According to the makers, high throughput, precise portion control, ease of cleaning and use, optional integration into a Press-to-Slice solution – all come with the smallest possible footprint. These outstanding features ensure that the new Formax® SX550 slicer from Provisur increases efficiency, flexibility and quality when slicing products such as bacon, cooked and raw ham, sausage specialties or cheese. It sets new standards for high speed slicing.

The Formax® SX550 slicer, part of the proven SX series platform, features the largest slicing throat in its class. The machine can be configured for optimal performance based on specific product requirements, even for particularly demanding applications such as slicing bacon, pork belly, or raw ham. This new model is designed for high-performance. The slicer, with its robust and durable design, features a torsion-resistant frame to ensure precise alignment over the life of the slicer. It boasts a large slicing throat of 550 x 206 mm and achieves a maximum blade speed of 2000 RPM. Three product feed lengths, including an 800 mm option, reduce loading times to just a few seconds. The high performance slicer, has a very compact footprint to fit into plants with limited floor space.

The Formax® SX550 slicer is defined by its precision and high performance. It slices products at top speed, delivering perfect results down to the last slice. The slicer achieves this premium quality due to its superior design, which features two independent product drives with both an upper and a lower feed. The feed belts extend all the way to the blade, ensuring precise control over the product right up to the final slice. The innovative blade design guarantees excellent cutting quality even at maximum speeds. High-quality blades, manufactured in Europe, are finely tuned for a precise slicing process that meets the specific requirements of European products. Due to various blade profile options and coatings, the machine is perfectly suited for slicing a wide range of applications. The wide slicing throat ensures optimal positioning of the products during slicing, which not only enhances the slicing process itself but also ensures a visually appealing presentation of each portion.

The sophisticated, hygienic design of the Formax® SX550 slicer enhances product safety. The open construction, swivel-mounted control panel (HMI) and easily removable cartridges make all components highly accessible for the cleaning process. All parts, except for the blade, can be removed without the use of tools. This facilitates residue-free cleaning and reduces the time required for this process by up to 50%. The SX550’s motors are rated IP69K, making them suitable for high-pressure cleaning at elevated temperatures.

The Formax® SX550 slicer impresses with its high throughput, strong capabilities and flexible design. From the outset, the machine can be precisely configured to meet individual needs, ensuring optimal performance for specific applications. The quick and easy execution of product changes ensures high flexibility and efficiency in operation. A key feature of the slicer is its ability to accommodate additional functionality after installation. This includes adding features such as extra scales or a second product drive to adapt to changing requirements. As a result, the Formax® SX550 slicer remains adaptable and powerful, regardless of how production needs evolve.  For more visit provisur.com
