The Sirman Mirra 300 is a gravity feed slicer built around a 300mm blade, designed to slice cooked and cured meats, hard cheeses, and similar deli-style produce at consistent, adjustable thicknesses. It occupies the medium duty category — meaningfully more capable than a light entry-level machine, but not engineered for the unrelenting continuous throughput of a full heavy duty unit.
In a working kitchen, the Mirra 300 performs reliably across steady, regular slicing demands. The ventilated motor is rated for extended continuous use, so operators are not forced to rest the machine between tasks during a busy prep session. The self-lubricating carriage bushes contribute to smooth, even passes across the blade without requiring attention to the mechanism mid-service. It handles the kind of volume that a deli counter, hotel breakfast station, bistro, or sandwich operation would typically generate across a day.
The practical operational advantages include:
- Adjustable slicing thickness for precise control across different products and portions
- Built-in blade sharpener maintains cutting performance without external servicing
- Anodised aluminium body resists corrosion and cleans down efficiently after service
- Generous clearance between blade and body frame makes thorough daily cleaning more manageable
- Permanent blade rim guard and emergency stop button support safe routine operation
The Mirra 300 is a countertop unit and requires a firm, level worktop with adequate clearance on all sides for safe carriage travel and cleaning access. It connects to a standard single-phase supply and needs no specialist installation beyond a stable, dedicated section of bench. It is not suitable for floor mounting.
This slicer is a practical fit for operations that need dependable daily slicing without the cost or footprint of a heavy duty machine. If your site runs continuous slicing across long service periods or processes particularly high volumes, a heavier duty model is worth considering. Equally, if slicing is only occasional, a smaller blade unit may represent better value for the work involved.
If you want to talk through whether the Mirra 300 suits your particular operation, our team is glad to help you work it out before you order.

The Sirman Canova 300 is a gravity feed slicer built for regular, demanding use in commercial settings. With a 300mm blade and robust construction throughout, it handles continuous slicing of cooked meats, charcuterie, cheese and similar produce without the performance drop-off common in lighter-duty machines pushed beyond their intended limits.
In a working kitchen or deli counter, consistency during service matters more than headline specifications. The Canova 300's fan-cooled motor resists heat build-up during extended runs — the point at which cheaper slicers begin to labour. The large carriage runs on self-lubricating bearings, delivering a smooth, consistent stroke that supports accurate, repeatable slice thickness throughout a busy prep or service session.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the machine has been designed with practical use in mind:
- Built-in blade sharpener maintains cutting performance without taking the machine out of service
- Rounded bodywork with no exposed screws reduces harbourage points and simplifies cleaning
- Generous clearance between blade and body makes thorough sanitation more straightforward
- Permanently mounted blade guard supports safer operation during both use and cleaning
- Adjustable slice thickness gives operators precise control across different produce types
Installation is straightforward. This is a countertop unit that requires a stable, level surface and a standard mains supply. Allow adequate counter depth and clear working space around the full carriage travel. The surface should be firm and slip-resistant, and the machine positioned where it will not impede workflow or create a hazard during busy periods.
The Canova 300 is well suited to delis, butchers, hotel kitchens, staff catering operations and busy restaurants where slicing forms a regular part of daily preparation. It is a capable machine for medium to large operations. Sites with very high throughput demands — large-scale production kitchens or central preparation units — may find it worth considering whether a higher-capacity model would better match the workload.
If you would like to talk through whether the Canova 300 is the right choice for your operation, our team is glad to help before you make a decision.
£689.00(£826.80 inc VAT)
The Metcalfe NS220 is a countertop gravity feed slicer designed for light to medium duty use in smaller commercial environments. It handles cooked meats, charcuterie, cheese, and similar products, with slice thickness adjustable from zero up to 12mm. The hollow ground chromed carbon steel blade is driven by a twin poly V-belt transmission, and the body is constructed from anodised aluminium — practical to clean and built to withstand regular daily use without being overengineered for the task.
In service, the NS220 performs consistently when working through a steady volume of product across a typical trading day. The ball-bearing mounted carriage moves smoothly through each pass, which helps produce uniform slices — a practical advantage where presentation matters and trim waste needs to be kept in check. The belt-drive transmission runs quietly, which makes it a reasonable choice for front-of-house positions such as deli counters where a noisy machine would be out of place.
