Frequently asked questions
What outlet and circuit does the Skyfood SKEX need?
The SKEX needs a NEMA 5-20R receptacle on a 20 A, 115 V single-phase circuit. It draws 14 A and has a NEMA 5-20P plug, which will not fit a standard 15 A outlet.
Will the SKEX fit through a standard doorway?
Yes. The saw is 34" deep and 32-3/4" wide, so it fits through a 36" doorway. At 67-1/4" tall, it also clears an 80" door opening.
How large a cut can the SKEX make?
The SKEX cuts pieces up to 10" high and 9-3/8" wide. That covers most primal and subprimal cuts, bone-in chops and steaks in a small to medium butcher shop. The adjustable blade guides drop down so only the part of the blade in use is exposed.
What blade does the SKEX use?
The SKEX takes a 99" long, 5/8" wide band blade with 4 teeth per inch. The Skyfood replacement is part number SB99584TPI.
What certifications does the SKEX have?
The SKEX is listed to cETLus and ETL Sanitation, and it conforms to UL 763, NSF 8 and CSA C22.2 No. 195. These cover electrical safety for commercial food machines in the US and Canada, plus sanitary design for food contact. That is what health inspectors look for in a commercial kitchen.
What warranty comes with the SKEX?
Skyfood covers the SKEX with a 1 year parts and labor warranty.
How does the SKEX compare with other Skyfood meat saws?
The SKEX is the 1 HP floor model with a 99" blade that runs on 115 V. The MSKE is a smaller tabletop saw with a 74" blade and a 1/2 HP motor. The SKGE is a larger floor model with a 124" blade and a 2 HP motor that runs on 230 V.
How is it delivered?
It ships on a pallet by freight truck. A lift gate fee applies to large items like this one if you don't have a loading dock and is calculated at checkout.
