Essentia Gravity Slicer BEG350

Essentia: the name says it all: the design essence of Berkel's professional electric slicers is accurately distilled in this product line. As a gateway to Berkel's professional world, the Essentia Line is primarily designed for Retail and Ho.Re.Ca. although it could be a valid solution for the needs of supermarkets. Great cutting performance, the highest safety standards and easy cleaning are the Berkel DNA in every machine and also in the Essentia cutting machines to enable ease of use and fast cutting operations with an associated reduction in operational costs. The elegant Berkel design, made of smooth rounded lines, lack of hedges and high-quality materials, is highlighted in this line of cutting machines thanks to all the red technopoly details and the minimal shape. Essentia is available in all technical configurations (Gravity, Vertical Salumeria, Vertical Macelleria and Delicatessen) with different blade diameters from 300 mm to 370 mm.
