About this machine

The Bizerba A550 is a meat processing slicer — sometimes referred to as a food slicer or slicing machine — designed specifically for cutting meat, poultry, fish, and cheese in industrial production environments. Bizerba is a well-established German manufacturer known for precision weighing, slicing, and labelling equipment, serving the food processing, retail, and logistics industries worldwide. This machine is suited to medium and large-scale operations where high throughput, portion accuracy, and product flexibility are required.

The slicer operates in a vertical cutting orientation and handles both fresh and cooked products. Its 420 mm blade achieves a production rate of up to 250 slices per minute, making it capable of sustaining continuous high-volume output. Slice thickness is adjustable across a wide range of 0.5 mm to 30 mm, allowing the machine to accommodate a broad variety of product types and portioning requirements. The product infeed accepts pieces up to 600 × 210 × 180 mm (W × D × H), meaning it can process standard-format loaves, logs, and whole muscle cuts without pre-trimming in most cases.

A built-in weighing scale enables weight-controlled slicing, so portioned output can be targeted to a specific gram weight rather than relying solely on slice count or thickness. The machine supports two stacking configurations — shingle stacking and straight stacking — covering the two most common presentation formats for retail and foodservice packaging lines. Virtually all sausage and cheese varieties can be processed in either format without the need for prior freezing of the product.

Operation is managed via an intuitive touchscreen interface that allows multiple programmes to be stored, enabling rapid changeover between different products or portion specifications on the same line. The machine is mounted on castors, making it mobile and repositionable across different production areas, which adds practical flexibility in multi-line or multi-product facilities.

Constructed entirely from stainless steel, the machine is built to meet the hygiene demands of food processing environments. It runs on a 400 V three-phase supply (3+N, 50 Hz) with a power consumption of 2.3 kW. Overall dimensions are 2,320 × 800 × 1,835 mm (W × D × H) and the machine weighs 480 kg. This is a used example, manufactured in 2013 and currently located in the Netherlands.
