OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Product delivered to an opening in the feed pan falls onto a revolving
corrugated feed drum [ 1 ]. The drum and opposing feed spindle [ 2 ]
transfer product to the circular knives [ 3 ] where it is cut into strips. The
individual strips are removed from the circular knives by the stripping
action of the shear plate [ 4 ], which also acts as a shear edge for the
crosscut knives. The strips of product move directly into the rotating
crosscut knives [ 5 ]. This second and nal cut produces cubes or
rectangular pieces and discharges the product from the dicer.

TYPES OF CUTS

DICES/GRANULATIONS:

Circular Knife Cuts: 1/8 to 1" (3.2 to 25.4 mm)
Crosscut Knife Cuts: 1/16 to 3" (1.6 to 76.2 mm)

STRIP CUTS:

Removal of the crosscut knife spindle will produce strips of different
lengths depending on input product size.
