The slicer is 870 mm long. 650mm wide. 485 mm high.- Requires a support space of 490 mm. x 340mm. The worm screw which is used to move the plate where the product to be cut is fixed is located in the rear part of the slicer carriage. The model C slicer has a 14-position slice thickness adjustment fixed on the right side of the slicer and has an arc shape, and is completely devoid of any system for sharpening the blade, which in any case was adapted later.
