Berkel Volano Tribute Flywheel Manual Slicer
The Volano Tribute is Berkel's homage to the Model B of the 1920s, known as the "Indianina". It pairs a 300mm 100Cr6 blade with a fully specified build: a stainless steel food plate and product press, an 11-position indexed gauge knob for repeatable thickness, and the flower flywheel that defines the classic Berkel look. It shares its cutting capacity with the B3 and steps the materials and detailing up throughout. A matching floor stand is available separately.

Blade and slicing performance The 300mm 100Cr6 chrome steel blade carries the same concave profile as the rest of the Volano range, moving through cured meats and cheeses with ease. An 11-position indexed gauge knob sets thickness from 0 to 1.5mm and returns to a chosen setting exactly. A built-in two-movement sharpener keeps the edge keen with extra precision. 300mm 100Cr6 chromed steel blade with professional concave profile Slice thickness: 0 to 1.5mm across 11 indexed positions Circular cutting capacity: 210mm diameter Rectangular cutting capacity: 270 x 210mm Minimal residual product on the final slice Built-in sharpener with two independent sharpening movements 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 so it stays put at rest, and drives the blade through a chain transmission, the robust system used across the Volano range. Gold decorative paintwork runs across the varnished panels, with chromed steel detailing throughout and a screw-operated blade guard.

An assisted stainless steel product press holder keeps the food locked against the plate throughout the cut. The plate uses a quick-advance and return mechanism combined with a millimetric adjustment knob for fine product positioning.

The stainless steel receiving plate is removable and dishwasher-safe. A rear collection area gathers waste trimmings so they stay off the worktop.
