The patented Urschel® Model M6 is a versatile machine designed for dicing, strip cutting, or shredding a variety of products through a wide range of sizes from product of a predetermined thickness. The machine is ideally suited for cutting frozen-tempered, fresh chilled, or hot cooked beef, pork, or poultry in addition to leafy vegetable products. The Model M6 operates continuously at high production capacities., and is designed for easy cleanup and maintenance.

Key components promote increased sanitation incorporated in an ergonomic, practical design: Hinged access panels - stainless steel motor - solid bar and angle frame design - streamlined product feed with two pivoting product guides – integrated electrical enclosure – convenient operator stop/start station.

The OPERATION PRINICPLE when DICING/STRIP CUTTING is as follows:
Product is delivered onto a high speed feed belt. This belt carries the product to the dicing unit. Product is pinched between a feed roll and the drive roll at the end of the feed belt. The feed roll, which is spring loaded and adjustable, allows product of varying thicknesses to move through the dicing unit without being crushed. Product is forced into circular knives which run in narrow grooves in the rotating feed drum. The resulting strips are then removed from the circular knives by a stripper plate which also acts as a shear edge for the crosscut knives. The stips of product move directly into the rotating crosscut knives producing cubes or rectangular pieces of predetermined size.

Types of Cuts:

Dices:
Many sizes of cuts are possible by combining the various selections of circular knife spacings with different crosscut knife spindles. Circular Knives: 3/16 to 1-1/2” (4,8 to 38 mm), Crosscut Knives: 1/8 to “ (3,2 to 76,2 mm) standard sizes, up to 5.66” (144 mm) available with alternate gearing.

Stip cuts:
Strip cuts can be made by removing the crosscut knife spindle from the machine. The length and thickness of the strips will depend upon the size of the original product.

Shreds:
Many types available. Due to variables in applications, it is highly recommended that processors work with Urschel to achieve optimum results.