From an operational standpoint, a few things are worth noting:
- Built-in self-aligning sharpener maintains blade performance without external re-grinding
- Straightforward thickness adjustment allows quick changes between products during service
- Carriage detaches cleanly for thorough end-of-day cleaning
- Anodised aluminium construction resists corrosion and supports food hygiene compliance
- Quiet running suits customer-facing and front-of-house settings
Installation requires nothing more than a stable worktop and a standard mains socket — no specialist electrical work, no plumbing. Allow adequate clear space around the carriage for safe operation and cleaning access. This machine is not intended for sites processing large volumes on a continuous basis; where sustained high-cycle throughput is required, a heavier-duty slicer would be a more appropriate choice.
The NS220 is well suited to delis, cafes, small restaurants, farm shops, and workplace or school catering operations where a reliable, easy-to-maintain slicer is needed for regular but not industrial volumes. If you are weighing this model against alternatives based on your expected service volume, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
£4,313.00(£5,175.60 inc VAT)
The Metcalfe RET300 is a hand-operated flywheel slicer built in the traditional vertical style. Finished in red enamel with aluminium and stainless steel construction, it is designed for slicing cured meats, cold cuts, and charcuterie to order. The flywheel mechanism coordinates the carriage and blade in a single geared action — as the wheel turns, the product advances towards the blade automatically, giving the operator consistent, repeatable control over each slice without managing blade-to-product contact manually.
This type of slicer is best understood as a precision instrument rather than a production tool. It performs well in environments where slicing takes place in front of customers and the process itself contributes to the experience. The chrome-plated blade allows for fine, accurate cuts with minimal waste — particularly valuable when working with high-value cured meats where consistency matters on every slice.
From a practical standpoint, the RET300 offers several operational advantages worth noting:
- Fully geared flywheel delivers consistent slice thickness without mid-cut adjustment
- Double sliding plate with lockable grip holds product firmly throughout the slicing action
- Generous clearance between blade and head simplifies cleaning and reduces food trap points
- Red enamel finish is hardwearing; alternative colours are available on special order
Installation is straightforward — the RET300 is freestanding and requires no electrical, gas, or water connections. It does carry meaningful weight, so a stable, level surface is essential. A matching pedestal stand is available separately and is worth considering for front-of-house use, both for ergonomics and presentation. This unit is not suited to continuous high-volume slicing; operations processing large quantities throughout the day would be better served by a motorised slicer.
The RET300 suits delis, specialist food retailers, charcuterie counters, and front-of-house settings where the craft element of slicing is part of what customers come for. For back-of-house or production environments where throughput is the primary requirement, a motorised alternative would be the more practical choice.
If you would like to talk through whether this slicer fits your setup, or compare it against other options in the range, our team is happy to help you work it through.
£4,166.00(£4,999.20 inc VAT)
The Sammic GAE-350 is a gear-driven automatic electric slicer with a 350mm blade and a motorised carriage system driven by two independent motors — one for the blade, one for the carriage. This separation allows the machine to run through slicing cycles continuously without the operator feeding each pass manually, which makes a meaningful difference when volume is sustained over a long session.
In practice, this type of slicer earns its place in operations where slicing is a regular, high-volume task rather than an occasional one. Delicatessen counters, hotel banqueting and breakfast preparation teams, butchery sections, and production catering kitchens are the environments where the GAE-350 performs consistently. The gear-driven mechanism and life-lubricated carriage bearings are built for repeatable, reliable use across extended slicing runs, and the anodised aluminium construction holds up well under the daily demands of a working commercial kitchen.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:
- Automatic motorised carriage removes the need for continuous manual operation during extended runs
- Built-in precision sharpener maintains blade condition without additional tooling
- Adjustable carriage run length accommodates varying product sizes, reducing reset time mid-session
- Slice counter supports portion control and production planning across a service
- Carriage lock and blade removal tool make end-of-day cleaning more thorough and manageable
The GAE-350 requires a standard single-phase electrical supply and a stable, level work surface with adequate clearance around the unit for safe product loading. The ventilated motor housing supports prolonged use, but rear clearance for airflow should not be overlooked. A dedicated slicer stand or a solid, heavy-duty bench is strongly advisable given the unit's weight and vibration during operation. Daily cleaning — covering the blade guard, ring guard, and carriage — needs to be factored into your end-of-service routine and should not be rushed.
