As the Global Leader in Food Cutting Technology, Urschel continues to successfully lead in the manufacturing, selling, and support of industrial cutting machinery to partner and assist food processors everywhere.
To ensure that Urschel continues to provide the best support, it has launched a new website that offers easy-to-navigate information, 360° machine views, and dedicated resource libraries.
Also, customers are invited to meet the new lattice slicer. Exclusively designed by Urschel, the CCLL (Chip Cutter Large Lattice) Slicer features five cutting stations, and a large 32″ (813 mm) cutting chamber, and is powered by a ten-horsepower stainless steel motor. Both sides of the lattice slice are corrugated. The corrugations run approximately 90° to each other to create potato lattice chips or thicker potato waffle fries. The CCLL is an advanced lattice slicer inspired by the Urschel CCL (Chip Cutter Lattice) Slicer which features four cutting stations, a smaller cutting chamber, and a five-horsepower motor.
“The Models CCL (Chip Cutter Lattice) and CCLL (Chip Cutter Large Lattice) potato slicers produce lattice cuts of varying thickness. Both sides of the slice have crinkles/corrugations. The crinkles/corrugations run approximately 90° to each other. Uses involve lattice potato chips and thicker potato waffle fries. The CCL features 4 cutting stations,” the company announced.
An improved version of the CCL, the CCLL Slicer features five cutting stations, in place of the four, a larger 32″ (813 mm) cutting chamber, and is powered by a 10 HP (7.5 kW) stainless steel motor.
The CCLL delivers more than twice the capacity of the CCL (dependent on feeding method). Improved, gentler cutting action promotes higher yields. The patented stainless steel impeller has a larger central feed opening for extended runtime and now with five, instead of four, longer feed tubes for increased capacity and improved slice quality. Each feed tube features: individually replaceable bearing tubes; sealed extended life, and hybrid stainless/ceramic ball bearings with rotary seals on either side of each bearing to promote extended runtime.
“Lattice slicing is a unique application. Proper feeding of the machine is necessary to ensure continuous production. Tempered high-quality round or elongated potatoes measuring between 2 – 4 inches (51 – 102 mm) are best suited,” the company experts announced.
The RockRepeller Impeller
“Exclusively designed by Urschel to assist Urschel CC Slicer customers, meet the new production-proven RockRepeller Impeller. Rocks and stones in potato processing cause lost production time. Urschel now offers a patent-pending impeller that uses centrifugal force to filter out rocks. Impeller paddles move rocks out and away from the cutting zone to exit the machine. Urschel cutting solutions now offer a patent-pending impeller to reduce potatoes and headaches,” the company’s representatives recently declared.
Urschel customers implementing the new, patent-pending impeller have identified many benefits: less downtime, increased production, and increased line flow rates. In addition, customers have reported a reduction in parts with three times fewer knife holder and spare replacements; minimized damage to knife parts and cutting heads to promote overall increased cost-savings.
“Urschel manufactures rugged dicers, slicers, shredders, and particle size reduction machinery. Every critical part is produced in-house to follow Urschel strict quality control standards to optimally fit and function like the original. Urschel machinery delivers uninterrupted production and sanitary, precision cutting at high capacities. Rely on Urschel to deliver ideal cutting solutions that exceed your food processing goals,” the company’s engineers concluded.
