APPLICATIONS

The Urschel §Model OC specializes in crosscut bias slicing of elongated
products including: pickles, carrots, celery, rhubarb, okra, potatoes,
squash, etc. The machine features a wide selection of slice thicknesses,

continuous operation for uninterrupted production, and simplied design

for easy cleanup and maintenance. The Model OC will accommodate
products up to 2.5" (63.5 mm) in diameter or width.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Product is fed onto a conveyor belt [ 1 ] which carries the product to the
slicing wheel [ 2 ]. 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. One
slice is made at a time which prevents crushing of the product. The cut
slices are then discharged from the machine.

TYPES OF CUTS

Bias Flat Slices & Bias Crinkle Slices: Wide range from 1/16 to 1-3/4"
(1.6 to 44.5 mm)
