The Buffalo 220mm meat slicer is a countertop slicing machine designed for commercial kitchens that need to process cooked and cold meats efficiently during service or prep. It uses a rotating circular blade to produce consistent slices across a range of thicknesses, controlled manually via a side dial. The food carriage runs on ball bearings, giving it a smooth, controlled gliding action that helps maintain consistent cut quality across a full tray of product.In a working kitchen environment, this kind of slicer earns its place during prep shifts — working through cooked joints, deli-style cold cuts, and charcuterie without the fatigue or inconsistency that comes with manual knife work. The ball-bearing carriage means less resistance during each pass, which matters when operators are processing meaningful volumes ahead of a busy service. It is a practical choice for kitchens where slicing is a regular but not constant task.The practical advantages for day-to-day operation include: Consistent slice thickness across an entire portion run, reducing waste Manual thickness control via side dial — simple to adjust between products Smooth carriage action reduces operator effort during extended prep Compact footprint suits kitchens where counter space is limited Straightforward construction supports quick cleaning between uses Installation is straightforward — this is a plug-in countertop unit requiring a standard mains socket and a stable, level surface. At 17kg it is portable enough to be moved and stored when not in use, though most kitchens will find a fixed prep position more practical. Allow adequate clear space around the blade guard for safe operation and cleaning access.This slicer suits cafés, delis, hotel kitchens, pub operations, and small restaurant prep areas where sliced meat appears regularly on the menu but doesn't demand an industrial-capacity machine running continuously. For high-volume operations — such as busy carvery restaurants or catering production units processing large quantities throughout the day — a heavier-duty model with a larger blade and greater motor output may be a better fit.If you're unsure whether this model matches your service volume or prep requirements, we're happy to talk it through before you order.
