Call Hitachi America Ltd. at 800/HITACHI. www.hitachi-america.us

Sift ingredients more easily

  • Sifting dry ingredients just got easier with the RS-1 portable reclaim sifter. A variable force motor, counterweights and oversized rubber dampeners result in quiet operation.

Slice more product with wider conveyor
