The latest addition to the Berkel Volano family, it is also the most compact slicer of the modern era. Despite a 265mm diameter blade, clearly superior to the category, the new Volano B2 has super compact dimensions that allow easy positioning in the kitchen. The flywheel protrudes below the feet by just 33mm, allowing the drawers underneath the worktop to be opened; the usual attention to detail of Berkel products in this case makes even more of a difference. Harmonious and well-proportioned, it retains all the distinctive elegance of our Volano while providing the perfect cut, long sought after by our founder Wilhelmus van Berkel.
