APPLICATIONS

The Urschel Model OV uniformly crosscut slices a wide variety of
elongated food products at high capacities. Flat or crinkle style slices
can be made from products such as carrots, celery, cucumbers,
pickles, and squash. One slice is made at a time which prevents
crushing of the products. The Model OV features a wide selection of
slice thicknesses, continuous operation fro uninterrupted production,
and is designed for easy cleanup and maintenance. The Model OV
accommodates products up to 2-3/4"

(69.9 mm) in diameter or width.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Product delivered to a feed hopper feeds onto two high speed feed
belts sloping together to form a “V” cross section. A free wheeling top
belt completes enclosure of the product to insure positive feed into the
rotating slicing 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. One slice is made at a time which prevents any crushing of
the product. The cut slices are then discharged into a spiral chute to
reduce their speed before discharge from the machine.

TYPES OF CUTS

Flat & Crinkle Slices: A wide range from 1/16 to 1-3/4" (1.6 to

44.5 mm). When using crinkle knives, it is necessary to change the
stainless steel shear edge.
