THE URSCHEL MODEL CC POTATO
CHIP SLICER CONTINUES TO BE THE  GLOBAL INDUSTRY STANDARD.

Consumers purchase goods manufactured on Urschel cutting equipment on a daily basis – from canned soups and vegetables to ingredients in frozen and ready meals, fresh-cut bags of lettuce, bags of potato chips, pet foods, sauces, condiments, nut milks, baby foods, nut butters, tiny dices of fruits in yogurts, candy granulations in ice cream, and much more. All types of ingredients need to be reduced to become consumer goods, and that is at the core of Urschel’s success – working with processors through different challenges to assist them in creating better products. Urschel Engineering has pioneered cutting methods and hundreds of patents related to cutting technology.
