Industrial food dicer for high-fat and cold-temperature products
Achieve precise and consistent cutting with a high-capacity dicer designed for seamless integration into your food processing line, ensuring efficient handling of delicate to high-fat products across diverse food categories.
Processes and Cuts Cheese, Meat, and Produce
The Affinity® Dicer series from Urschel Laboratories offers precision cutting machines designed for challenging food processing tasks. Ideal for dairy, meat, and produce industries, these dicers excel in processing high-fat, cold-temperature, and difficult-to-handle products. Utilizing adjustable slicers and circular knives, they deliver precise 2- or 3-dimensional cuts, producing Swiss cheese cubes, ham dices, salami strips, and more, all while maintaining continuous, high-speed operation. Urschel’s dicers ensure superior sanitation with a design that separates the food and mechanical zones, featuring a rounded tube frame for effective washdowns, limiting microbial growth. With a capacity for products up to 10 inches and robust automation capabilities, including optional outboard bearing supports for heavy-duty applications, these machines integrate seamlessly into your production line. Crafted in stainless steel, they meet U.S.D.A. Dairy Division standards, making them ideal for facilities under rigorous inspection. Maintenance is straightforward with hinged panels for easy access, ensuring minimal downtime. Custom configurations are available to match specific production needs, supported by Urschel’s engineering expertise.
