Volano Manual Flywheel Slicer, 319 mm, 55 kg

The Berkel Volano B114X is a manual flywheel slicer for high-end restaurants, delicatessens, hotels and premium food service operations, built entirely by hand in Italy with a 319 mm 100Cr6 chromed steel blade that slices from paper-thin to 1.5 mm across 11 calibrated positions. At 55 kg and co-designed with industrial studio Rizoma, it combines operational precision with a striking automotive-inspired aesthetic — small paint ripples on the cast aluminium body are an intentional hallmark of its non-industrial production process.

The machine accepts both circular product up to 215 mm in diameter and rectangular cuts up to 280×215 mm, driven entirely by the internally balanced aluminium-and-steel-core flywheel. A removable single-movement sharpener, a dishwasher-safe stainless steel receiving plate, a detachable food plate with assisted pusher, and a full chromed aluminium blade guard ring are all included — as is a dedicated stand redesigned specifically for the B114X.

Suited to front-of-house tableside service or high-specification prep kitchens where craftsmanship and repeatability matter equally, the Volano B114X is a centrepiece slicer that performs to professional standards without a motor in sight.
