Used for slicing cold meats (ham, salami, bresaola), fresh meats, cheeses, vegetables etc.
A food slicer drives a circular blade at a steady speed, converting motor power into a clean cut without crushing or tearing. The blade spins in a horizontal plane, while the carriage moves the product across it in a straight line. This geometry keeps every slice parallel and consistent, whether the food is firm like cheese or fibrous like cured meat. The motor's torque is transmitted through belts, which smooth out vibration and reduce noise compared with direct gearing.
To operate the AFG300, the operator first secures the product against the graduated fence, then sets the desired thickness with the adjustable knob. The carriage is pulled forward by hand, bringing the food into contact with the spinning blade. After each pass, the carriage returns to its starting position, ready for the next slice. The built-in sharpener can be engaged at any time to restore the blade's edge without removing it from the machine.
The body is anodised aluminium, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and light weight. The blade guard is removable, allowing the operator to clean the blade and carriage without tools. A graduated fence knob provides repeatable thickness settings, while the driving belts run quietly under the worktop.
The 0.3 kW motor draws a modest load on a standard 230 V single-phase circuit, making it suitable for kitchens where power points are shared with other appliances. The 22.5 kg weight keeps the unit stable during use but still allows it to be moved by one person. The footprint of 480 mm by 570 mm fits on most worktops or can be placed on a mobile stand if floor space is tight.
Cleaning involves removing the blade guard and wiping the blade, carriage and fence with a sanitising cloth. The anodised aluminium surfaces resist staining and can be cleaned with mild detergent. The built-in sharpener eliminates the need for external sharpening tools, reducing maintenance time.
The AFG300 is a single model with no variants. It is designed for professional slicing of meat, sausages, cheese and similar deli products in restaurants, cafés and retail stores.
