Edlund EDV-12 Pro Series 12" Heavy-Duty Electric Meat & Deli Slicer
Edlund EDV-12 — All-Day Meat & Deli Slicer
The Edlund EDV-12 is a 12″ heavy-duty Pro Series electric slicer built for foodservice operations that demand all-day slicing without slowdowns. With a ½ HP motor delivering up to 30% more power than competing slicers in its class, the EDV-12 glides through the toughest cured meats and hard cheeses from open to close — without bogging down.
Engineered at Edlund’s Burlington, Vermont facility, the built-in dual-stone sharpener keeps the 12″ forged carbon-steel blade at peak sharpness between uses, while sealed housing and a fully removable carriage make end-of-shift sanitation fast and code-compliant.
Built to Perform All Day
Every detail of the EDV-12 targets two goals: maximum throughput and minimal downtime.
30% More Power
The ½ HP continuous-rated motor outperforms every other slicer in the 12″ class — no hesitation on hard cheese, cured meats, or thick-cut roasts.
Built-In Dual-Stone Sharpener
Two integrated sharpening stones restore blade edge in seconds, on the machine — no tools, no downtime, no sending the blade out.
Serrated Blade Option
Supports an optional serrated blade for breads, tomatoes, and soft deli items that slip on a standard straight edge.
Triple Safety System
Blade cover release with safety micro switch, Tritan™ clear hand guard, and a low-voltage release that shuts the unit off instantly during any power interruption.
Sealed Housing
Moisture-resistant sealed housing protects the drive mechanism from wash-down spray and daily kitchen spills, extending equipment life.
Easy-Clean Design
Removable carriage locks in zero-blade-exposure position, removable slice deflector, and wide blade-to-housing gap for thorough end-of-shift cleaning.
Optional Food Chute Available: Upgrade with the stainless-steel Food Chute add-on to slice multiple vegetables, fruits, or meats in a single pass — increasing food yields and reducing labor on high-volume prep lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the EDV-12 and EDV-12C?
The EDV-12 is the 12″ Heavy-Duty model (½ HP, all-day capacity for both meat and cheese, product code 31300). The EDV-12C is the 12″ Medium-Duty model (1/3 HP, rated for 2.5 hrs cheese / 5 hrs meat per session, product code 31200). Choose the EDV-12 for continuous production environments.
Can the EDV-12 run continuously all day?
Yes. Edlund rates the EDV-12 for all-day slicing of both meat and cheese with no scheduled rest periods, unlike the lighter EDV-12C. The ½ HP motor is continuously rated for heavy-duty commercial use.
What voltage does the EDV-12 require?
The EDV-12 runs on standard 115V / 60 Hz / single-phase power — no special wiring required. It plugs into a standard commercial 15A or 20A receptacle.
Is a serrated blade available?
Yes — the EDV-12 supports an optional serrated blade, ideal for breads, tomatoes, and soft items. The EDV-9C and EDV-10C models do not support serrated blades.
How is the EDV-12 cleaned?
The carriage removes completely and locks in a zero-blade-exposure position for safe cleaning. The removable slice deflector and wide gap between blade and housing make thorough sanitation straightforward. Sealed housing protects internal components during wash-down.
