Urschel QuantiCut Dicer/Slicer/Strip Cutter; Model Q

The Urschel QuantiCut Dicer/Slicer/Strip Cutter uniformly dices, strip cuts, and slices a wide variety of food products at high production capacities including potatoes, carrots, turnips, rutabagas, celery, pineapple, peppers, and a variety of other products. Further engineering innovations have simplified the changing of spindles and other parts. Maximum product input size is 10" (254 mm) in any dimension. The machine features continuous operation for uninterrupted production and simplified designed for easy cleanup and maintenance.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE:

Product is delivered to a feed hopper, then enters a rotating impeller. Centrifugal force holds the product against the inside of the case as the impeller blades carry the product past the slicing knife. An adjustable case gate at the top of the case allows the product to move outward across the edge of the slicing knife. The distance between the edge of the slice gate and the slicing knife edge determines the slice thickness. As the slices emerge, they enter the circular knives and are guided between the slicing knife and an adjustable stripper plate where they are cut into strips. The strips pass directly into the crosscut knives

which make the final cut.

1. SLICES: By removing the crosscut spindle, the circular knife spindle and the stripper plate, the machine can make slices thru the full range of slice thicknesses (optional discharge chute may be required).
2. STRIP CUTS: Strip cuts in a variety of widths can be made by removing either the crosscut knife spindle or the circular knife spindle assembly.
3. DICES: A slicing knife, circular knife spindle, and crosscut knife spindle are used for dicing. Changing the size of the cubes is done by using the required cutting spindles and adjusting the slice thickness.

The unit currently is set up with 7 blades crosscut (3/4"), and 12 blade Circular (1"). The motor is 7.5HP, 460V, 3 phase. FOB Lake City, PA. Unit will be tested and in good operating condition.
