TranSlicer® 2520 Cutter

Key Features

Applications

Building on the original TranSlicer that revolutionized the commercial, fresh-cut salad industry, Urschel introduces the new TranSlicer 2520 Cutter. The TranSlicer 2520 processes a variety of products for the commercial food processing industry such as leafy vegetables, celery, leek, carrots, cucumbers, and fruits.

The TranSlicer 2520 implements many of the features of the TranSlicer 2510 Cutter: 25″ (635 mm) diameter interchangeable stainless steel cutting wheels; sanitary, stainless steel design; types of cut; accepts infeed of compressible food products up to 8″ (203 mm) in diameter, or firm products up to 6-3/4″ (171 mm) in diameter; and operates continuously to achieve high capacities with uninterrupted production. The number, placement, degree of pitch, and type of knives coordinate with the cutting wheel and feed belt speed to determine the size of the cut.

To accommodate different types of products, the machine offers a choice between three feed belt configurations: primary and secondary belts, full length primary belts, or the more compact machine version featuring shorter primary belts. The machine operates via a variable frequency drive (VFD). The feed zone is completely separate from the mechanical zone to promote sanitation.

The overall design of the 2520 sets itself apart. The concept encompasses the next generation of sanitation to greatly reduce cleaning times. Accessibility to every area of the machine expedites washdowns. All surfaces are engineered to promote water drainage. Stand-offs located throughout minimize overlapping joints and improve inspection and decrease cleaning times. IP69K rated IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) electrical components incorporated throughout the machine withstand high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. Rely on the TranSlicer 2520 to provide optimal, high capacity cutting with cost-savings related to reduced cleaning and inspection times.
