Dito Sama Vegetable Slicer Single Phase Single Speed 500W TRS-500

The Dito Sama TRS-500 is a single-phase continuous-feed vegetable slicer rated at up to 550 kg an hour — enough for 100 to 400 table-service meals, or up to 800 in catering. It runs a single 340 rpm speed chosen for precise cutting rather than raw speed, with a pulse function for controlled work. Every food-contact part comes off without tools and is dishwasher safe, and the electrical controls are IP55 rated.

Why operators choose the TRS-500

• Up to 550 kg/hour — rated for 100-400 table-service meals or up to 800 in catering, so capacity can be matched to a real service plan
• 340 rpm single speed for precise cutting — a slower, controlled cut gives clean edges rather than bruised product — the reason a slicer is not simply geared for speed
• All food-contact parts remove without tools — the hopper, lever and cutting chamber come off and go in the dishwasher, which is what makes a full clean realistic every day
• IP55 electrical controls, IP23 overall — water-protected controls on a machine that gets washed down, which is where cheaper slicers fail
• Magnetic safety system with motor brake — the machine will not run with the lever open, and the brake stops the disc rather than letting it coast
• Two hoppers: 60 mm long-vegetable tube and a 215 cm2 round hopper — long product goes in whole, bulk product goes in by the handful
• Base inclined at 20 degrees — easier loading and unloading, and the discharge falls clear
• High discharge zone for deep GN containers — takes containers up to 20 cm deep, so you are not swapping a shallow tray mid-run

Specifications

Venue suitability

The TRS-500 suits restaurants, caterers, canteens, aged-care and institutional kitchens preparing vegetables daily. Its rating is expressed in meals rather than just kilograms, which makes it easy to size: up to 400 table-service covers, or 800 in a catering context.

Installation & delivery

It runs from a standard 240 V, 10 A outlet, so no dedicated circuit or electrician is needed. Allow 252 mm of bench width plus clearance for the hopper lever and space beneath the high discharge for a deep GN container. All food-contact parts come off without tools, so site it near the wash area. Blades and grids are available on request rather than supplied, so specify the cuts you need when ordering. Dispatched from our Sydney HQ with partner warehouses in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth for faster delivery Australia-wide. Backed by a 2-year return-to-base warranty — the unit is returned for service rather than attended on site. See our warranty information page for full terms.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Are blades included with the TRS-500? A: No. The 205mm blades and grids are available on request rather than supplied, so specify the cuts you need — slicing, grating, julienne, dicing or french fries — when you order.

Q: What output can it manage? A: Up to 550kg an hour, which Dito Sama rate as suitable for 100 to 400 table-service meals or up to 800 meals in a catering context.

Q: Why only one speed? A: 340 rpm is chosen for precise cutting. A faster disc bruises and tears product; the pulse function gives control where a set duration would not.

Q: How thoroughly can it be cleaned? A: All parts in contact with food remove without tools, and the stainless hopper, lever and cutting chamber are dishwasher safe. The electrical controls are IP55 rated, so wash-down does not threaten them.

Q: What stops it running while open? A: A magnetic safety system prevents operation when the lever swings away or is open, and a motor brake stops the disc rather than letting it coast down. It restarts automatically once the pusher is back in position.

Q: What warranty applies? A: Two years, return to base. The unit is returned for service rather than a technician attending on site.
