Vegetable Slicing Machine 1200 kg/h

Vegetable Slicing Machine

Centrifugal or belt slicer for uniform slices of root vegetables, firm fruits and cabbage, with fast knife-head changeover.

How it works

Product is fed to a rotating cutting head (centrifugal type) or onto a belt feeding a stationary knife (belt type). A rotating impeller holds the product against the knife, which slices it at a fixed thickness set by the knife head. Thickness is changed by swapping the head or adjusting the knife gap.

Suitable for

Potato, carrot, cucumber, cabbage, onion, apple, citrus; chips, crisps, dehydrating and fresh-cut lines.

Not suitable for

Very soft fruit; products requiring wavy or crimped cuts without the correct head; whole-leaf products.

Material & compliance

Cutting head, feed chute and contact surfaces SUS304 (EN 1.4301); knives hardened stainless or tool steel. Contact welds ground to Ra <= 0.8 um. Guarding and interlocks required.

CE declaration and DoC; EN 10204 3.1 for contact parts; machine safety guarding per EU machinery rules (EU 2023/1230 from January 2027); designed for wet washdown.

Selection notes

Slice thickness consistency is the spec that matters, and it drifts as knives wear — ask how thickness is verified and what the tolerance is. For chips/crisps, check whether the machine handles the surface finish you need (flat, wavy, crinkle). Confirm product is washed before slicing to protect knife life.

When you should not buy this machine: Do not buy a centrifugal slicer for soft or irregular product — it will produce inconsistent thickness and higher waste. If you only slice one product at one thickness, a simpler belt slicer is usually the better buy.

FAQ

What slice thickness can be held consistently?

Ask the supplier for a stated tolerance and how it is measured. Thickness drifts as knives wear, so the sharpening interval matters more than the nominal setting.

Can one machine do flat and crinkle cuts?

Only if you have the matching knife heads. Cut profile is set by the knife geometry, not by machine speed, so each profile is a separate head.

Does the product need washing first?

Yes in most cases. Soil and sand are highly abrasive and are the main cause of rapid knife wear on root crops.
