Mid-size Allrounder
GEA MegaSlicer L
The GEA MegaSlicer L is a high-performance slicing machine - mainly for cooked ham and calibrated products - with respect to slicing quality, high yield, easy and flexible operation in combination with a very high hygienic execution.
High efficiency
The GEA MegaSlicer is one of the most versatile and capable slicing machines on the market today for sausage, raw or cooked ham, bacon and cheese. The machine setup allows either manual or automatic product loading. The circular blade technology can be used for a very wide range of products and applications. Portions, with consistent slice thickness, even with soft products such as boiled sausage. The patented idle cut rotor virtually eliminates sliver slices while helping to achieve a high level of ‘on-weight’.
Main applications
The GEA MegaSlicer L is designed for regular-shaped products such as calibrated sausage, salami, cooked ham, raw ham and cheese. Different portion forms possible: shingle, stack, zig-zag stack, shaved, contour shingle, folded, chunks and interleaved (depends on application).

Specifications
SpecificationsGEA Circular Blade Technology
Circular blade technology, with servo-driven feeding, achieves consistent slice thickness; accurate, repeatable portion control; and minimum wastage from trim cuts and end pieces. The wide throatallows multiple logs to be sliced at the same time giving a high throughput with a small footprint.
Idle Cut Technology
A blade movement without slicing the product. Conventional technology is to stop and retract the product. For high slicing speeds and involute blades, this technology is no longer working without the undesired effect of sliver slices. The patented idle cut rotor moves away the blade from the product, which helps to avoid sliver slices almost completely and to achieve very consistent slice thickness within a portion.

Add-ons
Options GEA MegaSlicer LWeighing system GEA Check 4000
The GEA Check 4000 is a high precision weighing system, detecting single weights of sliced portions while moving these over the check weigher. The single portion weights are analyzed in the slicer for weight regulation. Thus, the slicer is able to respond to varying product cross sections and optimize the deviation in average weights over a long period of production time. All side panels can be removed swiftly without tools for cleaning and maintenance. The weighing conveyors can be swiveled upwards for easy removal of belts for cleaning issues. The GEA Check 4000 is available from 1- up to 4-lane configuration. The weighing system is calibrated for loads between 20 and 5,000 g.
Scanning system GEA OptiScanner 600 / 1200
The GEA OptiScanner 600 / 1200 is a pre-scanner system that makes it possible to slice natural products like dry cured ham and cheese with lowest give-away, maximum yield and on-weight portions. The scanner literally looks into the product and determines the density distribution over the length of the product by means of x-ray technology. In this process, the device detects irregular outer contours as well as holes, under slices and irregular distribution of fat and meat. Based on the density distribution, the intelligent software calculates the ideal slice thickness and/or number of slices for each portion prior to slicing.
GEA Interleaver
The GEA Interleaver allows interleaving film or paper in-between slices of several applications. Either cheese or expensive products can be interleaved for a nice appearance in the package. High production reliability and efficiency are guaranteed. Easy access to interleaver paper without machine/ rotor stop is possible at any time,as well as quick fixation of film/ paper jams.
GEA Folding Device
For folding portions, GEA has a folding device, which is located in the slicing area and adjustable in three directions. The slice falls onto the device and by use of rollers and the kinetic energy of the slide it is folded and positioned onto the portioning conveyor. This option is available for all GEA slicer types.
GEA Cross-Shingle/ XY-conveyor
Different, multi-dimensional product forms can be formed with the help of the cross-shingle/ XY-conveyor as a specific form of the portioning conveyor. By lateral movements of the portioning area, various portion patterns, such as overlapping cross-shingles, can be produced with the cross-shingle conveyor. Circles, overlapping cross-singles and meanders are portion shapes that can be easily produced with the XY-conveyor moving sideways, forwards and backwards.
