The Hobart SL250 is a 250mm gravity-feed meat slicer built for consistent, controlled slicing in commercial environments. Constructed from anodised aluminium, it is designed to handle fresh and cooked meats, cheese, and salad items during regular daily service. Hobart has a long-standing reputation for building slicers that hold up under sustained use, and the SL250 reflects that approach — straightforward to operate, straightforward to clean, and built to a standard that suits professional food preparation settings.In practice, this slicer is well suited to moderate-volume operations where reliable, repeatable slice consistency matters. Butchers, delicatessens, grocery counters, and smaller food service kitchens will find it handles daily prep work without issue. It is not intended for continuous high-throughput production environments, but for counter and prep use it performs solidly through a full service day.The practical advantages for operators include: Consistent slice thickness across meat, cheese, and salad items Anodised aluminium construction resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning Compact footprint suits counter and prep bench installation Straightforward blade access supports routine cleaning and hygiene compliance CE-compliant safety features meet current commercial food preparation standards At 20kg the SL250 is stable in use without being difficult to reposition for cleaning. It requires a standard single-phase mains supply and no specialist installation beyond a suitable counter position with adequate clearance around the carriage travel. If your operation involves very high daily slicing volumes or extended unbroken use, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty machine would be more appropriate for your throughput.The SL250 is a practical choice for butchers, deli counters, food retail outlets, and smaller catering kitchens that need a dependable slicer for regular prep work. If you are unsure whether the capacity suits your operation, or if you are setting up a new counter and want to talk through the options, our team is happy to help you work it out before you commit.
