What is the Grasselli SL 600-BI used for?
The “BI” designation in the model name indicates a version of the machine designed for slicing bone-in meat – thanks to its sectioned pressing system, raw material is cut without bone chipping and without damaging the meat structure, which is essential when working with cuts such as ribs, bone-in neck, or other pieces requiring precise portioning.
The SL 600-BI performs well both on fresh meat and on lightly frozen products, giving processing plants flexibility in planning production regardless of the raw material’s condition on a given shift.
How does the Grasselli SL 600-BI vertical slicer work?
The machine uses a multi-blade cutting system, in which the distance between blades – 20 mm in this case – determines the thickness of the resulting slices or portions. The 600 mm cutting belt width allows sizeable cuts of meat to be sliced in a single pass, without the need to pre-divide the raw material.
The pressing system, adapted for cutting bone-in pieces, keeps the product stably guided during cutting, resulting in high slicing precision and minimizing waste and mechanical damage to the raw material.
Key advantages of the Grasselli SL 600-BI
Grasselli’s slicer range is valued for high cutting precision even at thin slice thicknesses, while maintaining high throughput and strong raw material yield. The machine’s design allows it to slice both boneless and bone-in cuts without chipping, making it a versatile solution for meat processing plants running a varied product range.
Its robust build, together with a 400 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz electrical supply and a total power of 4 kW, means the SL 600-BI is ready for industrial-scale operation, delivering stable, repeatable cutting quality on every production shift.
Application of the Grasselli SL 600-BI
