The slicer Berkel model 21N is equipped with a precise adjustment of the thickness of the slice at 15 positions with a snap-on clock and has a metal cover to protect the worm, which as in most of the models produced in Europe was a 2-start principle. An automatic guard was fixed on the shoulder. It uses an open type articulated arm and the plate of the nailed plate produced in stainless steel and has a total carriage stroke of 310 mm. At the time of production it was painted in metallic red gray and black and the metal parts were chromed, of course in the restoration phase we respect the colors in the original formulas using new generation paints, and in the electroplating obviously the chrome plating is respected. This special work tool was often used resting directly on the workbenches, but its original pedestal was optionally provided. The Berkel model 21N slicer has a net weight of 98 Kg.
