Hobart HS9-1 Full Featured Automatic Slicer
The Hobart HS9 / HS9N Automatic Heavy-Duty Slicer is Hobart's flagship automatic slicer built for the highest-volume commercial and institutional foodservice operations — K-12 cafeterias, healthcare foodservice, correctional kitchens, delis, and full-service restaurants that need consistent, precision slicing of meats and cheeses through peak service. A 13" CleanCut™ knife with a cobalt alloy Stellite edge lasts two to three times longer than carbon-coated or stainless steel knives, and a 1/2 HP knife drive motor paired with a Hobart Poly V-Belt runs the blade at 430 RPM for shred-free cuts even through firm cheese and dense proteins. The HS9 offers a patented removable knife option for tool-free cleaning and sanitation; the HS9N provides a non-removable knife configuration for operations that prefer a fixed blade.
A variable 4-speed automatic product carriage with three stroke lengths handles a wide range of products — from small block cheese to full-size deli meats — with front-mounted controls that let operators dial in the right speed and stroke without leaving the slicing station. A double-action indexing cam gives precise control of shaving, chipping, and thin slicing in the first knob revolution, then opens the gauge plate quickly for thicker slices up to 1" in the second revolution. The carriage accepts product up to 5.75" x 10.75" rectangular or 7.5" in diameter, and both the carriage and meat grip assembly are removable for open-loading and dishwasher-safe cleaning. Machined grooves on the gauge plate and knife cover reduce drag for smooth product feeding shift after shift.
Six safety interlocks protect operators throughout the slicing and cleaning process — no-volt release, gauge plate interlock, 30-second auto shut-off, close-to-stop, home-to-start, and carriage system interlock — while zero knife exposure during sharpening and cleaning delivers peace of mind on busy service lines. A top-mounted Borazon® sharpening system hones the blade in five seconds with a single action, removes for warewasher cleaning, and is backed by a lifetime guarantee on the Borazon stones. The sanitary one-piece anodized aluminum base limits crevices where bacteria can accumulate, a lift-assist mechanism makes it easy to clean underneath the unit, and a magnetically secured knife cover pulls straight off with no loose or moving parts. Available in 120V standard and 220-240V high-voltage configurations, NSF rated, and backed by one year of full parts and service coverage including the knife.
