Berkel X13A-PLUS 13" Automatic Gravity Feed Slicer, 45° Table, Stainless Steel Knife, Gauge Plate Interlock, 1/2 HP, 120V
Description
A 13-inch automatic slicer with three speeds and three stroke lengths for high-volume deli and kitchen slicing.
The Berkel X13A-PLUS is the automatic model of the X13-PLUS series. It has a 13" hollow ground stainless steel knife, a 1/2 HP knife motor and a 45° gravity feed table with a full-length articulating rear pusher. The base, product table, pusher, support arm and upper housing are NSF approved engineered polymers that reduce seams, and a brushless DC table motor runs the carriage at 20, 40 or 60 slices per minute.

Plan a solid, level counter with room for the table stroke. A kick stand lifts the front about 6 inches for cleaning underneath.
3 speeds, 3 strokes
In automatic mode the table runs at 20, 40 or 60 slices per minute in 1/3, 2/3 or full stroke, so short products slice faster without speeding up the table. It returns home at the end of the cycle.
Fine slice control
A variable pitch barrel cam gives ultra-fine adjustment in the first turn of the index knob and opens to 15/16" (34 mm). The knob sits on the upper left, outside the drip zone.
Borazon sharpener
The removable, submersible, table-mounted two-stone dual-action sharpener uses Borazon stones that last longer, sharpen faster and clean easier.
Gauge plate interlock
Mechanical interlock with twisted wire aircraft cables: the table must be home and the gauge plate closed to remove the table, and the plate cannot open once it is off.
Seam-reduced body
One-piece NSF polymer base and product table, anodized aluminum gauge plate and center plate, sealed push-button switches out of the food zone.
Safety built in
No-volt release requires a restart after a power interruption, and a permanent ring guard covers the entire non-slicing part of the knife.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Berkel asks that shipping damage be reported to the carrier within 5 days of delivery.
- Get a second person to place the 98 lb. slicer on a solid, level surface free of obstructions.
- Unpack the sharpener, fence and brush from the pockets in the cardboard base, then slide the product table onto the support arm and lock it with the red knob.
- Plug into a properly grounded outlet with the three-prong plug provided; check the outlet voltage against the serial plate on the back of the slicer.
Questions buyers ask
What outlet does it need?
A grounded 120V outlet. The slicer is furnished in 120V, 60 Hz, single phase and has an attached 6 ft. 3-wire cord and plug.
How does automatic mode work?
Stop the slicer, pull the automatic engage knob out, choose the speed (20, 40 or 60 slices per minute) and the stroke length, then press start. Pressing stop finishes the stroke and parks the table at home.
What can it slice?
Boneless meat, cheese and vegetables. Berkel says it is not for frozen foods, bone-in products or non-food items.
How large a product fits?
Rectangular product up to 10-1/2" x 6-3/4", square up to 7-1/2" or round up to 8-1/2".
What comes in the box?
The sharpener, product fence and a brush are packed in the cardboard base with the slicer.
What accessories are available?
Berkel lists a vegetable chute with pusher, a product fence and a slaw tray.
What warranty does it have?
Berkel covers parts, labor and travel for one year, excluding wear items such as knives, blades and sharpening stones. Repairs go through Hobart Service or a Designated Berkel Service Location.
