Commercial meat slicers are becoming more prevalent than ever here in the UK, including in high street butcher shops, supermarket butchers, and fast-paced restaurant kitchens. Take it from us – we supply our fair share of them here at Butchers Equipment Warehouse! So, you may be wondering, why should I invest in commercial meat slicers for my own premises? Well, to be honest there are all sorts of reasons. Here are some of our biggest!

Increase output and efficiency

This is one of the core advantages of commercial meat slicers – the ability to cut down on preparation time, and achieve excellent portion consistency and uniformity. That makes them ideal when you require perfectly sliced meats on repeat, and several commercial meat slicers working in tandem can make short work of even the largest amounts of raw meat. These attributes are particularly useful for commercial environments that are often processing a large volume of meat, like industrial facilities, or restaurant kitchens.

Reduce injuries, stress and physical strain for staff

It’s no secret that certain specific jobs in the butchery sector – particularly in industrial facilities – can have quite high turnover rates. That’s largely because of how physically taxing they are; it’s not unusual for butchers to deal with Repetitive Strain Injuries in the course of their work, not to mention the injuries that can sometimes occur.

Commercial meat slicers can save your team a considerable amount of work and stress by providing them with a way to cut meat cleanly and consistently throughout the duration of their shift. It saves them a lot of physical effort and protects them from some of the most common risks, and saves them a lot of mental effort too, so they don’t have to give their work the same high level of unbroken concentration all throughout the working day.

Reliable and easy to operate, providing peace of mind

One of the many reasons that commercial meat slicers make life so much easier for staff is that they’re fairly intuitive to use, so that you can immediately spot an uptick in productivity, and the amount of time that you’re able to save yourself. And as we’ve touched on above, unlike humans, commercial meat slicers don’t start to get tired towards the end of their shift, so you can always expect consistent results.

It can also save you plenty of money, energy and time on training new staff, as it eliminates many of the issues that can factor into people looking for new jobs – including physical and mental stress, and risk of injury. That means that instead, you can focus the extra manpower on other areas of the business, and ensure the wellbeing of your staff.

Those are just a couple of the top reasons we’ve identified – you may well be able to think of a couple more of your own! And if you’re looking to replace any of your butchers machinery, then you’re in the right place.
