The manual flywheel slicer is a fascinating machine that recreates the convivial atmosphere of a traditional Italian delicatessen. Upon entering a restaurant where it’s used within view, the customer is drawn to it, and will find it hard to resist asking for a slice. Its mechanism, however, only appears to be a simple one. In fact, the flywheel slicer is actually a highly complex machine. It’s a manual slicer without a vertical support upon which to rest the product to be sliced. When the flywheel is turned, the mechanism is engaged, with three coordinated movements: the blade, the carriage, and the plate, which advances based on the set portions, or rather the thickness of the slice to be cut. The mechanism is based on the ratio of the blade’s revolutions to the carriage’s advancement.
It’s a highly technical machine that requires extreme precision during both the manufacturing and assembly stages. With respect to inclined machines, which allow for the fast cutting of a single product, as well as quick alternation between various products, the flywheel slicer is recommended for tasks that involve cutting the same product over long periods of time.

The Legend slicer is a combination electric and manual machine, for which the operator chooses the operating mode. In electric mode, all the operator has to do is to collect the slice and place it in the collection area, as the blade rotates independently, and the carriage moves forward on its own. In manual mode, on the other hand, the operator can choose whether to operate the carriage manually, while allowing the blade turn electrically, or else to operate both the carriage and the blade manually. Being both manual and electric, the slicer is equipped with a vertical product support for safety reasons. The inclusion of a backing was a practical choice, as it allows the operator to proceed without performing preliminary tests, which result in discarded slices. When the manual function is enabled, however, the vertical product support moves, and the plate advances based on the desired thickness. Like with all the manual machines, the product does not come into contact with any surface during the cutting phase.
While the Legend slicer’s red colour is reminiscent of vintage slicing machines, it is not simply a remake of an older model, but is rather meticulously designed with entirely new mechanisms and technologies. The Legend even boasts a unique feature not found on any other model on the market: it’s the only flywheel slicer from which the carriage can be entirely detached for easy cleaning. This mechanism, which allows the flywheel slicer to be conveniently disassembled, was meticulously designed by Sirman’s engineers, and is protected by two registered patents.
Like many Sirman products, the professional flywheel slicer is conveniently sized for compact spaces, and can fit atop a 70 cm table.
ThisItalian flywheel slicer is reminiscent of the attentive, elegant, high quality food service of the past. While the machine’s refined movements and carefully crafted aesthetics make it a show-piece for any food service enterprise, its meticulous design and construction also guarantee extremely high performance standards, regardless of its appearance.
