High-precision dicer for challenging food applications
Designed to handle challenging cutting tasks, this high-efficiency dicer excels in producing consistent, precise cuts, enhancing throughput for producers dealing with sticky or temperature-sensitive ingredients.
Processes Challenging Foods with Precision Cutting
The Affinity Integra® Dicer from Urschel Laboratories is a robust solution designed to tackle the toughest food processing challenges. This dicer excels in precision cutting for applications such as cheese, soft meats, and cold temperature products, producing high yields of targeted cut sizes. Utilizing a sophisticated feed spindle and drum mechanism, it ensures controlled cutting of sticky and moisture-rich products. The machine seamlessly integrates into existing production lines by replacing Model RA series machines, offering a potential increase in capacity between 20% to 50%. Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, it emphasizes sanitation with a fully separate food zone and easy-to-clean hinged panels. Designed for continuous, high-speed operation, the dicer features a soft-start function to extend drive train life and includes optional outboard bearing support for heavy-duty applications like dicing frozen-tempered bacon. Its NEMA 4X IP66-rated electrical enclosure provides robust protection from water and environmental conditions. With Urschel’s engineering support, you can tailor the Affinity Integra® to meet specific production requirements, ensuring efficiency and reliability across diverse food processing tasks.
