|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Deli meats & cheese portioning | Bulk mince for burgers/sausages | Uniform burger patties at speed |
| Output | Blade Ø 250–370 mm; continuous duty on gear‑drive | 180–1000 kg/hr depending on model | ~1,000 / 2,000 / 3,000 patties/hr families |

Tip: specify by peak throughput (kg/hr or patties/hr), duty cycle (continuous vs batch), and blade/plate set. Add spare knives/plates and a meatball kit to maximise uptime.
How to specify RFE
- Define workload: peak kg/hr or patties/hr; product types (beef, cheese, etc.).
- Choose drive type: belt for value or gear for heavy, continuous duty.
- Confirm site power, bench/floor loading, and operator workflow.
- Select accessories: paper feed, meatball kit, spare plates/knives, trays.
- Plan cleaning SOPs & training; schedule blade/plate rotation & safety checks.
FAQ
Do RFE units include a 4‑year warranty?
Yes—many RFE machines ship with an extended 4‑year warranty (model‑dependent). Check each product page for coverage details.
What’s the difference between belt‑drive and gear‑drive slicers?
Belt‑drive models are quieter and great value for cafés/delis; gear‑drive models deliver higher torque and suit continuous duty in supermarkets and butcheries.
How do I size a patty former?
Match patties/hour to peak tickets (e.g., 1,000 vs 2,000 vs 3,000/hr). Choose die diameter/weight for your burger size and add paper‑feed for speed and product separation.
