The Affinity CD-L Dicer from Urschel Laboratories is a versatile solution for food processors, designed to enhance efficiency in dicing, granulating, and slicing operations. Combining elements from Urschel’s CD-A and L-A models with the Affinity Integra Dicer’s design, it doubles the processing capacity of Model L-A units. Operating under a continuous, high-speed production mode, this dicer is ideal for creating uniform dices of dried fruits, nuts, and confectionery products. Equipped with a 5 HP motor, it features a sanitary design that separates the food zone from mechanical components, facilitating easy maintenance and washdowns. The optional integrated oil spray system optimizes the processing of sticky products. It supports a range of applications, from processing chocolate covered toffee bars to sugar infused cranberries. With simple push-button operation and easy cleanup features, the Affinity CD-L streamlines integration into existing production lines while maintaining product quality and operational efficiency.
