Berkel Slicers & Vacuum Packaging Machines in Toronto & Canada

Berkel Slicers & Vacuum Packaging Machines in Toronto & Canada

Berkel traces its roots to 1898, when W.A. Van Berkel, a butcher in Rotterdam, built the world's first meat slicing machine. It's now headquartered in Troy, Ohio, as part of the ITW Food Equipment Group, and it makes slicers, vacuum packaging machines, and bread slicers. Why choose Berkel over a slicer brand like Globe? You're buying from the company that invented the slicer, backed by its sister company Hobart Service, with 1,500 factory trained technicians across Canada and the USA. Our Berkel models come with a 1 year parts and labour warranty, handled by Berkel's authorized service agencies. One standout is the Berkel 300M-STD Manual Prosciutto Flywheel Slicer. It's hand operated in Berkel's classic red, and every turn of its low resistance flywheel moves the carriage and feeds the product into the knife automatically. We also carry the Berkel B12E Manual Aluminum Meat Slicer, made in Italy with a built in sharpener. The B9, B10, and B12E are quick ship and usually go out within 1-2 business days, while other models typically have an estimated lead time of 1-4 weeks. Phoenix Food Equipment ships Berkel from Vaughan across Toronto, the GTA, and the rest of Canada and the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

What is the warranty on Berkel products?

Berkel's warranty goes through the manufacturer, and service is handled by Berkel's authorized service agencies across Canada and the USA. Berkel equipment comes with a 1 year parts and labour warranty from installation, with labour covered within 50 miles of an authorized agency, and replacement parts carry their own 90 day warranty. We can assist with any brand that isn't in-house, so if you have any questions, or your slicer arrives defective, damaged, or not what you ordered, contact us at sales@phoenixfe.ca or 1-833-669-8003.

Where are Berkel products made?

Berkel is headquartered in Troy, Ohio, as part of the ITW Food Equipment Group, and it's made slicers in the USA since 1909. Several models we carry, including the B9, B12, B12A, B12E, and 300M-STD, are made in Italy, so the country of manufacture depends on the model. For a specific model, contact us with the model number and we'll confirm it before you order.

Is Berkel a good brand for meat slicers?

Yes. Berkel built the world's first meat slicing machine in 1898 and has made foodservice slicers for more than 125 years. Its sister company Hobart Service gives Berkel owners a large network of factory trained technicians, so help is close by when a slicer needs attention. We carry Berkel manual and automatic meat slicers, prosciutto flywheel slicers, bread slicers, and chamber vacuum packaging machines.