This slicer is well suited to mid-to-high-output kitchens where consistent slice quality across large volumes matters or where manual slicing has become a bottleneck in production. Where slicing is light or infrequent, a manual or semi-automatic model represents a more proportionate investment. At the other end of the scale, operations running continuous high-throughput production lines may find a heavier-duty model a better long-term fit for their output requirements.
If you are weighing up whether the GAE-350 is the right fit for your service volume and setup, our team is glad to talk it through with you.
£976.00(£1,171.20 inc VAT)
The Metcalfe NS250HD is a heavy-duty countertop food slicer built for commercial operations where the machine is expected to perform consistently throughout the day, not just for the occasional task. Its 250mm hollow ground chromed carbon steel blade and anodised food-grade aluminium construction reflect the kind of build standard that high-frequency slicing environments demand.
In a busy deli counter, supermarket, or high-volume canteen, lighter machines are quickly exposed by sustained throughput. The NS250HD is designed for that kind of workload. The twin poly-V belt driven transmission runs smoothly and quietly, and can be adjusted without tools — a practical advantage when a machine needs to be turned around quickly between service periods. The ball-bearing mounted carriage travels evenly across its full range, which supports consistent slice quality even when demand is at its peak.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the NS250HD is well considered for a working commercial environment:
- Slice thickness adjustable from 0 to 13mm, giving flexibility across cooked meats, cured meats, cheese, and similar products
- Built-in self-aligning sharpener and de-burring unit maintains blade performance without a separate tool
- Carriage, blade cover, blade, and sharpening unit are all detachable for thorough, compliant cleaning
- Smooth rounded edges and a transparent slicing guard support safe handling and hygiene compliance
- Full blade interlocking and guarding meets CE safety requirements, including during cleaning procedures
The NS250HD is a countertop unit and requires a stable, level surface with adequate clearance for the full carriage travel. It runs on a standard single-phase supply and requires no water or gas connection. The footprint when the carriage is fully extended is substantial, so operators should confirm available counter space before ordering — this is worth checking carefully in tighter prep areas.
This model is well suited to delis, supermarket counters, canteens, and restaurant kitchens where slicing is a regular, high-frequency task throughout service. It sits toward the heavier end of the Metcalfe slicer range. Sites that slice infrequently or in small volumes may find a lighter machine is sufficient, while operations with particularly demanding throughput requirements may benefit from discussing heavier commercial alternatives with the team.
If you are weighing up whether the NS250HD is the right fit for your kitchen, we are happy to talk it through before you place an order.
£827.00(£992.40 inc VAT)
The Metcalfe NS250 is a gravity feed food slicer built around a 250mm hollow ground chromed carbon steel blade. It handles the routine slicing of cooked and cured meats, cheese, and deli products in smaller commercial kitchens where slicing is a regular part of the day's work but not a continuous production task. The anodised aluminium body keeps the machine a manageable size and weight for countertop use without compromising hygiene or durability.
In a working kitchen context, the NS250 is comfortable with the kind of volumes a deli counter, sandwich bar, or café kitchen encounters through a lunchtime service. The twin poly V-belt driven transmission keeps the blade running smoothly and relatively quietly — worth noting in any customer-facing environment. The ball bearing carriage moves consistently, which helps operators produce uniform slices without undue physical effort across a preparation run. It is not engineered for continuous high-volume output across a full-length service shift; kitchens with that level of throughput would be better matched to a heavier-duty machine with a larger blade.
From a day-to-day standpoint, the machine is practical and straightforward to work with:
- Slice thickness adjustable from wafer-thin through to generous cuts
- Built-in self-aligning sharpener maintains blade condition without additional tools
- Carriage detaches fully to allow thorough cleaning and support hygiene compliance
- Anodised aluminium construction resists staining and wipes down readily
- Gravity feed design reduces operator effort during repetitive slicing runs
Installation is uncomplicated — a standard mains socket and a stable, level countertop are all that is needed. Allow adequate clearance around the carriage travel for safe operation and cleaning access.
