Meet the new TranSlicer® 2520 Cutter

The 2520 of URSCHEL takes the design of the TranSlicer 2510 to the next level. Every facet of the machine focuses on timesaving, therefore cost-saving, sanitation practices. On average, customers incorporating the TranSlicer 2520 into their production line are saving 25 minutes per washdown/cleaning versus previously owned machines. Elements of the machine aid in visual inspections and assist with hygienic cleaning procedures. Building on the original TranSlicer that revolutionized the commercial, fresh-cut salad industry, Urschel introduces the new TranSlicer 2520 Cutter. The TranSlicer 2520 processes a variety of products for the commercial food processing industry such as leafy vegetables, celery, leek, carrots, cucumbers, and fruits. The TranSlicer 2520 implements many of the features of the TranSlicer 2510 Cutter: 25" (635 mm) diameter interchangeable stainless steel cutting wheels; sanitary, stainless steel design; types of cut; accepts infeed of compressible food products up to 8" (203 mm) in diameter, or firm products up to 6-3/4" (171 mm) in diameter; and operates continuously to achieve high capacities with uninterrupted production. The number, placement, degree of pitch, and type of knives coordinate with the cutting wheel and feed belt speed to determine the size of cut. Featured products To accommodate different types of products, the machine offers a choice between three feed belt configurations: primary and secondary belts, full- length primary belts, or the more compact machine version featuring shorter primary belts. The machine operates via a variable frequency drive (VFD).The feed zone is completely separate from the mechanical zone to promote sanitation. The overall design of the 2520 sets itself apart. The concept encompasses the next generation of sanitation to greatly reduce cleaning times. Accessibility to every area of the machine expedites washdowns. All surfaces are engineered to promote water drainage. Stand-offs located throughout minimize overlapping joints and improve inspection and decrease cleaning times. IP69K rated IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) electrical components incorporated throughout machine withstand high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. Rely on the TranSlicer 2520 to provide optimal, high capacity cutting with cost-savings related to reduced cleaning and inspection times. Machine Highlights- Weighing in at an approximate net 2,250 lb (1020 kg), the machine offers a solid design and outstanding performance. The frame features sanitation improvements to deter condensation build-up and bacterial growth. - Self-draining, angled channel frame eliminates flat surfaces to deter bacterial build-up and ease washdowns. Open bottom design (1) readily evacuates water and residual waste to ease processing operations. - Discharge chute (2) offers optional left or right hinge and may be completely removed from the machine for cleaning. - Backplate (3) specially designed with added clearance for washdown assistance and may also be completely removed for cleaning. - Cutting wheel retention fasteners serve as a built-in wheel rest to ease changeovers (4) ; also offer wheel stability to assist in the event of a crash. - Cutting wheels provide flat/crinkle slices, shreds, or julienne cuts.
