We supply a wide range of Berkel commercial meat slicers, suitable for different environments and workloads.
Gravity Meat Slicers
Gravity slicers are the mainstay of professional butchery and deli environments: reliable, precise, and built for daily commercial use. The gravity action allows the product to slide across the blade under its own weight, giving the operator speed and control without mechanical complexity. GMSE stocks the Essentia, Domina, Suprema, Pro Line and Red Line gravity series, covering a wide range of blade sizes, throughput requirements and price points.Automatic Meat Slicers
Automatic slicers motorise the carriage movement, producing consistent slices at a set thickness without manual intervention. They are suited to production kitchens and catering operations where a single product needs to be sliced at volume with repeatable portion sizes and minimal handling. GMSE stocks the Pro Line GL30 Auto and Suprema PEG 350 Auto with integrated scale.Traditional & Premium Models
Berkel's Volano flywheel slicer is one of the most recognisable pieces of food equipment in the world - hand-crafted in Italy, operating on a large counterweighted flywheel mechanism that produces wafer-thin cuts of cured meats, charcuterie and cheese with a precision and texture no electric slicer can replicate. GMSE stocks the full Volano range including the B2, B114, B116, B116A, P15 and Tribute, along with matching flywheel slicer stands.If you’re unsure which type of commercial meat slicer is right for your business, our team is always happy to advise.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Meat Slicers
-
A gravity slicer uses the weight of the product to slide it across the blade, guided by the operator. This gives excellent control and is well suited to butchers, delis and kitchens where different products and portion sizes are being sliced throughout the day. An automatic slicer motorises the carriage movement, producing consistent slices at a set thickness without manual intervention — better suited to operations where a single product needs to be sliced at volume with repeatable portion sizes and minimal handling, such as production kitchens and catering operations.
-
The Berkel Volano is a hand-crafted flywheel slicer made in Italy, operating on a large counterweighted flywheel mechanism rather than an electric motor. The flywheel action produces an exceptionally smooth, consistent slicing motion that generates wafer-thin cuts of cured meats, charcuterie and cheese that electric slicers cannot replicate. Volano slicers are used by premium delis, fine dining restaurants and specialist food retailers as both a working tool and a front-of-house centrepiece. Matching stands are available to complement all Volano models.
