KELOO Commercial Meat Slicer 220mm 8 Inch Blade - Semi-Automatic - HBS-8

Slice to a set thickness, and every portion costs the same. Hand-carving is where sandwich margin quietly disappears - two grams over on every slice adds up fast. A slicer set to a dial gives you the same portion every time, from anyone on shift.

The HBS-8 is the compact model with a 220mm blade, sized for deli counters, sandwich bars and cafés slicing to order.

Key features

• 220mm (8 inch) blade - handles standard deli meats, cheeses and cooked joints
• 0-10mm adjustable thickness - from paper-thin charcuterie to thick-cut sandwich slices on one dial
• Consistent portioning - the same yield per joint regardless of who is slicing
• 440 x 380 x 340mm (W x D x H) - compact enough for a deli counter or a prep bench
• 0.32kW motor - low power draw on a standard 13A socket
• Semi-automatic carriage - smooth manual stroke with the blade doing the work
• Strip-down for cleaning - blade guard, carriage and deflector come off for daily washing

Specification

Typical uses

Sandwich and deli counters, cafés and coffee shops, butchers and farm shops, small restaurant kitchens, and catering units slicing cooked meats and cheeses to order.

Choosing your size

This range runs a 220mm blade (HBS-8) and a 250mm blade (HBS-10), both with the same 0-10mm thickness range and the same 0.32kW motor. Blade diameter sets the maximum size of product you can slice, not how fast you can slice it - so choose on the largest joint or cheese you handle. If you only slice standard deli meats, the 220mm is plenty; step up to 250mm if you regularly work with large joints or full cheese wheels.

Good to know

A slicer is one of the most dangerous pieces of kit in a commercial kitchen. Only trained staff should operate or clean it, always with the blade guard in place and the machine isolated before stripping down for cleaning - and UK health and safety rules place restrictions on young workers using dangerous machinery, so check your obligations before putting anyone under 18 on the slicer. Keep the blade sharp: a dull blade tears product, needs more force and is significantly more likely to cause an injury.