The NS250 is well suited to independent delis, cafés, sandwich bars, small restaurants, and care home or school kitchens where slicing is a consistent but not primary production task. If you are weighing up whether the capacity matches your service pattern, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.
£3,730.00(£4,476.00 inc VAT)
The Sammic GAE-300 is a gear-driven automatic electric slicer built for regular, production-level use in professional food preparation environments. It runs two independent motors — one powering the 300mm blade, one driving the carriage — so the machine feeds and slices without the operator managing each pass. The chassis is constructed from high-polished anodised aluminium, which keeps bench weight manageable while maintaining the structural rigidity a working slicer needs.
In practice, the automatic carriage drive makes a genuine difference during busy prep periods. Consistent slice thickness is held across a full tray run without operator intervention, reducing fatigue and improving throughput when working through cooked meats, cured products, or fresh cuts. The adjustable thickness range covers wafer-thin charcuterie through to portioned cuts, making the machine useful across different prep requirements rather than suited to a single product type.
The GAE-300 is designed with end-of-service strip-down in mind. All food-contact components are fully detachable, and the bearing-mounted side plate reduces food trap points — in practice, daily cleaning is more straightforward than on machines with fixed assemblies. A built-in sharpener is included as standard to maintain blade edge across the working life of the machine.
- Automatic carriage drive reduces operator effort during high-volume prep runs
- Fully detachable food-contact parts support compliant daily cleaning
- Built-in sharpener maintains consistent blade performance over time
- Adjustable thickness suits fine charcuterie through to portioned meat cuts
- Anodised aluminium build balances durability with manageable bench weight
The GAE-300 is a countertop unit requiring a standard single-phase electrical supply. Before installation, it is worth confirming you have sufficient bench depth to accommodate full carriage travel — this is easy to overlook and important for safe operation. The machine is well suited to kitchens where slicing is a regular part of the prep workflow: delis, hotel kitchens, contract caterers, and busy pub kitchens are all typical environments. For sites running extended shifts with very high throughput demands, or where the slicer will be in near-continuous use across a full production day, a heavier-duty model may be worth considering.
If you want to talk through whether the GAE-300 fits your prep volumes and working setup, the team is happy to help before you decide.
£516.00(£619.20 inc VAT)
The Sirman Smart 250 is a compact, entry-level commercial meat slicer built around a 250mm blade. It is designed for kitchens and counters where slicing is a regular daily task but not a high-throughput production requirement. The body is painted aluminium with anodised aluminium components, and the machine is straightforward by design — no unnecessary complexity, just reliable slicing capability in a footprint that suits tighter counter installations.
In practice, the Smart 250 handles cold meats, cooked joints, and similar produce consistently within its class. The ventilated motor is rated for continuous use at moderate volumes, and the carriage runs on self-lubricating bushes and lapped pins, which keeps operation smooth and reduces wear over time. It is not intended for sustained high-volume production, but for the service patterns it is designed around, it performs without issue.
A few features translate well into day-to-day operational value:
- Cast-in sharpener with two emery wheels allows on-site blade maintenance, keeping cut quality consistent
- Wide clearance between motor housing and blade makes daily cleaning more straightforward
- Food-safe nylon food presser with toothed grip holds product securely, improving cut consistency and operator safety
- Compact footprint suits counter installations where space is limited
Installation is simple — the machine requires a standard mains supply and a stable, level counter surface. It should be positioned with full clearance for carriage travel and easy access for cleaning. There are no water connections or ventilation requirements beyond normal kitchen hygiene practice.
The Smart 250 is well suited to delicatessens, hotel breakfast operations, pub kitchens, small cafés, and food retail counters where slicing is part of a daily routine at moderate volumes. For sites with heavier, more sustained demands, or where a wider range of product thicknesses and sizes is common, a heavier-duty model with a larger blade and more powerful motor would be the more appropriate choice.
If you are weighing this up against other options or want to check it fits your counter setup and service volume, the team is glad to help you think it through.
£634.00(£760.80 inc VAT)
The Sirman Mirra 220 is a gravity feed slicer built around a 220mm blade, designed to handle cooked meats, cured meats, cheese, and similar deli-counter produce in commercial settings. It produces consistent, adjustable-thickness slices across a range of products and is intended for sites where slicing is a routine part of daily service rather than an occasional task.
