We recently shipped our single lane beef horizontal slicer to a valued customer in Spain, who specializes in crafting authentic Milanesa—a beloved local snitzchel dish. The customer’s production process for Milanesa starts with perfectly sliced boneless beef, which is then lightly salted to enhance flavor, after flatterning the beef slice, and tempura battering with the egg, and breaded with pan rallado (Spanish bread crumbs) before being fried in extra virgin olive oil for a crispy, delicious finish. To cater to the varied preferences of local restaurants, the customer specifically requested two slice thicknesses—4mm and 5mm—ensuring their Milanesa steaks are cooked evenly and offer the ideal texture, making them a standout dish on restaurant menus.
Our single lane beef horizontal slicer is specially designed to meet such culinary production needs, with a primary focus on slicing boneless fresh beef, beef eye of round, and other popular beef cuts — the most widely used and best-selling meats for authentic Milanesa in Spain. Equipped with two parallel sets of conveyor belts, the machine delivers consistent, uniform slices by placing the meat on the lower belt—eliminating uneven thickness that can affect cooking and presentation. Boasting high accuracy and impressive efficiency, it can produce up to 60 pieces per minute, slice a maximum of 7 layers at once, achieve a minimum slice thickness of 3mm, and accommodate meat with a maximum height of 50mm—perfectly aligning with the customer’s Milanesa production requirements. In this blog post, we will explore how this versatile beef horizontal slicer can help improve your meat processing operations.
Impressive Large Capacity
When it comes to output efficiency, our single lane beef slicer truly shines—especially for our Spanish customer, who specializes in crafting authentic Milanesa and only requires processing 300 kg of beef slices per hour. That’s why they chose our single lane model, which delivers a reliable 200-400 kg of perfectly sliced beef per hour—perfectly matching their daily production demands without wasting energy or increasing costs. We understand that every business has unique needs, so we offer a full range of capacity options to suit different scales and budgets: 400-800 kg/hour and 800-1200 kg/hour models for larger-scale meat processors, plus both single lane (200-400 kg/hour) and double lane (500-1000 kg/hour) basic models for flexible choices. What’s more, both single and double lane models feature adjustable conveyor belt and cutting speeds, allowing you to fine-tune the machine to fit specific processing needs.
User-Friendly Control Panel
Our single lane beef horizontal slicer features an intuitive, easy-to-use control panel designed for maximum efficiency and simplicity. With a sleek silver-gray finish and an all-English interface, operators can easily navigate settings, adjusting cutting and conveyor speeds to suit specific slicing requirements. Recognizing that workspace layouts vary, we offer flexible panel placement options—either below or above the machine. Our Spanish customer opted for an above-mounted panel, which enhances operational convenience by eliminating the need to bend down and provides better protection against splashes and dirt—ideal for busy meat processing settings. The control panel allows for precise adjustments of conveyor speed, machine frequency, and slicing speed, streamlining production workflows. Built-in warning lights provide real-time safety alerts, ensuring operator protection during daily operations. Designed with durability in mind, the panel boasts an IP65 waterproof rating, making it resistant to moisture and suitable for humid environments. To accommodate global users, we also offer customizable language options, ensuring clarity and ease of use worldwide. Overall, the user-friendly design enhances operational efficiency, safety, and reliability—helping our customers focus on producing high-quality meat products with confidence.
Customized Guide Plates
Our single lane beef horizontal slicer is specially engineered to meet the precise requirements of Milanesa production, with extensive customization options to ensure peak performance. For our Spanish customer, who processes 50mm‑thick raw beef for their Milanesa steaks, we customized the guide plates to 45mm, ensuring the beef is properly compressed for consistent multi‑layer cutting — critical for achieving uniform 4mm and 5mm slices. This customization is simple to adjust: by turning the screws above the conveyor belt, users can firmly press the meat against the blades, improving cutting accuracy and reducing waste during slicing. For the delicate beef slices used in Milanesa, we recommended a strip mesh belt, which gently conveys tender boneless beef slices without damaging their texture, preserving the ideal tenderness and consistency required by local restaurants. With continuous beef feeding capability, the slicer delivers stable operation and efficient, high‑quality output — up to 400 kg per hour — perfectly matching the customer’s daily production volume. Featuring an adjustable slicing thickness from 3mm to 50mm, plus variable conveyor and cutting speeds, the machine offers the flexibility to satisfy diverse recipe specifications and scaling needs, from small batches to larger‑scale processing, making it the ideal solution for consistently producing high‑quality Milanesa slices.
Innovative Safety and Maintenance Design
Our innovative beef horizontal slicer now features a specially designed machine cover secured with clips instead of traditional screws, a significant advancement tailored specifically for our Spanish customers. This new clip-secured cover allows for quick and convenient replacement, drastically simplifying maintenance, reducing downtime, and enhancing operational efficiency. Additionally, the cover is designed with operator safety in mind; it acts as a protective barrier during machine operation, shielding operators from rotating blades and preventing accidental contact. The slicer also incorporates an obtuse angle design on the cover, which not only improves safety by eliminating sharp edges but also facilitates easier cleaning and maintenance access. This thoughtful design ensures that the operator’s safety is prioritized while maintaining high hygiene standards. The secure fit of the cover during operation, combined with these safety features and easy-access design, reflects our commitment to customer-centric innovation, making the equipment safer, more user-friendly, and more efficient for daily meat processing tasks.
Multi-layer Slicing Flexibility
Our single lane beef slicer offers precise customization of slicing thickness, with a wide range from 3mm to 50mm achieved by changing the multi-layer blade assembly, making it ideal for authentic Spanish Milanesa. One of the most versatile features of the slicer is this multi-layer slicing capability, specially designed to meet diverse beef processing requirements—including those of our Spanish Milanesa customer. The customer relied on this flexibility to achieve precise beef slice thicknesses of 4mm and 5mm, ensuring perfect texture for pressing, coating, breading, and frying. While they only needed these two specific thicknesses, many clients require a broader range; one Italian customer, for example, effortlessly switched from 4mm to 8mm simply by removing the 4mm blade, enabling quick adjustments without complex procedures. Additionally, the machine features a butterfly blade assembly that, with minor adjustments to guide plates, allows for uniform scored or decorative slices—adding a unique, marketable touch to finished beef products. Whether producing ultra-thin 3mm slices or thicker beef cuts, our horizontal beef slicer consistently delivers precise, high-quality results tailored to your product specifications and customer preferences. To further support gentle handling of tender beef slices, we also provide customizable conveyor belt options; for this Spanish customer, we recommended the strip mesh belt, which transports delicate boneless beef slices smoothly without damaging their texture, ensuring the ideal tenderness and consistency demanded by local restaurants.
European Standards Food Safety Compliance
Our single lane beef horizontal slicer features a durable and hygienic construction entirely made from CE-certified 304 food-grade stainless steel, which meets European standards for quality and safety.
