APPLICATIONS

The ‡patented TranSlicer 2000®Cutter by Urschel Laboratories
uniformly slices with precision at high capacities and is ideally suited
for elongated products. Products effectively cut on the machine include
potatoes, plantain, celery, asparagus, beans, peppers, lettuce, bread
sticks, carrots, zucchini, chicken tenders, wieners, citrus peel,
extruded products, pickles, pepperoni, and many other applications.

The TranSlicer 2000 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.

Three interchangeable cutting wheel styles are possible for
maximum versatility: slicing wheel,
julienne wheel. Slicing and julienne wheels are available with stainless
steel contact parts having a manganese aluminum or stainless steel
hub. The TranSlicer 2000 offers simplified design with hinged and
sliding access panels which ease maintenance and cleaning. The
machine features continuous operation for uninterrupted production.

Product

TRANSLICER 2000® CUTTER

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Product is delivered onto two high speed feed belts sloping
together to form a “V” shaped feed trough. The belts are synchronized
with the rotating slicing wheel to ensure proper advance of product per
revolution of the wheel. Knives 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. Optional free wheeling or motorized top belts are available if
more positive feeding is needed. One slice is made at a time which
prevents any crushing of the product. The cut slices are then released
into a hinged, discharge chute to reduce their speed before exiting the
machine.

TYPES OF CUTS

SLICING WHEELS

Flat Slices: 1/32 to 2" (.8 to 50.8 mm)
Crinkle Slices: 1/32 to 2" (.8 to 50.8 mm) in thickness with

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. A different

shear edge must also be used for crinkle slicing.

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.

MICROSLICE® WHEELS

Flat Slices: .030 to .240" (.8 to 6 mm)

Crinkle Slice: .069" (1.8 mm) thickness with 3-1/3 waves per inch and

with a crinkle depth of .080" (2.0 mm)
Oval Shred: This shred has an oval-shaped cross section measuring
approximately .125" (3.2 mm) thick by .250" (6.4 mm) wide.
Julienne Strips: A wide range of julienne strips can be made from
firm products. Contact your local representative for more information.