In regular kitchen use, the Mirra 220 performs reliably across extended slicing sessions. The ventilated motor is built to sustain continuous operation without overheating during a busy service period, and the carriage runs on self-lubricating bushes that keep the slide smooth and consistent over time without requiring ongoing maintenance attention. It sits comfortably in a middle ground — more capable than an entry-level light-duty machine, but not oversized for the environments it serves best.
From an operational standpoint, the Mirra 220 offers several practical day-to-day advantages:
- Adjustable slice thickness delivers consistent portioning across different products
- Built-in blade sharpener maintains cutting performance without external servicing
- Anodised aluminium body is durable and straightforward to clean down between sessions
- Generous clearance around the blade simplifies daily cleaning routines
- Permanent blade rim guard and emergency stop button support safe working practice
As a countertop unit, installation is straightforward — a stable, level surface and a standard mains socket are all that is required. There are no water or gas connections. Allow adequate working clearance around the blade side for safe carriage travel and comfortable operator movement. It is worth noting that this is a medium-duty machine; sites with very high-volume or near-continuous slicing demands may find a heavier-duty model with a larger blade more appropriate.
The Mirra 220 is well suited to delis, cafés, small to mid-sized restaurants, hotel breakfast and cold-buffet operations, and similar settings where slicing is a regular but not industrial-scale requirement. If you are weighing it up against other options in our range, or want to be sure it matches your service volume, we are happy to talk it through.
£1,084.00(£1,300.80 inc VAT)
The Metcalfe NS300 is a countertop gravity feed slicer built around a 300mm hollow ground chromed carbon steel blade. It is designed for light to medium duty use, slicing cooked meats, charcuterie, and prepared joints at consistent, repeatable thicknesses. Cut depth adjusts from zero up to 13mm, covering everything from wafer-thin sandwich ham to thicker portions of cooked beef or pork.
In a working kitchen, the NS300 performs reliably where slicing forms part of a regular prep routine rather than a continuous production process. The twin poly V-belt driven transmission delivers a smooth, quiet cutting action, and the ball-bearing-mounted carriage runs cleanly across the full stroke without the judder that tends to develop in cheaper, single-belt machines over time. It handles a café prep shift, a deli counter with steady trade, or a small school kitchen comfortably. It is not built for sustained high-volume output through a full service period, and operators with that level of demand will generally be better served by a heavier-duty machine.
Practical advantages operators tend to notice include:
- Integrated self-aligning sharpener keeps the blade in consistent working condition without separate tooling
- Anodised aluminium construction resists corrosion and wipes down easily between uses
- Fully detachable carriage simplifies deep cleaning and supports food hygiene compliance
- Smooth thickness adjustment allows precise, repeatable cuts without trial slices
- Quiet transmission makes it suitable for front-of-house or open kitchen environments
Installation is straightforward. The NS300 runs from a standard single-phase mains supply and sits on any stable countertop at a comfortable working height. The working footprint during operation is wider than the machine body itself due to carriage travel, so bench space should be assessed carefully before positioning. Allow clear access to both sides for safe use and thorough cleaning.
The NS300 is well suited to delis, sandwich bars, cafés, small restaurants, and school kitchens where slicing is part of regular prep rather than a high-throughput operation. Sites running a busier counter or processing larger volumes continuously through service will typically benefit from a more robust, heavier-duty slicer with greater sustained capacity.
If you would like to talk through whether the NS300 is the right fit for your setup, or whether a different capacity machine would serve you better, the team is happy to help before you commit to an order.
£652.00(£782.40 inc VAT)
The Sirman Mirra 250 is a gravity feed slicer built for regular commercial use. It operates on the standard gravity feed principle, where the carriage tilts toward the blade under its own weight, allowing operators to maintain a steady, consistent slicing rhythm without forcing product through. The anodised aluminium body keeps the machine manageable in weight without compromising durability for a machine working at this level of service.
