• Centrifugal force holds product against inside of slice case as impeller blades carry product past slicing knife.
  
  
• Distance between adjustable case gate and slicing knife determines slice thickness.
  
  
• Slicing case has a corrugated inner surface capable of producing crinkle-cut slices.
