Segment cutter for potatoes and carrots
In food processing, achieving precise and consistent cuts for vegetables like potatoes and carrots can be challenging, especially while trying to minimize feathering and breakage during production. Ensuring uniformity helps in maintaining product quality and improving downstream processing efficiency.
Cut potatoes and carrots into segments and strips
The Velocicut® Cutting Head by Urschel is designed to produce accurate segments, slabs, and strips from vegetables like potatoes and carrots. Its unique blade design significantly reduces feathering and ensures clean cuts, making it a reliable choice for processors. The cutting head can be used with the Urschel Model VSC Segment Cutter or integrated into existing water-propelled systems. Available in 3-inch (76.5 mm) and 4-inch (101.6 mm) sizes, the Velocicut® can handle various cut types such as square strips (.156” to 1.0”) and rectangular strips.
