GROTE RELEASES NEW HS SERIES PRODUCT STABILIZING SYSTEM™
  HS-640/8 Series


The Product Stabilizing System

We are excited to announce the release of our most recent enhancement to the Grote HS-Series family of slicers: the Product Stabilizing System (PSS). Designed specifically for the pre-cooked bacon industry, the Grote Product Stabilizing System mechanically compensates for variations in bacon belly sizing. The positive gripping action provided by this new patent-pending system keeps bacon bellies stable during the slicing stroke, while releasing to allow for gravity feed during the return stroke.

This unique system allows bacon processors to achieve significant reduction in yield losses and product giveaway normally associated with loose fitting bacon bellies. 

In terms of a return on investment, this system could pay for itself in a matter of months.


  • Lab tests have produced nominal yield improvements of no less than .001" per slice on pressed bacon bellies, resulting in a yield increase of 2-3 additional slices per belly and 1-2 additional usable slices through each belly transition.


  • All mechanical system; no modifications to electrical controls or power supplies required.


  • No restrictions to standard operating speeds.


  • Available as an option on all new Grote High Speed Slicers and as a field modification kit on most existing High Speed Slicers currently in service.


  • No additional time required to change-out product holders.


  • Easy to clean.
