The perfect slice
The GEA DualSlicer is a high-performance slicer with twin, independent drives, and two independently driven top and bottom traction systems, so that it can slice two logs, of different diameter and length, at the same time. It can even create slices of different thickness from each log of cheese or sausage. Two natural-shaped products, such as cheese with holes, bacon or ham, can also be sliced together.
Main applications
The GEA DualSlicer isdesigned for regular-shaped products such as calibrated sausage, salami, cooked ham, raw ham and cheese. Portion forms: shingle, stack, zig zag stack, shaved, pieces, folded and interleaved possible (depends on application).

Specifications
SpecificationsGEA Involute Blade Technology
GEA’s new involute blade technology, ensure very high portion quality with consistent slice thickness, very low ‘give-away’, a high level of ‘on-weight’ portions and very few sliver slices even with soft products such as boiled sausage.
Idle Cut Technology
A blade movement without slicing the product. Conventional technology is to stop and retract the product. For high slicing speeds and involute blades, this technology is no longer working without the undesired effect of sliver slices. The patented idle cut rotor moves away the blade from the product, which helps to avoid sliver slices almost completely and to achieve very consistent slice thickness within a portion.

Add-ons
Add-onsWeighing system GEA Check 4000
The GEA Check 4000 is a high precision weighing system, detecting single weights of sliced portions while moving these over the check weigher. The single portion weights are analyzed in the slicer for weight regulation. Thus, the slicer is able to respond to varying product cross sections and optimize the deviation in average weights over a long period of production time. All side panels can be removed swiftly without tools for cleaning and maintenance. The weighing conveyors can be swiveled upwards for easy removal of belts for cleaning issues. The GEA Check 4000 is available from 1- up to 4-lane configuration.The weighing system is calibrated for loads between 20 and 5,000 g.
Scanning system GEA OptiScanner 600 / 1200
The GEA OptiScanner 600 / 1200 is a pre-scanner system that makes it possible to slice natural products like dry cured ham and cheese with lowest give-away, maximum yield and on-weight portions. The scanner literally looks into the product and determines the density distribution over the length of the product by means of x-ray technology. In this process, the device detects irregular outer contours as well as holes, under slices and irregular distribution of fat and meat. Based on the density distribution, the intelligent software calculates the ideal slice thickness and/or number of slices for each portion prior to slicing.
GEA Interleaver
The GEA Interleaver allows interleaving film or paper in-between slices of several applications. Either cheese or expensive products can be interleaved for a nice appearance in the package. High production reliability and efficiency are guaranteed. Easy access to interleaver paper without machine/ rotor stop is possible at any time,as well as quick fixation of film/ paper jams.
GEA Folding Device
For folding portions, GEA has a folding device, which is located in the slicing area and adjustable in three directions. The slice falls onto the device and by use of rollers and the kinetic energy of the slide it is folded and positioned onto the portioning conveyor. This option is available for all GEA slicer types.

GEA Insights
The water equation
Across Europe, drought is a recurring reality – and no longer confined to the south. While water increasingly shapes where industries locate, its value is determined by local context. There are many technological routes to water efficiency in industrial processes, but location, energy needs and other factors are also key.
