Like all Univex slicers, the newly designed 4612 Economy Manual slicer is certified to meet and exceed the latest NSF/ANSI standards, for safety sanitation and performance. The Economy, Manual gravity feed slicer, features a 12 inch precision German hollow ground blade, strong belt-driven transmission, rugged multi-position meat holder, permanent safety blade edge guard and built-in sharpener. Solid anodized aluminum construction with smooth curve transitions redirects liquid and debris away from the operator for improved all around cleaning accessibility.
