Globe C-Series Slicers Shave Costs & Labor

Globe is a company well known for its slicers, a line of equipment that snagged Foodservice Equipment and Supplies Magazine's Best in Class award in 2014, 2015, and 2017. This broad line offers solutions for any business, from supermarkets that need to slice meat and cheese for hours a day to mom-and-pop eateries that serve a few sandwiches at lunch time. It was the latter segment of small, family-owned eateries the folks at Globe had in mind when they introduced the Chefmate line of commercial slicers.

These manual slicers offer the quality Globe is known for in a compact, light- to medium-duty package. C-series slicers are economy models that can handle an hour of slicing a day and are suitable for slicing meat only. GC-series models can operate for as long as six hours per day and are suitable for slicing both meat and cheese products. Having one of these units gives you the ability to add a Monte Cristo, cheesesteak, or Reuben to your menu and supplement your cafe fare with handcrafted sandwiches made with freshly sliced meats and vegetables.

The Series

Globe Chefmate slicers are economical alternatives to heavy-duty slicers for low-volume needs. Each lightweight, space-saving C-series model offers several features that will provide considerable bang for your buck:

  • Anodized aluminum finish is durable and easy to clean.
  • Special alloy knife is hard-chromed and hollow ground for improved edge retention and corrosion resistance.
  • Top-mounted knife sharpener uses dual stones to keep blade sharp.
  • Oversized posi-trac grooved belt drive design for improved energy transfer.
  • Encased controls are protected from debris and moisture.
  • Fan-cooled motor with permanently lubricated ball bearings for minimal maintenance.
  • Overload protection and manual reset prevent motor from overheating.
  • Angled feed chute takes advantage of gravity to pull food through the slicer, reducing resistance and making the slicer safe and comfortable to use.
  • Stainless steel ball bearing chute slide.
  • Sealed splash zone keeps electronics protected and sanitary.
  • Metal bottom enclosure helps keep the unit's bottom free of food and dust.
  • Rubber feet help keep the unit from slipping during operation.
  • *The GC-series medium-duty, 12-inch slicer also includes a knife cover interlock and permanently attached knife guard ring for improved operator safety.

Sanitation Considerations

Sanitation should be the top priority when taking care of any slicer, and Globe has designed Chefmate Series slicing equipment for easy cleaning. Each slicer's chute, slice deflector, knife cover, and sharpener are removable, enabling those components to be thoroughly cleaned. The bottoms are enclosed to prevent food and other debris from contaminating vital components, while the knobs and buttons prevent food from settling underneath. These features help prevent bacteria and other foodborne pathogens from taking up residence in nooks and crannies on the equipment.

Optional Accessories

Consider purchasing these accessories along with your Globe E-Series slicer to keep your equipment running smoothly and safely.

  • Cut-resistant gloves are critical for keeping users' fingers and hands safe while they use and clean the slicer.
  • Food-grade lubricants help keep the machine running smoothly.
  • When the machine is not in use, additional options such as a slicer cover will keep grease and grime from gumming up the works.
  • Small service brushes assist users in thoroughly cleaning all the unit's componentry.
  • Commercial food bags can be used to package sliced meats and sandwiches, keeping them fresh and sanitary until they're purchased.
