The Grote SS-2 is a used sector slicer — sometimes referred to as a portion splitter — designed specifically for dividing meat products longitudinally into halves or quarters ahead of a downstream slicing operation. Grote is a well-established American manufacturer of food processing equipment, known in particular for its slicing, portioning, and topping-application machinery for the pizza, deli, ready-meal, and snack food industries.
This machine is built to prepare round or cylindrical meat products such as pepperoni, sausage, and ham for subsequent slicing into rounds, cubes, or shavings. By splitting products cleanly before they reach the slicer, the SS-2 allows processors to increase line efficiency, improve yield consistency, and reduce reliance on manual preparation. It is noted as a compatible upstream companion to Grote 613 bulk slicers and to Grote's slicer-applicator units used in high-accuracy pizza-topping and tray-loading lines.
According to the seller's information, the machine handles products with a diameter of 1 to 5 inches, covering a range from thin pepperoni sticks through to thicker ham or salami logs. Throughput is rated at up to 500 pieces per hour, and the cutting cycle takes approximately 2 seconds per piece, making it suitable for continuous production environments. The split pieces are described as remaining dimensionally stable and intact at the core, so they separate cleanly during the next processing stage without deformation.
Construction is in stainless steel throughout, with quick-release components and open access to all working zones to facilitate fast, thorough cleaning in line with food industry hygiene requirements. The machine was manufactured in the USA. This unit is currently located in Poland and is offered in used condition.
