Metcalfe NS220 Gravity Feed Slicer 220mm Medium Duty

The Metcalfe NS220 is a countertop gravity feed slicer built for light to medium duty use in smaller commercial environments. It cuts a range of cooked meats, charcuterie, cheese, and similar products, with thickness adjustable from zero up to 12mm. The hollow ground chromed carbon steel blade is driven through a twin poly V-belt transmission, and the body is constructed from anodised aluminium — practical to clean and durable enough for regular daily use without being overbuilt for the task.

In service, the NS220 performs consistently when working through a steady volume of product during a typical day's trade. The ball-bearing mounted carriage moves smoothly throughout each cut, which helps produce uniform slices — useful where presentation matters and waste reduction is a priority. The belt-drive transmission runs quietly, which is worth noting for front-of-house positions such as deli counters where a noisy machine would be intrusive.

From an operational standpoint, a few things stand out:

• 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 meets food hygiene requirements
• Quiet running suits front-of-house and customer-facing 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 continuously; for sustained high-cycle throughput 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.
