Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Bridge Deli in Bakewell, Peak District, needed to upgrade their ageing slicer which was causing inconsistent thicknesses and  a lot of food waste. They chose the Modena SL300 for its reputation for reliability and  precision.

"The difference was immediate. Our charcuterie boards look more professional, and  the adjustable thickness is incredibly accurate. It’s sturdy, easy to clean, and  just gets the job done without any fuss. Our prep is so much faster now."

Robert Davies – Owner

The deli successfully reduced their cooked meat wastage by over 20% and  sped up sandwich preparation during the busy tourist season.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable, and  level work surface with enough space around it for safe operation.
  • Before first use, wipe down the entire unit with a food-safe sanitiser.
  • Ensure the blade guard and  all safety features are correctly in place.
  • Plug the 13-amp plug into a standard wall socket and  switch on to test it runs smoothly.

Keeping It Going

  • Always unplug the slicer from the wall before cleaning.
  • After each use, clean the blade and  body with a damp cloth and  food-safe sanitiser.
  • Use the built-in sharpener regularly – a quick touch-up every few days maintains the edge.
  • Periodically check that all guards and  handles are secure and  functioning correctly.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Slicer

Not sure what fits best for your kitchen? Here’s a quick guide to help you pick the perfect commercial slicer.

Blade Size Matters

A 12-inch (300mm) blade like this one is a great all-rounder, perfect for large joints of meat, but smaller 10-inch blades are available for lighter use or smaller spaces.

Motor Power

Look for a motor that can handle what you throw at it. A 180W motor is ideal for slicing both soft cheeses and  dense cured meats without struggling.

Safety Features

Non-negotiables include a fixed ring guard around the blade and  a sturdy product grip. This protects hands and  ensures safe operation during busy shifts.

Ease of Cleaning

Smooth, rounded bodies made from materials like anodized aluminium prevent food from getting trapped and  make daily cleaning much quicker and  more hygienic.

Gravity vs. Automatic Feed

Gravity feed slicers, like the SL300, use an angled carriage to help 'feed' the product into the blade. They offer great control and  are perfect for most kitchens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How thick can this slicer cut?

A: The Modena SL300 has an adjustable thickness control that allows for slices from 0mm up to 12mm thick.

Q: Can this machine slice cheese as well as meat?

A: Yes, it's powerful enough to handle both cooked/cured meats and  medium-hard cheeses. For softer cheeses, chilling them first yields the best results.

Q: What is a 'gravity feed' slicer?

A: It means the food carriage is set at an angle, so gravity helps you push the product towards the blade, requiring less effort for a smooth, even slice.

Q: How often should I use the built-in sharpener?

A: For daily use, a quick sharpening once or twice a week is usually sufficient to maintain a perfect edge. It only takes a few seconds.

Q: What kind of power socket does it need?

A: It comes fitted with a standard UK 13-amp plug, so you can plug it straight into any normal wall socket. No electrician needed.

Q: Is the blade difficult to clean?

A: Always unplug the unit first. The blade can be cleaned carefully in place with a cloth. The seamless anodized aluminium body is designed to be wiped down easily.

Q: Is this a professional meat slicer machine suitable for a busy deli?

A: Absolutely. It's designed as a heavy-duty commercial slicer, making it perfect for the demands of a busy deli, restaurant, or catering kitchen.

Q: Is the body made of plastic or metal?

A: The body is made from high-quality, corrosion-resistant anodized aluminium, with a stainless steel blade for durability and  hygiene.

Modena has carved out a reputation for producing no-frills, high-performance equipment that stands up to the rigours of the modern commercial kitchen. This slicer is not loaded with complex electronics that can fail; instead, its strength lies in its robust, mechanical simplicity. The anodized aluminium construction does not just look professional; it actively resists the corrosion and  wear that can plague lesser machines in a humid kitchen environment.

Why the Built-In Sharpener is Your Secret Weapon

Ever wondered how to keep your slicer's blade perfectly sharp without sending it away or fumbling with tricky tools? The Modena SL300's built-in sharpener solves this. Think of it as having a professional knife sharpener permanently attached and  perfectly angled. When cuts start to lose their crispness, you simply engage the two-stone sharpening system for a few seconds. One stone sharpens the edge, while the other hones it, removing any tiny burrs. The result? A factory-sharp blade in under a minute, ensuring cleaner cuts, less product tearing, and  better safety, all without any downtime.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Delicatessens & Farm Shops: Perfect for slicing cooked meats, continental charcuterie, and  cheeses consistently for counter sales and  platters.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: An essential tool for prepping ingredients, from beef for carpaccio to ham for sandwiches, ensuring portion control.
  • Professional Catering Companies: A heavy duty meat slicer for catering that offers reliability and  speed when preparing food for large events and  functions.
  • Pubs & Sandwich Bars: Ideal for preparing daily sandwich fillings and  roast meats for carveries, boosting speed and  consistency during lunch rushes.
