Applications
The new Affinity® CD-L Dicer produces uniform dices in the small to intermediate size range. The CD-L combines the utility of Urschel Models CD-A and L-A, plus working design elements from the Affinity Integra® Dicer. Processors replacing Model L-A’s with the CD-L achieved more than twice the capacity.
Sanitary in design, the food zone is completely separated from the mechanical zone. Hinged access panels ease maintenance and washdowns, and offer full access to conveniently changeover parts. Feed spindle, feed drum, and 5 HP (3.7 kW) motor work effectively with the cutting components in the successful processing of dried fruits and other products. Optional integrated oil spray system lubricates circular knives to assist in the processing of sticky products. Equipped with stainless steel product contact parts, the dicer offers simple operation at the push of a button and may be operated at high or low speed depending on processing goals. The dicer features continuous operation and is designed for easy cleanup and maintenance. Maximum infeed product should not exceed 1/2″ (12.7 mm) depending on the compressibility of the product.
