Berkel Volano B114 Flywheel Manual Slicer
The Volano B114 is the largest and most detailed machine in Berkel's current classic flywheel range. A 319mm blade, the biggest Berkel makes in production, gives a 215mm cutting capacity (280 x 215mm rectangular), and every machine carries the flower flywheel with the Van Berkel International Milano inscription on the rim and an NFC authenticity tag cast into the body. At 59kg it stands firm through the heaviest use. A matching floor stand is available separately. Planning this Volano as part of a luxury kitchen or interior project?

Blade and slicing performance The 319mm 100Cr6 chrome steel blade is the largest on any current production Volano, sweeping through a whole prosciutto or a large mortadella in a single pass. Thickness sets across 11 indexed positions from 0 to 1.5mm and returns to a chosen setting exactly. A built-in sharpener keeps the edge ready. 319mm 100Cr6 chromed steel blade with professional concave profile Slice thickness: 0 to 1.5mm across 11 indexed positions Circular cutting capacity: 215mm diameter Rectangular cutting capacity: 280 x 215mm Minimal residual product on the final slice Built-in sharpener with single sharpening movement Construction and finish The body is cast aluminium alloy with adjustable stainless steel and rubber feet that level out on uneven surfaces. The flower flywheel is internally balanced with a squared profile and drives the blade through a chain transmission, built for sustained, intensive use. The Van Berkel International Milano inscription runs around the flywheel rim, and gold decorative paintwork finishes the varnished panels.
