Berkel Model 7 Red: The Iconic Vintage Flywheel Slicer (1922–1928)

The Berkel Model 7 flywheel slicer is one of the most fascinating historical models produced by Van Berkel between 1922 and 1928. Recognized by experts as the direct evolution of the Model 5, it represents a fundamental milestone in the brand's history: it was the second model to also be assembled in Italy, at the historic Brevetti van Berkel Italia plant in Milan.

Technical Features & Innovations

The Model 7 introduced significant technical enhancements designed for professional use in butcher shops and delicatessens:

  • Italian Fixing Arm: In the Italian version, the salami fixing arm features an opening facing the flywheel, designed to clamp and slice large products faster and more efficiently.

  • Slice Thickness Adjustment: Equipped with a 15-position regulator fixed to the upper right part of the machine body.

  • Built-in Sharpener: Mounted on the upper shoulder, it retains the shape of the Model 5 (with substantial differences compared to that of the later Model 8H).

  • Finishes and Colors: Originally produced in red, metallic gray, black, and ivory, featuring finely chromed metal components.

Evolution of Style: The success of the Model 7 paved the way for the subsequent production of the famous Berkel 10 and Berkel 12 models.
