Intellectually Sharp Blades
To preserve tomato integrity, without slowing down the slicing process, Nemco took a close look at the point of contact
Given the straight-down blade motion that engages the tomato squarely, instead of at an angle, Nemco engineers smartly adapted by going to a scalloped blade edge
The resulting pierce-first action ensures a beautifully clean slice, without crushing or squeezing the tomato
As part of a pre-tensioned cartridge assembly, the blades maintain even spacing for consistently uniform slice thickness

No-nonsense construction, without over-engineering, promises an exceptional return on investment
The blades are stainless steel, while their cartridge assembly holds uncompromising rigidity to maximize blade life
The body is cast aluminum for lasting durability
The ergonomic design applies the pressure only where needed, minimizingthe fatigue on both the equipment and the operator’s elbow
Just a few pins and only four component parts make the unit a cinch

Maintenance Tips
Clean blades, pusher assembly, and frame after each use with warm water and food-safe, non-abrasive detergent to prevent pulp buildup.
Dry thoroughly to maintain sharp 3/16" slicing performance and prevent corrosion.
Inspect blade grid regularly for dulling, bent blades, or trapped tomato residue that can affect cut precision.
Use steady, even pressure—avoid forcing product through to protect blades and ensure uniform slices.
Ensure the slicer is securely positioned on a stable surface for safe operation.
Lightly lubricate guide rods with food-grade lubricant if movement becomes stiff.
Store in a clean, dry area to maintain hygiene and extend equipment life.
