FIMAR ECO250 250 mm Manual Slicer for Professional Kitchens

A manual slicer built for controlled, consistent cuts of meats, cheeses and vegetables without motorised power. The circular blade, 250 mm in diameter, rotates on a horizontal axis while the operator slides the product carriage back and forth. Adjustable thickness settings let the user select a slice depth between 14 mm and 16 mm, producing portions that match plated requirements without further trimming. The slicing sequence begins with securing the food item on the carriage. A hand-operated lever advances the carriage towards the blade; the same lever retracts it after each pass. The operator repeats the motion until the item is fully sliced, using the built-in thickness gauge to maintain uniformity. A removable collection tray catches the slices as they fall, keeping the worktop tidy and reducing handling. Construction centres on a stainless-steel frame that supports the blade, carriage and thickness adjustment mechanism. The 230 V single-phase supply powers the blade motor, which runs at a fixed speed suitable for continuous slicing sessions. The unit's footprint—530 mm wide, 480 mm deep and 375 mm high—fits on a standard worktop or can be mounted on a mobile stand for flexible positioning. At 14 kg, the slicer is light enough to be moved by one person yet stable during operation. Controls consist of an on-off switch and a thickness adjustment dial. The switch isolates the motor from the supply when not in use, while the dial sets the gap between blade and carriage, determining slice thickness. The voltage requirement matches the standard UK single-phase circuit, allowing the slicer to be plugged into any kitchen outlet without additional wiring. Stainless-steel blades and anodised aluminium housing let you rinse the slicer under running water immediately after use without risking corrosion or warping. The stainless-steel surfaces and removable carriage can be wiped down with a damp cloth and sanitiser after each use. The blade, once removed, is cleaned separately to prevent cross-contamination. Regular sharpening maintains cutting performance, while periodic checks of the thickness adjustment mechanism ensure consistent results. The ECO250 is catalogued under manual slicers, where it serves kitchens that need precise slicing without the footprint or power draw of larger automatic models.
