Heat and Control – Industry Favourite for Fresh Cuts Levels Up

INDUSTRY FAVOURITE FOR FRESH CUTS LEVELS UP

The new Urschel TranSlicer 2520 Cutter

The original Urschel TranSlicer ® 2510 Cutter revolutionised the commercial, fresh-cut salad industry. A high-capacity shredder and slicer which can process a huge variety of fresh produce, including large items, at high speed and with next level sanitation – it quickly gained attention from food processors. Now the industry favourite has levelled up and is saving customers 25 minutes (on average) during washdown

Meet the new TranSlicer 2520 Cutter

Building on the success of its predecessor, the new TranSlicer® 2520 Cutter processes all the value-added, fresh-cut salads and vegetables that have recently gained significant real estate in retail fresh produce departments. Leafy vegetables, celery, leek, carrots, cucumbers, parsley, honeydew and other fruits are easily reduced by interchangeable slicing wheels which produce the chosen cut with precision. The TranSlicer 2520 makes all the trending cuts; flat and crinkle slices, julienne or shredded and more.

Use Urschel size reduction equipment to process value-added, fresh-cut salads & vegetables Many innovative style cuts can be produced and processors are using this equipment to capture the consumer market for pre-prepared salads, chopped vegetables and fresh, cook-at-home meal kits. Every facet of the equipment’s upgrade has been focused on cost and time savings, gained from reduced cleaning and inspection times, and there is even a tech upgrade. Optional HMI (human-machine interface) allows programmable recipes to be set up with different cut sizes, speeds and wheels. Processors can easily switch from one set-up to another and with this option, the machine is still fully operational via push buttons. A choice between three feed belt configurations is possible; primary and secondary belts, full length primary belts, or a more compact machine version featuring shorter primary belts. The machine operates via a variable frequency drive (VFD) and the feed zone is completely separate from the mechanical zone to promote sanitation. TransSlicer’s new design levels up on sanitation with customers reporting a significant reduction in cleaning time and faster washdown thanks to easily accessible areas and surfaces engineered to promote water drainage. Stand-offs located throughout minimise overlapping joints, improve inspection and decrease cleaning times. High-pressure, high-temperature washdowns are no problem and IP69K rated IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) electrical components are incorporated throughout.
