Operating a Gravity Feed Slicer
Once the slicer has been properly adjusted for product clearance, the infeed chute may
be loaded with the product to be sliced. Flipping the starting switch to the ON position
will begin operation. Remove each sliced product from the discharge table as it is sliced.
NOTE
THE GRAVITY FEED SLICER’S OPTIMUM OPERATING EFFICIENCY WILL
BE MAINTAINED BY ENSURING THAT THE INFEED CHUTE IS KEPT
FULLY LOADED. THE ACTUAL SPEED OF SLICING IS DEPENDENT ON THE
NUMBER OF PRODUCTS IN POSITION ON THE INFEED CHUTE, SHARPNESS
OF CUTTING KNIVES, AND TEXTURE OF THE PRODUCT.
Operating the Gravity Feed’s Lever Actuated Last Loaf Pusher
32 inch and 48 inch gravity feed slicers are often equipped with a lever actuated last loaf
pusher; this pusher is used to assist in feeding the last product on the infeed chute into
the cutting knives. To operate the last loaf pusher, slowly pull the last loaf pusher lever
toward the discharge side of the slicer. See the next illustration. Return the lever to the
upper position before reloading the infeed chute.
