MANCONI 370VK-TC-D Dual Meat Slicer

A slicer built for fresh meat divides whole cuts into even slices without tearing or crushing the fibres. The circular blade, driven by an electric motor, rotates at a steady speed while the carriage moves the meat across the edge. Adjusting the thickness setting shifts the carriage closer or farther from the blade, producing slices from paper-thin to thick steaks. Because the blade is always sharp and the feed is mechanical, every slice emerges identical in thickness and texture, a result that hand-cutting cannot match in volume or consistency.

To operate the slicer, the operator first locks the carriage in the home position, then secures the meat block against the fence. The thickness knob is turned to the desired setting between 0 and 24 mm. After switching on the motor, the carriage is pulled forward, drawing the meat across the blade. The operator repeats the motion until the cut is complete, then returns the carriage and removes the sliced portion. A safety guard covers the blade when the carriage is not in use, and the machine will not start unless the guard is correctly positioned.

The frame and carriage are constructed from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of sanitising. The blade is high-carbon steel, hardened for long service between sharpenings. The slicer stands on four adjustable feet that level the unit on uneven worktops and absorb vibration during operation.

The voltage of 220 or 230 V matches the standard single-phase circuits found in British commercial kitchens, allowing the slicer to be plugged into a wall socket without special wiring. The weight of 55 kg keeps the machine stable on the worktop during heavy use, reducing the risk of movement or tipping. The footprint of 781 mm long, 730 mm wide and 569 mm high fits within the space of a standard worktop or preparation table, leaving room for trays and containers on either side.

Cleaning follows the parts named in the construction. The blade is removed and washed separately, while the carriage, fence and guard are wiped down with a sanitising solution. The stainless-steel surfaces are dried to prevent water spots and corrosion. The adjustable feet are checked periodically to ensure the slicer remains level and vibration is minimised.

The 370VK-TC-D is a dual-voltage model, compatible with both 220 V and 230 V supplies without adjustment. The catalogue places it in the meat-preparation section alongside other slicers and portioning equipment.
