ALA 2000 Online Shop

ALA 2000 is an Italian brand specialising in appliances for preparing and preserving food at home. Over more than 40 years in business, the brand has expanded from small-scale craftsmanship to a more structured production system, while maintaining its focus on quality, practicality and safety. The project began with the aim of bringing a family-oriented food slicer into Italian homes; over time, the range also grew to include vacuum packaging solutions. AgriEuro offers products for slicing cured meats, cheese, bread, meat and vegetables, as well as for portioning food and protecting it from air before storage.

The range includes two product types intended for complementary stages of kitchen work:

• ALA 2000 Food Slicers: they allow users to adjust the thickness and produce even slices of cured meats, cheese, bread and other compatible foods. The different blade diameters help users select a machine suited to the size of the ingredients and the available space;
• ALA 2000 Vacuum Sealers: they extract air from embossed bags and complete the cycle by sealing the edge. They are suitable for dividing food into portions, organising the refrigerator and freezer, and limiting contact between food, air and moisture.

On AgriEuro, ALA 2000 products can be selected according to their technical features, helping users identify the model best suited to their food preparation and storage requirements. The relevant parameters differ between food slicers and vacuum sealers and should be assessed according to the foods being processed, frequency of use and available space.

• Blade diameter: the food slicers can be fitted with 190, 195, 200, 220 or 250 mm blades. Smaller diameters promote compactness and manoeuvrability; larger diameters provide greater capacity for bulky foods;
• Cutting height: the available measurements include 120, 140 and 160 mm. This measurement indicates the maximum size of the product that can be processed and helps compare models according to the cured meats, cheese, bread or meat to be sliced;
• Food slicer materials: the blade is made of hardened steel; the thickness plate, blade cover plate and carriage may be made of aluminium or anodised aluminium. The painted aluminium base supports the structure, and the metal surfaces make it easier to remove residues;
• Configuration and transmission: some models feature an inclined gravity-feed tray that guides food towards the blade. The belt drive transfers motion from the motor to the blade smoothly;
• Food slicer power: the specifications listed for the range include a rated power of 140 W. This value should be considered alongside blade diameter, cutting height and the expected frequency of operation;
• Vacuum sealer cycle: the automatic cycle combines air extraction and sealing in a sequence activated through a control. The plastic housing keeps the appliance lightweight and makes it easier to position on the kitchen worktop;
• Compatible bags: the vacuum sealer described uses embossed bags up to 30 cm wide. The internal texture creates channels through which air can pass during extraction; the width and food-contact suitability must always comply with the model specifications.

The more compact configurations are intended for domestic applications, periodic preparation and household quantities. Food slicers with larger blades can support more frequent work or larger foods, provided their capacity and operating times are consistent with the specifications of the individual model. The domestic vacuum sealer is suitable for portioning sliced meats, cheese and other preparations before storing them in the refrigerator or freezer.

The ALA 2000 range on AgriEuro includes equipment for slicing and packaging food. Food slicers prepare even slices; vacuum sealers support the subsequent portioning and storage of food. The two product families can therefore form part of the same domestic workflow, from preparation through to food storage.

ALA 2000 food slicers are designed for slicing soft or mature cured meats, cheese, bread, meat and vegetables at home, provided they comply with the machine specifications. The hardened-steel circular blade works together with the carriage and adjustable thickness plate, allowing the thickness to be set before each pass. The aluminium or anodised aluminium components contribute to the strength of the assembly and provide surfaces suitable for cleaning after processing. The range includes different blade diameters to balance worktop footprint, cutting capacity and food size. On gravity-fed models, the inclined carriage guides the food towards the blade and reduces the force required from the operator. Before choosing, users should also compare cutting height, rated power, transmission type and the materials used for parts that come into contact with food.

The main selection criteria relate to the intended type of preparation:

• 190, 195 and 200 mm blades: these prioritise compact dimensions and are suitable for kitchens with limited space. They can process sliced meats, sandwich bread, cheese and vegetables with dimensions compatible with the available cutting height;
• 220 mm blade: this provides intermediate capacity for processing larger foods without moving up to a 250 mm machine. It is worth considering for cured meats with different textures and semi-hard cheese;
• 250 mm blade: this increases the available cutting surface for meat, rustic bread and bulky ingredients. It requires a worktop suited to the size of the machine and careful assessment of the expected frequency of operation;
• Gravity-feed tray: this uses the inclination to guide the product towards the blade as the carriage moves. The operator must still use the food pusher and the provided safety guards, keeping hands away from the cutting area;
• Thickness adjustment: this allows users to switch from thin slices to thicker cuts within the limits of the model. Adjustments must be made while the machine is stopped and in accordance with the instructions in the manual.

ALA 2000 domestic vacuum sealers extract air from suitable bags and seal their edges using the sealing bar. The automatic cycle simplifies the operating sequence and allows users to prepare portions of freshly sliced cured meats, cheese, meat and other compatible foods. The plastic housing makes the appliance lightweight and convenient to position on the kitchen worktop or store after use. The 30 cm embossed bags have an internal texture that encourages air to move towards the extraction point. Before sealing, the edge must be kept clean, dry and properly flattened to produce a continuous seal. Vacuum packaging limits contact with oxygen and moisture, but does not replace refrigeration, freezing, hygiene or compliance with the storage times specified for each food.

The following aspects should be checked to prepare each package correctly:

• Bag size: the width must not exceed the capacity of the sealing bar, and the length must leave sufficient space above the food. A bag that is too short makes correct insertion into the extraction area difficult;
• Embossed surface: the microchannels allow air to flow during the cycle of an external suction vacuum sealer. Bags must be declared suitable for food contact and compatible with the model;
• Sealing edge: the section inserted into the machine must be flat, clean and free from liquids or grease. Creases and residues can interrupt the sealing line and allow air to enter;
• Moist or delicate foods: liquids and soft foods require the methods permitted in the manual and careful preparation. The cycle should only be stopped or adjusted if the model has a dedicated control;
• Subsequent storage: after sealing, each package must be stored at the temperature required for the food. Vacuum packaging slows certain deterioration processes, but does not make a product that requires refrigeration safe at room temperature.
