Commercial Tomato Slicers

Commercial Tomato Slicers Divide Whole Tomatoes into Even Slices

Commercial tomato slicers have a unique blade design and engineering to cut consistent slices from tomatoes. There are various commercial fruit and vegetable cutters, each specialized in different tasks. Using the same food prep equipment for all products is not advisable. Industrial tomato slicers use thinner blades and gentler force to slice even the softest tomatoes without crushing their delicate texture.

Benefits of a Tomato Slicer

• Consistent slices
• Shorter prep time
• Minimum product waste and maximum yields
• Reduced labor costs
• Much better overall presentation with beautifully cut slices

Manual and Electric Tomato Slicers

Commercial tomato slicers can be operated by hand or by electricity. Manual models have a pusher or presser set. You place the tomato on the unit's cradle and pull down or push forward the handle. This action moves the tomato towards the blade, enabling you to slice lots of products in a short time. For instance, Electrolux 601443 Tomato Slicer can process around 20 tomatoes a minute.

Electricity-powered commercial tomato slicers require minimal effort to do the job. They also have a blade assembly and a pusher set. You just lower the pusher set towards the blades, and electric power does the rest. An optimum amount of force is applied to the product. The result is uniform slices. Electric slicers work more efficiently than manual ones. For example, Edlund 356XL/115V Tomato Slicer promises you can get up to 30% more from each tomato.

Blades on commercial tomato slicers can be straight or scalloped. Scallops on the blade can offer a more precise cutting action to create cleaner slices. Both knife sets are for soft produce, so tomato slicers are not recommended for cutting hard products. These blade cartridges are interchangeable to adjust slice widths. This flexibility is key to diversifying your menu items with the soft produce or proteins you slice. You may wish to top your hamburgers with thin tomato slices or finish off a Caesar salad with thicker cuts of chicken breast.

Changing the blade cartridge should be easy for the speed and efficiency of a commercial tomato slicer. The blade set in Nemco 56600-3 Tomato Slicer remains aligned, needing no additional adjustment during replacement. Effortless cleaning of a commercial tomato cutter can also save time. For instance, Edlund ETL-316 Tomato Slicer boasts of fitting in a standard dish rack for complete dishwasher-safe cleaning.