In a busy kitchen or service counter environment, this slicer handles cooked meats, charcuterie, cured products, and semi-hard cheeses reliably across a full lunch or dinner service. The ventilated motor is rated for extended continuous use, which means operators are not interrupted by thermal cut-outs during longer slicing runs. The adjustable thickness plate gives enough precision for consistent portion control, which matters when yield and presentation are both part of the brief.
A few practical features are worth noting from an operational standpoint:
- Built-in blade sharpener maintains edge consistency without removing the blade
- Self-lubricating carriage bushes reduce day-to-day maintenance requirements
- Generous clearance between blade and body supports thorough end-of-service cleaning
- Permanent blade rim guard and emergency stop button support safe daily operation
- Compact footprint suits tighter counter and prep area layouts
Installation is uncomplicated. The machine runs from a standard 13A socket, requires no plumbing or extraction, and simply needs a stable, level work surface at a comfortable working height. Allow adequate clearance on both sides of the machine for the carriage to complete its full travel. It is not suited to bone-in cuts or products with hard rinds, and operators should factor that into decisions about what the machine will be asked to do day to day.
The Mirra 250 sits comfortably in the medium-duty category and is a practical match for cafes, delis, bars, and smaller restaurant kitchens where slicing is a regular part of service rather than a continuous high-volume task. Sites with significantly heavier throughput demands — large deli counters or central production kitchens, for example — may find a heavier-duty model better matched to what they need.
If you are working through what volume or product range this machine will need to handle, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you decide.
£821.00(£985.20 inc VAT)
The Sirman Smart 300 is a gravity-feed countertop food slicer with a 300mm blade, built for slicing cooked and cured meats, cheese, and charcuterie in commercial kitchens where a dependable, straightforward machine is needed without the cost or complexity of a heavy-duty model. The anodised aluminium body keeps the overall weight manageable while providing a durable, food-safe surface throughout.
In practice, this slicer is well matched to kitchens with moderate, regular slicing demands rather than continuous high-volume throughput. A busy café preparing sandwich service, a deli counter running through the day, a pub kitchen slicing charcuterie for a sharing board, or a small hotel handling breakfast service will all find it capable within its class. The ventilated motor is designed for sustained use at this level, and the carriage runs on self-lubricating bushes, which reduces the routine mechanical attention the machine needs day to day.
A few practical advantages are worth noting:
- Anodised aluminium construction resists corrosion and wipes down cleanly between uses
- Wide clearance between motor housing and blade simplifies daily cleaning for food safety compliance
- On-board two-wheel sharpener keeps the blade in good working condition without external servicing
- Compact footprint suits counters where space is at a premium
- Self-lubricating carriage reduces the frequency of routine maintenance
Installation is uncomplicated — the Smart 300 needs a standard mains socket, a stable level surface, and enough surrounding clearance to operate the carriage and clean the blade guard safely. No plumbing or extraction is required. It is worth being straightforward about duty cycle, though: this is an entry-level machine, and kitchens with genuinely high-volume or near-continuous slicing requirements would be better served by a more robust specification.
This slicer suits smaller commercial operations where slicing is a regular but not dominant part of the workload. If your throughput is significantly heavier, it is worth a conversation about whether a higher-capacity model would give you better long-term value for the investment.
Our team is happy to talk through your setup before you decide — just get in touch.
£1,773.00(£2,127.60 inc VAT)
The Metcalfe NS300HD is a heavy-duty gravity-feed slicer designed for commercial kitchens and food preparation environments where slicing is a regular, high-volume task rather than an occasional one. Built throughout from high-polished anodised food-grade aluminium, it sits above Metcalfe's medium-duty range and is engineered to handle larger products, longer daily running periods, and sustained throughput without the wear and inconsistency that lighter machines can develop under that kind of demand.
In service, the NS300HD runs quietly thanks to a twin poly V-belt driven transmission, which also contributes to smooth, even cutting across a full range of products — large cooked joints, cured meats, charcuterie, and similar preparations. The 300mm hollow ground chromed carbon steel blade and ball-bearing carriage work together to deliver consistent slice quality across a full shift, with adjustable thickness giving operators flexibility to adapt between products and presentation styles without changing tooling or interrupting service.
