A 319mm blade, the biggest Berkel makes in production, gives a 215mm cutting capacity (280 x 215mm rectangular), and every machine carries the flower flywheel with the Van Berkel International Milano inscription on the rim and an NFC authenticity tag cast into the body.

The flywheel mechanism is beautifully simple, with fewer parts than a motor, easy to maintain and built to last decades. Berkel flywheels from the early 1900s are still slicing today, and the B114 is the fullest expression of that engineering in the current range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eHow does the B114 compare with the Tribute?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B114 is the flagship of the classic range, with the largest 319mm blade, a 215mm cutting capacity, the Van Berkel International Milano flywheel rim and an NFC authenticity tag cast into the body.

Scanning it with a smartphone links to Berkel's certificate of authenticity for that specific machine, confirming it is a genuine Berkel and giving you a permanent record of the piece you own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat can the B114 slice, and what does the 100Cr6 blade spec mean?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B114 accepts products up to 215mm in diameter or 280 x 215mm rectangular, covering whole cured meats, large joints and hard cheeses. The blade is 100Cr6 chrome steel, a high-carbon alloy used in precision cutting tools that takes a fine edge, holds it through repeated use, and resists corrosion from food contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDoes the B114 come with a stand?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B114 slices on any solid worktop as it comes.
