It takes a larger product, strokes 11\" instead of 9.25\", weighs 67.9 lbs. and is rated light to medium duty at up to four hours a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy the slower blade is the better blade\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStepping up from the 4612 doubles the motor and \u003cem\u003ereduces\u003c\/em\u003e blade speed from 420 to 345 rpm, which looks like a downgrade and is the opposite. A bigger motor turning more slowly holds its speed under load instead of bogging, and a blade that does not slow down in the cut leaves a cleaner face. On soft product the difference is cosmetic; on a dense cured sausage or a block of cheese it is the difference between slices and shards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnivex also fits what it calls a low-friction blade as standard on this model. Less drag through the product is less heat at the edge, and on cheese that is the whole game — a hot blade smears, and smeared cheese sticks to everything downstream of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMore room on the carriage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe product capacity is the other real gain: 9.25\" × 7.5\" rectangular against the Economy model’s 8\" × 5\", and a 7.5\" square against 5\". That is the difference between trimming a product to fit and loading it as it arrives. A 3-1\/2 lb gravity-fed grip keeps constant pressure on the face without the operator leaning on it, and the carriage and feed grip come apart quickly for the sink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Operators Choose It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble the motor of the Economy model.\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2 hp through a belt drive, at a deliberately slower 345 rpm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-friction blade as standard.\u003c\/strong\u003e Univex fits it to this model rather than selling it as an upgrade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTakes a bigger product.\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.25\" × 7.5\" rectangular, 7.5\" square, 8\" round.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLonger stroke.\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\" (27.94 cm) of carriage travel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStainless vegetable chute.\u003c\/strong\u003e Listed in the features on the Univex sheet, not as an accessory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour hours a day.\u003c\/strong\u003e Light to medium duty — double the 4612’s published allowance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOn-site warranty.\u003c\/strong\u003e One year, parts and labour, at your site.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThickness adjustment from zero to 1\/2\", an attached blade sharpener, and a 3-1\/2 lb gravity-fed grip that holds the face without the operator pressing on it.

Three further numbers appear beside the line drawing with no indication of which is height, width or depth, so the machine’s own footprint is genuinely unpublished and we will not guess at the axis order. Also absent across the range: cord length, whether the blade itself is removable, any carriage or cover interlock, no-volt release, and any country of manufacture. Univex claims disassembly for cleaning rather than cleaning in place, which is the opposite claim and the one we have repeated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOne conflict inside Univex’s own material\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 6612M specification sheet and the comparison table in Univex’s brochure both rate this machine at four hours a day.
