French Style Bean Slicer
Beans are projected endwise from the feed belt into the cutting
ead, which consists of a circular knife spindle, stripper plate
h
assembly, and stationary knife. Accurately spaced circular knives
mesh with corresponding slots in the cutting roll. The surface of the
cutting roll is fluted to insure positive feeding of the beans through the
circular knives. The beans, cut lengthwise by the circular knives, are
removed from between the knives by the stripper plate and guided into
a horizontal stationary knife. Beans enter the stationary knife at high
speed, causing them to be cut through the center at right angles to the
cuts made previously by the circular knives. Cut beans are then
discharged from the machine.

APPLICATIONS
The Urschel Model W Bean Slicer produces excellent french style
cuts from round pod beans. This machine also produces attractive cuts
from other pod bean varieties. The Model W features continuous
operation for uninterrupted production and simplified design for easy
cleanup and maintenance.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Blanched beans enter the feed hopper in a uniform flow from a
distribution belt or elevator
cylinder. The feed cylinder consists of a number of narrow parallel
rings, uniformly spaced to permit beans to drop between sides of the
rings onto a high speed belt below. After beans have reached the feed
belt, they are further straightened by the oscillating motion of parallel
guides which correspond to the spacing of the feed cylinder rings. This
important final straightening of the beans is achieved by continuously
varying the spacing of the guides from wide to narrow as the beans
are carried toward the circular knives. The oscillating action of the
guides helps to keep the variable openings between the guides from
plugging.
