A Berkel tribute one hundred years after the production interruption of this model, the most popular in the world.

Entirely handmade in accordance with the original design and details, but with modern innovations in safety and functionality.

Made of painted cast iron with chrome-plated steel details (such as the nameplate), this model celebrates the success of Italian-made products around the world.

The real strength of this slicer is its reinterpretation of shape, performance and finish in a contemporary style.

The 350 mm blade made of 100cr6 chrome-plated steel guarantees a high cutting capacity, reduced waste and even, thin slices.

Gold-coloured decorations and details enrich the machine, giving it a touch of class and style.

Class and elegance are also provided by the name plate with the serial number, which along with the included certificate of authenticity ensures the meat slicer’s originality.

It is equipped with a tray for easy and direct dropping of cut food, a built-in sharpener with visible chrome plating and four rubber pads that keep the slicer stable and precise during use.

Adjustable food presser consisting of a fixed and a front movable rack and pinion, crossed with a one-way toothed arm.

Thanks to the removable and washable elements, i.e. the plate, glove box and flap, the adjustable pusher, and the large cleaning spaces, including the rear scrap receptacle, hygiene will always be high and ensured.

Ideal for slicing all types of cured meats, meat, cheese, etc.

Thanks to its cutting precision and advanced technical features, the L 16 model allows food to be sliced perfectly, guaranteeing professional results every time it is used.

• Chrome-plated steel blade (100Cr6 steel)
• Blade diameter 350 mm
• steel blade guard ring with manual release system for maximum safety
• Fixed rear blade protection ring in accordance with CE regulations
• Stainless steel slice deflector

The cut is entrusted to a 350 mm blade made of 100cr6 chrome-plated steel, featuring a professional profile that reduces waste and ensures uniform slices.

Thanks to this high-quality blade, you can achieve perfect and precise slicing in every use.

The quick feed system and the millimetric plate adjustment knob allow perfect positioning of the product to be sliced. This advanced system allows you to precisely adjust the distance between the blade and the plate, ensuring absolute precision during the slicing operation.

It is possible to adjust the slice thickness between 0 and 4 mm, for thin and precise cuts.

The large food tray is supported by 4 bearings and provides stability and control as the trolley, driven by an internal connecting rod and guided by a sliding block.

The bearing rails are made of Bakelite.

This ensures smooth and fast sliding, without jolts or unwanted oscillations, and the ability to conveniently and easily pick up cut food.

The blade has a cut of 210 mm for round food and 260x200 mm for square food.

The powerful flower-shaped flywheel, also aesthetically faithful to the original design and with gold details, is made of chrome-plated steel and features a traditional wooden knob.

The machine body is made entirely of painted cast iron, which guarantees very high durability and corrosion resistance.

The meat slicer motion is activated by the Berkel flower-shaped flywheel which features a wide edging in chrome-plated steel.

Its beauty and magnificence blend perfectly together with its outstanding functionality.

Featuring a flower-shaped design, a wide edging in chrome-plated steel, polished and reflecting aesthetic, the machine acquires a state-of-the-art and sophisticated design as well as a long-lasting durability.

Instead, the wooden knob strategically placed on the upper part of the machine provides a touch of colour and tradition but also facilitates the grip and decreases the Operator effort, thus delivering safety and practicality to the product.

Finally, the gold-coloured embossed text further enrich the L 16 model. This embossed text, precisely hand-crafted, provides the meat slicer design with a touch of high-quality and refinement.

The belt and gear drive ensures top performance and superior reliability, which is necessary for continuous heavy-duty use.

Among the meat slicer’s main features we can find safety and hygiene.

The safety is offered by the 2 protection rings of the blade: one with manual release system, and the fixed rear one following the CE regulations.

The ergonomic handles, i.e. the flywheel wooden knob, helps maintaining this high-level of safety.

On one hand, the adjustable food press composed by a fixed and a front movable rack and pinion, crossed with a one-way toothed arm, allow to keep locked the product to be sliced.

On the other hand, the hygiene is entrusted by the removable heavy-duty plate and underplate made of stainless steel, the large cleaning spaces, and the rear scrap receptacle.

The meat slicer is equipped with a removable sharpener which allows the blade to be kept constantly sharpened. Thanks to the exposed chrome plated, this sharpener perfectly blends to the general design of the machine. It offers a practical and aesthetically pleasing solution for the maintenance of the blade, which is always ready to be used.

This accessory with exposed chrome plated is crucial in order to always obtain a perfectly sliced product.
