Urschel E Tran Slicer (etrs) Cutter

The Urschel E TranSlicer (ETRS) cutter, on display at PACK EXPO Las Vegas Booth N-22013, features a built-in discharge conveyor, which facilitates the dispensing of cut product into totes. The built-in conveyor also assists with the effective capture of slivered, small cuts of leeks, onions, or peppers to promote complete discharge from the machine. Hinged/sliding panels offer full access to all key areas of the machine to simplify maintenance and washdowns, while sloped surfaces throughout the machine, including a self-draining frame, make cleaning easier. Engineered for elongated food products, the belt-fed unit employs different styles of 20-in. diameter cutting wheels to create flat or crinkle slices and julienne cuts.

“The design of the Urschel E TranSlicer (ETRS) cutter streamlines processing with minimal elevation changes, plus controlled and contained transfer points, to ensure maximum product is processed,” explains Urschel Laboratories CSO Alan Major.
