Yasaki Automatic Deli Slicer Ams320B-Automatic AMS320B-AUTOMATIC

The Yasaki AMS320B-AUTOMATIC is an automatic deli slicer with a 320 mm blade running 42 cuts a minute across a slicing range of 0 to 18 mm. It is rated for frozen meat, with a stated throughput of 30 kg an hour. Two 370 W motors — one for the blade, one for the carriage — run from a single 10 A outlet, and drive is by gear rather than belt.

Why operators choose the AMS320B-AUTOMATIC

• Automatic carriage, not hand-fed — 42 cuts a minute happen without an operator standing at the machine, which is the whole reason to buy an automatic slicer over a manual one
• Rated for frozen meat — the capability that decides it for a butcher or smallgoods operation - many slicers in this class are not
• 30 kg an hour, with the conditions stated — that figure is for a 90 mm diameter frozen meat roll at 1 mm thickness, one roll at a time - real numbers with real conditions rather than a bare claim
• 320 mm blade with a 0 to 18 mm range — thin enough for prosciutto and thick enough for steak-cut portions on one machine
• Gear drive — no belt to stretch or slip, which is the usual wear point and the usual service call
• Blade cover and carrier both have security protection on assembly and disassembly — the two moments a slicer is genuinely dangerous are guarded, not left to procedure
• Polished and anodised surface with no sharp edges or corners — designed to be cleaned quickly and without cutting the person cleaning it
• Metal on/off switch — a switch that survives being hit with wet hands a hundred times a day
• CE certified — independent compliance on the electrical build

Specifications

Venue suitability

The AMS320B suits butchers, smallgoods producers, delis and production kitchens portioning frozen meat in volume, where an automatic carriage frees an operator for other work. At 820 mm wide and 85 kg it needs a dedicated bench position.

Installation & delivery

It runs from a standard 10 A power point, so no electrical work is required. Two motors totalling 740 W still sit comfortably inside a 10 A circuit. At 85 kg it is a two-person lift onto the bench. Allow clearance to the left of the machine for the carriage travel and in front for the operator and the catch tray.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Can the AMS320B slice frozen meat?

Yes - it is specified as suitable for frozen meat. The 30 kg per hour throughput figure is quoted for a 90 mm diameter frozen meat roll sliced at 1 mm thickness, one roll at a time, so use that as your basis for comparison rather than a general claim.

Q: What does automatic mean on a slicer?

The carriage drives itself rather than being pushed by hand, at 42 cuts a minute. An operator loads it and can then do something else, which is where the labour saving comes from.

Q: What thickness range does it cut?

Zero to 18 mm, so it covers everything from very thin charcuterie to thick portion cuts.

Q: What is the machine's casing made from?

Our two sources disagree, so we are not stating it. The product description says aluminium-magnesium cast alloy, polished and anodised, while the structured material field says stainless steel. Contact our team if the casing material matters to your application.

Q: Does it need a dedicated circuit?

No. The two motors total 740 W, which runs from a standard 10 A power point.

Q: What warranty does the AMS320B-AUTOMATIC come with?

Covered for 2 years on parts and labour. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
