What size meat slicer blade do I need?

Choose by the widest and tallest product you slice. A larger blade cuts bigger roasts, hams and cheese blocks in one pass, while a smaller blade suits compact counters and lighter use. Check the maximum product size the carriage accepts on the specification sheet as well as the blade diameter.

Can I slice cheese on any meat slicer?

Cheese is harder on a slicer than meat because it drags on the blade and loads the motor. Many manufacturers recommend a medium or heavy-duty model for regular cheese slicing and rate light-duty slicers for occasional use only. Check the duty rating and the manufacturer's guidance on cheese before buying.

How often should a meat slicer be cleaned?

Food safety guidance commonly calls for cleaning and sanitizing a slicer when switching between products, such as from meat to cheese, and at regular intervals during continuous use. Check the exact expectation with your local public health unit, and follow the manufacturer's manual for taking the slicer apart safely.

Commercial Meat Slicers in Canada

A meat slicer cuts deli meats, cheese, roasts and vegetables to an even, adjustable thickness with a rotating circular blade. Delis, sandwich shops, butcher counters, grocers and restaurants that slice their own charcuterie or roast beef use them to control portions and yield. Light-duty models suit occasional slicing, while heavy-duty and automatic slicers are built to run for hours a day and to handle cheese, which is harder on the motor and blade.

About commercial meat slicers

Before you buy

Check the largest product the carriage accepts, not only the blade diameter, since a roast or cheese block has to fit and clear the blade in one pass.
Compare the manufacturer's duty rating and daily run time, and choose a medium or heavy-duty model if you slice cheese regularly.
Decide between a manual and an automatic carriage, since an automatic slicer moves the product back and forth by itself and frees the operator on long slicing runs.
Check which safety and upkeep features each slicer includes, such as a blade guard, restart protection after a power cut and a built-in or supplied blade sharpener.
Look at how the carriage, blade cover and deflector come off for cleaning, since those parts decide how long each teardown takes.
