Urschel® Model M6 Dicer
Versatile Dicer/Strip Cutter/Shredder
APPLICATIONS
The two-dimensional cutter, Urschel Model M6, is a versatile machine
designed for dicing, strip cutting, or shredding a variety of products
through a wide range of sizes from product of a predetermined
thickness. In addition to cutting frozen-tempered, fresh-chilled, or hotcooked meat and poultry, the M6 also processes leafy vegetables, pork
skins, pet food, sh, bread for croutons, and bakery goods. The Model
M6 operates continuously at high production capacities, and is designed
for easy cleanup and maintenance.
TYPES OF CUTS
DICES: Many sizes of cuts are possible by combining the various
selections of circular knife spacings with different crosscut knife spindles.
• Circular knives: 3/16 to 1-1/2" (4.8 to 38 mm)
• Crosscut knives: 1/8 to 3" (3.2 to 76.2 mm) standard sizes, up to
5.66" (144 mm) available with alternate gearing.
STRIP CUTS: Strip cuts can be made by removing the crosscut knife
spindle from the machine. The length and thickness of the strips will
depend upon the size of the original product.
SHREDS: Many types available. Due to variables in applications, it is
highly recommended that processors work with Urschel Laboratories to
achieve optimum results.

MODEL M6 (DICING)
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Product of predetermined thickness is delivered onto a high speed
feed belt [ 1 ]. This belt carries the product to the dicing unit. Product
is pinched between a feed roll [ 2 ] and the drive roll [ 3 ] at the end
of the feed belt. The feed roll, which is spring loaded and adjustable,
allows product of varying thicknesses to move through the dicing unit
without being crushed. Product is forced into circular knives [ 4 ] which
run in narrow grooves in the rotating feed drum [ 5 ]. The resulting strips
are then removed from the circular knives by a stripper plate [ 6 ] which
also acts as a shear edge for the crosscut knives [ 7 ]. The strips move
directly into the rotating crosscut knives producing cubes or rectangular
pieces [ 8 ] of predetermined size.
The machine can also be equipped with a top belt assembly. With this
assembly, the feed roll is replaced by the top belt drive roll and top feed
belt [ 9 ].
The machine can also be set up for shredding. In this application, a feed
spindle [ 10 ] replaces the circular knife spindle, and a shredding spindle
replaces the crosscut knife spindle. There are two types of shredding
spindles. One spindle design uses shredding discs [ 11 ] and spacers
stacked on a spindle. The other spindle design uses blunt edge knives
[ 12 ] on a crosscut spindle. Both spindles will produce shreds [ 13 ] on
various meat products.
