Slice Thickness Slice Gap
Less than 1/16" (1.6 mm) 3/16-7/32"(4.8-5.1 mm)
1/16-1/8" (1.6-3.2 mm) 7/32-9/32" (5.1-7.1 mm)
1/8-1/4" (3.2-6.4 mm) 9/32-3/8" (7.1-9.5 mm)
1/4-3/8" (6.4-9.5 mm) 3/8-7/16" (9.5-11.1 mm)
The slice gap adjustment procedure is listed below. Figure 16 shows the slice gap adjustment bolts.
1. Loosen the two hex head screws in the bottom of the thickness tray.
2. Adjust the slice gap.
3. Align the other side of the thickness tray in the same manner.
4. Tighten the adjustment bolts.
Slice Gap Adjustment -
All-Electric Slicers
1. On both ends of the thickness tray loosen the two hex head cap screws holding the
Adjustment Block to the Pivot Block Support .
2. Adjust the slice gap by using a hammer to tap the Adjustment Block back and forth in the
horizontal direction.
3. Alternate between the ends of the thickness tray until the desired gap is obtained and the gap
is uniform across the width of the thickness tray. Refer to the slice thickness/gap table in
the hydraulic slicer slice gap description above.
4. Tighten the four hex head cap screws that were loosened in step 1.
Leveling the Thickness Tray
The thickness tray should be level (parallel or even with) the blade guide. Slice thickness may
not be uniform if the tray is uneven. Adjust the tray by using the following procedure:
1. Set the band blade tracking as described later. (Remove the band blade after setting the
tracking).
2. Set the Slice-gap as described in Slice Gap Adjustment on Page 5.
3. Loosen the hex head bolt in the drive side thickness tray mounting assembly pictured in
Figure 16 for hydraulic slicers and Figure 18 for All-Electric slicers..
4. Lay a straight edge across the blade guide and thickness tray near the drive side end of
the blade guide.
5. If the minimum cut is not zero, place a shim equal to the minimum thickness under the
straight edge on the thickness tray.
6. Use the thickness control knob and the slice thickness adjustment bolt to bring the
blade guide and thickness tray into close alignment.
7. Tighten the hex head bolt that was loosened in step 3 above.
