Applications
Engineered to produce continuous precision slices with extensive detail given to key elements throughout the machine, it joins the production-proven TranSlicer series in the Urschel line-up. The E TranSlicer is ideally suited for elongated vegetables, fruits, and cooked meats.
The E TranSlicer accepts firm products up to 4" (101.6 mm) in diameter and leafy-type, more compressible products up to 6" (152.4 mm) in diameter.
A variety of interchangeable stainless steel cutting wheels offers maximum versatility: slicing wheel, ¥patented MicroSlice® wheel, and ‡julienne wheel. The machine features continuous operation for uninterrupted production.
E TRANSLICER BIAS CUTTER - Batch Processing for Niche Markets
Newly developed parts transform the E TranSlicer Cutter from standard slicing to either 35- or 45-degree bias flat or crinkle slicing. Available when ordering a new machine, or as a retrofit kit for E TranSlicer machines in the field. Once retrofitted, switching over from straight to bias slicing is accomplished in as little as 10 minutes. Designed for hand-fed, batch processing (running at 30 Hz), and equipped with a MicroSlice or slicing wheel set-up. Accepts a maximum infeed product up to 2.5" (63.5 mm) in diameter.
Elements found throughout the design include:
- Stainless steel materials; machine size designed to fit easily into existing processing lines.
- Cutting wheel mount/holder assembly allows simple wheel changeovers.
- Hinged/sliding panels offer full access to all key areas of the machine and simplify maintenance and washdowns.
- Sloped surfaces throughout the machine including a self-draining frame ease cleaning
- Sanitary design with all mechanical components completely separate from the food zone.

- Available across-the-line start or variable frequency drive.
- Durable stainless steel guardlocks and sensors.
- Optional prep table to assist operators.
- Optional remote operator stop button.
- Hinged discharge chute features a polished internal slope, so cuts exit smoothly. Chute can be set-up to collect all product or to separate fines.

Dimensional Drawing
Operating Principle
E TranSlicer® Cutter
- Product is delivered onto two high speed feed belts [ 1 ] sloping together to form a "V” shaped feed trough.
- The belts are synchronized with the rotating slicing wheel [ 2 ] to ensure proper advance of product per revolution of the wheel.
- Knives [ 3 ] under tension serve as spokes and support the rim of the slicing wheel. The knives are slightly twisted to create a uniform pitch from the hub to the rim. Knife pitch serves to pull product through the slicing wheel and produce a precise slice thickness. Available hold-down assembly enables increased positive feeding if needed. One slice is made at a time which prevents any crushing of the product. The cut slices are then released into a sloped discharge chute to reduce their speed before exiting the machine.
Types of Cuts
Slicing Wheels
Flat & crinkle Slices: 1/32 to 3" (.8 to 76.2 mm) Crinkle slices have 4-2/3 waves per inch and with a crinkle depth of 1/16" (1.6 mm). Slicing wheels can be converted to crinkle slicing by replacing the straight knives with crinkle knives and using a different shear edge.
MicroSlice® Wheel Flat Slices
.020 to .240" (.5 to 6 mm)
MicroSlice Wheel Crinkle Slices
.069" (1.8 mm) thickness with 3-1/3 waves per inch and with a crinkle depth of .080" (2.0 mm).
MicroSlice Wheel Oval Shred
This shred has an oval-shaped cross section measuring approximately .125" (3.2 mm) thick by .250" (6.4 mm) wide.
MicroSlice Julienne Strips
A wide range of julienne strips can be made from firm products. Contact your local representative for more information.
Julienne Wheels
Julienne cuts ranging from 1/2 x 1/2" (12.7 x 12.7 mm) to 2 x 2" (50.8 x 50.8 mm) are produced by using julienne knives on the slicing wheel.
