tapered ring guard covers the non-slicing edge even with the center plate removed, and the slicer comes apart without tools for cleaning. It plugs into a standard 115V grounded outlet with a 5-15P plug.
