View the Latest in Urschel Cutting Technology at Snackex

Visit Urschel at Snackex Stand #411 to see the latest in food cutting technology. Explore the production-proven MicroAdjustable® series of potato slicing heads. 

For use on the Model CC Slicer, the best-selling potato slicer in the world, MicroAdjustable Slicing Heads (SL-14) feature 14 cutting stations that maximize slice engagement. 

14 cutting stations replace the standard 8 to deliver increased capacity. Switching over to the SL-14 from the standard 8-station head requires no special adapters. 

The SL-14 slicing design concept does not incorporate shims or shoes and offers tool-free knife changeovers. Weighing in at only 35 lb (16 kg) with built-in lifting handles, the SL-14 is adeptly removed and replaced. 

This development allows processors the ability to increase productivity without the expense of purchasing an additional slicer. Amplify your production with this innovation from Urschel. 

Urschel will also display the E TranSlicer® Cutter and the Comitrol® Processor Model 3600. Engineered to produce continuous precision slices with extensive detail given to key elements throughout the machine, the efficient E TranSlicer® Cutter (METRS) represents the smallest footprint in the production-proven TranSlicer Series. 

The E TranSlicer is also available in a bias slice configuration – the new E TranSlicer Bias Cutter (METRSB) version produces crinkle or flat slices at a 35- or 45-degree angle to capture niche markets. This new version is designed for hand-fed, batch processing (running at 30 Hz). A retrofit kit is also available for existing E TranSlicer processors wanting to switch between regular and bias slicing options. 

The E TranSlicer uses interchangeable 20" (508 mm) diameter cutting wheels (MicroSlice®, slicing, shredding, and julienne) to produce a full range of cuts at high capacities. The machine accepts firm infeed products up to 4" (102 mm) and compressible products up to 6" (152 mm). 

Hinged and sliding panels enable full access to all key areas of the machine. Included in the sanitary design are sloped washdown surfaces, and mechanical components in a completely separate zone than the food zone. 

Options include across-the-line or variable frequency drive 3 HP (2.2 kW) motor, fold-away product prep table, and remote operator stop button. The machine features continuous operation for uninterrupted production. 

The Comitrol® Processor Model 3600 is a versatile milling machine with a unique particle size reduction operating principle. The unit is ideally suited for difficult bakery and snack food rework applications in which the product has a cream, fruit, or jelly-filled component. 

Using the principle of incremental shear, the Comitrol Processor actually cuts the product into precise increments. The unit is simple to operate, takes up minimal floor space, and performs in both pilot plants and full-scale production lines.
