APPLICATIONS

The §QuantiCut® Dicer by Urschel Laboratories uniformly dices,
strip cuts, and slices a wide variety of food products at high production
capacities including potatoes, carrots, turnips, rutabagas, celery,
pineapple, peppers, and a variety of other products.

Further engineering innovations have simplified the changing of
spindles and other parts. Specially designed changing tools
accompany the machine including a patented crosscut spindle
changing tool and a patented circular spindle changing tool which
allow one person to change spindles without assistance.

Maximum product input size is 10" (254 mm) in any dimension. The
machine features continuous operation for uninterrupted production
and simplified designed for easy cleanup and maintenance.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Product is delivered to a feed hopper, then enters a rotating
impeller. Centrifugal force holds the product against the inside of the
case as the impeller blades carry the product past the slicing knife. An
adjustable case gate at the top of the case allows the product to move
outward across the edge of the slicing knife. The distance between the
edge of the slice gate and the slicing knife edge determines the slice
thickness.

As the slices emerge, they enter the circular knives and are guided
between the slicing knife and an adjustable stripper plate where they
are cut into strips. The strips pass directly into the crosscut knives
which make the final cut.

TYPES OF CUTS

SLICES: By removing the crosscut spindle, the circular knife
spindle and the stripper plate, the machine can make slices thru the
full range of slice thicknesses (optional discharge chute may be
required).

STRIP CUTS: Strip cuts in a variety of widths can be made by
removing either the crosscut knife spindle or the circular knife spindle
assembly.

DICES: A slicing knife, circular knife spindle, and crosscut knife
spindle are used for dicing. Changing the size of the cubes is done by
using the required cutting spindles and adjusting the slice thickness.

CRINKLE CUTS: Any slice thickness listed may be obtained with
crinkle slicing knives when measuring from peak to valley. Crinkle
slices can be obtained by replacing the straight slicing knife with a
crinkle slicing knife. Crinkle strip cuts can be made by substituting
crinkle knives in place of the straight knives on the spindle.

Slice thickness (straight): 1/16 to 1-1/8" (1.6 to 28.6 mm)

Slice thickness (crinkle): 1/8 to 1" (3.2 to 25.4 mm)

Circular knife cuts: 5/32 to 3" (4.0 to 76.2 mm)

Crosscut knife cuts: 1/8 to 2-5/8" (3.2 to 66.7 mm)
