Hi, I'm David Sebastianelli, Vice President of Sales and Marketing with the Edlund Company.
Today I want to introduce you to Edlund's new ARC fruit and vegetable slicer. There
are a lot of manual slicers that can do either hard products or soft products, but you'll
see today that the ARC's unique patent-pending design allows it to do all types of produce
- same machine. So that'll save time, space and money for the operator. So let's give
it a try. Let's start out with some hard products, like a potato. Potato can be easily loaded.
Your fingers, your hands do not have to come in contact with any razor blades, or anything
sharp. And you can see, that the ARC cuts right through the potato. Easily. You'll also
notice that the design of the ARC can accommodate up to a four-inch deep pan. Now, let's move
on to another product that's been traditionally difficult to slice - an onion. And you can
see the ARC does an excellent job on onions, also. So, we know it can do hard products. What about
soft products? No machine can do hard or soft products on the manual side. Let's take a
tomato and see how it does with a tomato. Very easy. It easily slices through the tomato.
You can imagine the labor savings, the time, and the efficiency, and also, you can see
that it produces a very nice product. So, other than the unique patent-pending design
that allows this machine to cut both hard and soft produce, what other unique properties
are associated with this product? Well, the ARC is designed to accommodate up to a four-inch
deep pan. It's fitted with four extra heavy-duty suction cups, which keep it in place securely
during operation. It's completely stainless steel. This can be put in a flight-type dish
machine, it can be put in a pot sink, or it could be sprayed and hosed down. There's three
different cartridge and blade sizes available: three-eighths, three-sixteenths, and a quarter-inch.
Even the blade cartridge can be taken out and cleaned, run through a dishwasher, but
of course, we want you to be safe. So Edlund provides a wash guard that fits over the top
of the blades. It has a captured thumbscrew, and after a couple of twists, the blade cartridge
can easily be removed, put in a dish machine. Of course that's not the sharp side. This
product is innovation redefined. And this product was designed, developed and manufactured
at Edlund's offices and factory in Burlington, Vermont.
