Essentia vertical butcher slicer BEM350

Essentia: the name is everything: the designing essence of the Berkel professional electric slicers has been accurately distilled in this line of products. Being the door to enter into the Berkel professional world the Essentia Line has been designed mainly for the Retail and Ho.Re.Ca. although it could represent a valid solution for the Supermarkets needs. Great slicing performance, highest safety standard and easy of cleaning are the Berkel DNA inside every machine and also inside the Essentia slicers to get easy of use and fast slicing operations with a related operational cost reduction. The elegant Berkel design, made of smooth rounded lines, lack of hedges and high performance materials, is enhanced in this line of slicer thanks to all the red techno polymer details and the minimal shape. Essentia is available in all the technical configurations (Gravity, Vertical Salumeria, Vertical Macelleria and Delicatessen) with different blade diameter selection from 300mm to 370mm.
