SEMI-INDUSTRIAL CROSS SLICER

Semi-Industrial Cross Slicer

The semi-industrial Cross Slicer 208 is designed for small and medium-sized bakeries slicing bread before delivery. It comes standard equipped with a bag-blowing unit for plastic bags and variable speed double in-feed belts. The side guides can be adjusted according to the length of the bread, and the upper belt can be adjusted according to the height. The maximum capacity is 1,200 breads per hour, depending on the type of bread and operator efficiency.

A bag-blowing device automatically opens the plastic bag, allowing the operator to push the bread in by hand. There’s no need to take the bread and place it on a bagging plate, thus saving considerable time. This system requires bags with a lid, which are available through a bag supplier.

Superior Bakery Systems Inc. has developed a semi-automatic packaging line that perfectly complements the Cross Slicer 208. The complete unit includes a bread slicer, bag blower, and horizontal conveyor line with a bag closing system for clip or twist closures. Swivel wheels and a compact design make the unit easy to move so it can be used in various locations.

After slicing the bread, the bag blower opens the plastic bag by inflating air. The sliced bread is manually inserted in one natural movement into the bag and onto the conveyor line. Filled bags are then transported over the conveyor line to the bag closing system for final closure.

The complete unit of bread slicer, bag blower, conveyor line, and bag closing system has a total footprint of just over 4m², making it the ideal compact slicing and packaging solution for any semi-industrial bakery.
