Sickle Blade Slicing Discs for XL-C & XL-C Star
Sickle blade discs use a long, curved knife that slices with an extended drawing motion, making them the go-to choice for soft, delicate or leafy produce. Where a straight blade can bruise or tear, the sickle blade glides through mushrooms, leeks, lettuce, onions and soft fruit for clean, uniform slices. This listing covers the 3 options available in the 9 1/2" (240 mm) size, made for the Brunner-Anliker XL-C and Brunner-Anliker XL-C Star.
Swiss-Made Precision Blades
Every knife is manufactured in Brunner-Anliker's own knife factory in Switzerland and sharpened by hand, and grating plates are individually punched, stamped and sharpened. Thanks to this process, the blades deliver an average service life of around 5 years. Combined with the brand's drawing cut, which slices with a pulling motion instead of crushing, produce keeps more moisture and nutrients and stays fresh longer after prep.
What You Can Prep
Chefs use sickle blade discs for sliced mushrooms, leeks and green onions, shredded lettuce and cabbage, bananas, strawberries and other soft fruit. The clean cut keeps cell walls intact, so produce weeps less liquid and holds its colour and texture longer on the line and in storage.
Made for the XL-C & XL-C Star
These 9 1/2" discs fit the Brunner-Anliker XL-C and Brunner-Anliker XL-C Star vegetable slicers, which are popular with hospitals, universities, commissaries, banquet kitchens and food production facilities. Discs lock onto the drive shaft in seconds, so staff can switch between cuts during a single prep session without tools. Each disc runs true at the machine's working speed, giving the same thickness from the first piece of produce to the last.
Easy Cleaning and Storage
The disc bodies are made of a dishwasher-safe, antimicrobial fibreglass composite, so cleanup is as simple as rinsing and loading the dishwasher. Brunner-Anliker disc holders and storage cases keep blades protected, organized and ready for the next service. Check blades regularly and replace worn knife sets when needed to keep every cut crisp and consistent.
