Which Biltong Slicer Is Best For You? from Feroz Ali's blog

Biltong is a delectable treat that is enjoyed by many people. It is especially enjoyed at braais and sports gatherings. For this reason, the butchery needs to ensure that the biltong is ready and quickly sliced for your customers to enjoy. There are four Biltong Slicers that offer convenience but which one is best for you?

Butcherquip Biltong Slicer. This biltong slicer weighs 14 kilograms and has a speed of 1440 RPM, so it is electrically operated. To reduce vibrations during use, the cutting discs have been dynamically balanced with the blade. It is easy to clean via the hinged door that allows easy access into the unit. It is designed with hooks that hold the packet in position while slicing. This biltong equipment can be either bolted to a table or to a stand.

Biltong Slicer - Hand Chunk Slicer. This unit is manually operated with a wooden handle that rotates the blade as you turn it. You place the biltong in the slot provided Biltong then turn the handle to slice the biltong into smaller chunks. If you prefer chunks of biltong instead of slices then is a good option for you.

Aluminum Biltong Slicer - Hand Operated. Another manually operated unit that is affordable and easy to use. With a rotating blade operation, it slices the biltong easily with the sharp circular blade. This is more suited for smaller butcheries, biltong shops or for home use.

Biltong Cutter Manual. This hand operated biltong cutter literally chops the biltong with a cleaver style motion.

Which slicer is best for you will depend on how often you will use it.
