Hobart 2712 Automatic Meat Slicer – 12"

This is a Hobart 2712 automatic meat slicer pulled directly from a working commercial kitchen environment and tested to verify it operates as intended. The unit powers on, the carriage cycles, and the knife runs smoothly; please see the attached video to watch it running.

The 2712 features a 12" CleanCut stainless steel/super alloy knife designed for long life and excellent slice quality. It includes Hobart’s Microban antimicrobial product protection in external plastic components to help keep surfaces cleaner between cleanings by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, mold, mildew, and fungi. A built‑in, top‑mounted Borazon stone sharpener lets you sharpen and hone the blade in about five seconds and is removable for easy cleaning.

This slicer has a two‑speed automatic carriage with front‑mounted controls, so you can choose low speed (36 strokes per minute) or high speed (52 strokes per minute) for productivity, or switch to manual operation when needed. The tilting, removable stainless steel carriage and burnished one‑piece aluminum base make cleaning and sanitation faster and more effective, with fewer crevices for food to lodge. A permanently mounted ring guard and heavy‑gauge stainless steel knife cover provide added safety during use and cleaning.

Power comes from a 1/2 HP knife drive motor running the Poly V‑belt system at approximately 400 rpm for consistent slicing performance. The carriage will handle product up to 12" wide or 7.5" in diameter, and the gauge plate adjusts from paper‑thin up to 1" thick slices. Overall weight is approximately 140 lb net (about 182 lb shipping weight).

Because this is a used commercial slicer, expect normal cosmetic wear from regular use, such as scuffs, scratches, and finish wear, but nothing that affects functionality. The buyer is responsible for any required cleaning, sanitizing, and installation in accordance with local codes and food safety practices.