Two areas that matter most in any food prep operation — hygiene and safe working — are well addressed in the design:
- Integrated self-aligning sharpener and de-burring unit keeps the blade in consistent working condition without separate tooling
- Carriage, blade cover, blade, and sharpening unit all detach for thorough end-of-day cleaning
- Smooth, rounded edges throughout minimise trap points and speed up cleaning routines
- Transparent slicing guard supports safe operation during service
- Fully interlocked blade guarding protects staff during cleaning and blade handling
The NS300HD is a countertop unit and requires a stable, level work surface with adequate clearance for full carriage travel. The footprint is deliberately substantial to maintain stability when working with larger, heavier products, so it is worth confirming bench dimensions — particularly front-to-back depth — before installation. It runs from a standard single-phase supply and does not require any specialist electrical provision.
This slicer is well suited to deli counters, restaurants, workplace and school canteens, supermarkets, butchery counters, and catering preparation kitchens where slicing is a regular, high-frequency part of the operation. It is not intended for light or occasional use, and it performs best where that level of output is genuinely needed day to day. For sites running a slicer continuously across multiple shifts at very high volume, a heavier-specification machine may be worth considering instead.
If you would like to talk through whether the NS300HD fits your service volume and working environment, the team is happy to help you work it out before you commit.
£605.00(£726.00 inc VAT)
The Buffalo 300mm meat slicer is a manually operated, gravity-feed slicer built for commercial prep and counter service. The 300mm blade handles a wide range of cooked meats, cured meats, and cold cuts, with slice thickness adjusted via a side dial to suit everything from wafer-thin charcuterie to thicker sandwich cuts. The food carriage runs on ball bearings, which gives a smooth, consistent gliding action across the full range of slice settings.
In practice, this machine suits kitchens and counters that need reliable, repeatable output through a busy prep or service session. The ball-bearing carriage reduces operator fatigue over extended use, and the anodised aluminium construction resists corrosion and stands up to regular cleaning without deteriorating. It is commonly used in deli counters, sandwich bars, hotel kitchen prep, and pub or restaurant cold meat service.
Key operational advantages include:
- Consistent slice thickness across a full service session
- Smooth carriage action reduces effort and operator fatigue
- Anodised aluminium body resists corrosion and is straightforward to clean
- Manual control over thickness suits varied menu requirements
- Compact footprint for counter or prep bench installation
At 26kg, the machine is stable on the worktop during use but does require a firm, level surface and adequate clearance around the carriage travel path. Allow sufficient bench space for the full width of the carriage stroke, not just the machine's static footprint. It operates on a standard single-phase supply, and the blade guard should be checked and correctly seated before each session. Blade sharpening will be required periodically depending on volume of use.
This slicer is well suited to low- to mid-volume operations — sandwich shops, hotel breakfast service, deli counters, and similar environments where consistent sliced meat output is needed through regular but not continuous use. For sites processing very high volumes across a full day's service, a heavier-duty machine with a larger blade diameter and more robust motor may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this model matches your throughput requirements or counter setup, our team is happy to talk through the options with you before you order.
£5,001.00(£6,001.20 inc VAT)
The Hobart SL350 is a gravity-feed meat slicer designed for continuous use in commercial environments. Built around a 350mm blade and constructed in anodised aluminium, it is a robust, hygiene-conscious machine suitable for slicing fresh and cooked meats, cheese, and salad items to consistent thicknesses across a full service period.
Hobart has a long-established reputation in commercial food preparation equipment, and the SL350 reflects that heritage. The anodised aluminium construction resists corrosion and stands up well to the demanding environment of a working kitchen, butcher's counter, or deli. The slicer is built for repeated, reliable use rather than occasional operation, and its 370W motor is sized appropriately for consistent throughput without overworking the drive during extended runs.
In practical terms, the SL350 offers operators a number of meaningful advantages:
- Consistent slice thickness across an entire service, reducing waste and improving portion control
- Anodised aluminium construction supports straightforward cleaning and resists build-up
- Suitable for a broad range of products — cooked and cured meats, cheese, and salad vegetables
- Compliance with CE safety requirements, relevant for food retail and kitchen environments
- Hobart's commercial-grade build quality means lower maintenance burden over time
Installation is straightforward — the SL350 requires a standard single-phase mains supply and a stable, flat work surface capable of supporting the 40kg machine weight. At 750mm wide and 620mm deep, it requires a reasonable allocation of counter space, so bench planning is worth considering before ordering. There are no water or ventilation connections required. The machine should be positioned with sufficient clearance at the rear and sides to allow safe operation and cleaning access.
