Expert machine servicing since 1979
Nationwide engineers. Genuine parts. Minimal downtime.
Keeping Your Business Running
A machine breakdown costs more than a repair bill. It costs you production time, product quality, and customer trust. SMS Food has provided servicing and repair expertise to UK food businesses for over four decades. Our engineers work on slicers, mincers, bandsaws, vacuum packers, sausage fillers, tray sealers, and more — across every major brand.
Whether you need a scheduled annual service or an urgent same-day repair, we respond fast and fix it right the first time. Every repair uses genuine manufacturer parts, so your machine performs exactly as it should.
What We Offer
Scheduled Servicing
Planned maintenance at intervals that suit your operation. We inspect, clean, calibrate, and replace worn components before they fail. Ideal for high-volume environments where downtime is not an option.
Emergency Repairs
Machine down mid-service? Our engineers respond rapidly to get you back in production. We carry common parts on-van to resolve most faults in a single visit, minimising your lost hours.
Genuine Parts Supply
We stock blades, seals, sharpening stones, Teflon tape, belts, motors, and hundreds more parts for Berkel, Henkelman, ABM, Mainca, PSV, Talsa, and Torrey machines. Correct part, proper fit, less interruption.
Preventative Maintenance
The cheapest repair is the one you never need. We advise on daily care routines, inspection schedules, and component replacement intervals tailored to your specific machines and workload.
Berkel Specialist
As the sole UK Berkel distributor, nobody knows these machines better. From vintage flywheel slicers to the latest Pro Line models, we service, restore, and supply parts for every Berkel ever made.
Multi-Brand Expertise
Our engineers are trained across all major food machinery brands. Whether you run a mixed fleet or a single-brand kitchen, we have the knowledge and parts to keep everything operational.
Machines We Service
From countertop slicers to floor-standing bandsaws, our engineers handle it all.
How It Works
Get in Touch
Call us or fill out our contact form. Describe the issue or let us know you need a routine service. We will confirm availability and arrange a date.
Engineer Visit
A qualified engineer arrives with tools and common parts. They diagnose the fault, explain what is needed, and carry out the work on-site wherever possible.
Back in Production
Your machine is tested, signed off, and ready to run. We provide a written report and recommend any follow-up actions to prevent future issues.
Preventative Maintenance Tips
The most expensive repair is the one that could have been avoided. Follow these principles to extend the life of your equipment and reduce emergency call-outs.
Daily Cleaning
Remove all food residue after every shift. Never use pressure washers on electrical equipment. Hand-wash with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly before reassembly.
Weekly Inspections
Check blades, belts, gaskets, and moving parts for wear. Tighten loose hardware. Monitor pump oil clarity on vacuum packers. Catch problems while they are still cheap to fix.
Correct Operation
Always use chilled product (never frozen unless using a bandsaw). Do not overload mincers. Match vacuum and seal settings to your product type. Respect duty cycles.
Scheduled Servicing
Arrange professional servicing at least twice a year for high-use machines. An engineer will catch internal wear that daily cleaning cannot reveal.
Brands We Service