The SL350 is well suited to butchers, delicatessens, food retail counters, and commercial kitchens with a consistent daily slicing requirement. It is a practical choice for medium-volume operations. Sites with very high throughput demands — large production kitchens or high-volume catering operations running the machine almost continuously — may find a heavier-duty model with a larger blade diameter and greater motor capacity better suited to their needs.

The Sammic GGS-300 is a gear-driven commercial food slicer built for kitchens that need consistent, repeatable results across a range of proteins, cured meats, and similar products. Unlike belt-driven slicers, gear-driven machines transfer power more directly to the blade, which typically means more reliable torque when working through denser or firmer products. The GGS-300 is constructed throughout in high-polished aluminium treated against anodic oxidation, which gives the chassis good resistance to the corrosive effects of food acids and frequent washdown.
In a working kitchen or deli environment, the GGS-300 handles steady prep and service-period slicing without the fatigue that comes from underpowered machines struggling against resistance. The ventilated motor is designed to cope with sustained use, and the decimal thickness adjustment — running from fine through to a generous maximum — allows operators to dial in precisely the cut they need without guesswork. A built-in sharpener means the blade can be maintained in-house without sending it away, which reduces downtime and keeps cutting quality consistent over time.
Practically, the machine is straightforward to work with day-to-day:
- Carriage lock and blade removal tool support safe handling during cleaning and blade changes
- Self-lubricating bushings on the plate reduce maintenance frequency
- Luminous 24V on/off switch provides clear visual confirmation of machine state
- Smooth aluminium surfaces and minimal internal cavities make cleaning quicker between uses
- Built-in precision sharpener keeps blade condition manageable without specialist tools

The Sammic Volano is a manually operated meat slicer driven by a hand wheel rather than an electric motor. It is designed for precise, controlled cutting of cured meats, charcuterie, and similar products where slice quality and consistency matter. Because it requires no electrical connection, it can be used in locations where power points are unavailable or inconvenient — market stalls, front-of-house carving stations, or prep areas with limited infrastructure.
The manual drive gives the operator full control over cutting speed and rhythm, which is particularly useful when working with delicate or uneven products. Slicing at a controlled pace without the heat generated by a motor means the organoleptic characteristics of the product — texture, aroma, appearance — are better preserved. This is a genuine practical consideration when presenting high-quality charcuterie or cured meats to customers.
Built from aluminium with stainless steel support components and an enamel-coated finish that has been post-treated at high temperature, the Volano is straightforward to keep clean. Removable gripping points are dishwasher-safe, and the design allows good access between the casing and blade for thorough manual cleaning. A built-in sharpener means the blade can be maintained without additional tools or specialist input.

The Sammic VSL-350 is a vertical-position food slicer built specifically for cured meats — charcuterie, salami, cured ham, and similar products that benefit from a vertical clamping approach. Unlike gravity-fed horizontal slicers, the vertical orientation holds the product securely throughout the cut, making it particularly well suited to dense, firm meats where consistent slice thickness matters. The universal blade with relief cut is designed to work across a range of cured meat textures without tearing or compressing the product.
In a working kitchen or deli environment, the VSL-350 holds up well under regular daily use. The decimal thickness adjustment gives operators precise control from zero to a generous maximum, which is useful when serving requirements change between service periods — paper-thin slices for antipasti boards and slightly thicker cuts for sandwiches or hot dishes can be dialled in quickly. The built-in precision sharpener helps maintain blade performance without requiring external maintenance visits, which keeps downtime to a minimum.
From an operational standpoint, several features reduce the friction that comes with repetitive slicing tasks:
- Tool-free dismantling and dishwasher-safe grip points simplify end-of-service cleaning considerably
- The vertical clamping arm reduces the footprint, making it workable in tighter preparation areas
- The protection ring around the blade mechanism helps prevent grease and moisture ingress, supporting the longevity of the unit
- The low-voltage luminous switch and electronic safety plate are practical safety features in a busy prep environment
