NEW: Urschel® Dicer Affinity INTEGRA®, processes difficult-to-cut products (1st picture)The new Affinity INTEGRA, a smaller version of the original Affinity®, excels at processing challenging, difficult-to-cut applications such as cheese or soft meats, meats with high-fat content, cold temperature products, sticky bakery ingredients, or products like brined pickles. The clean-cutting action achieves high yields of precise, targeted cut sizes well within customer parameters. This new dicer incorporates design elements from the longstanding Model RA series, the Affinity, and the Sprint® with the ability to replace existing in-line Model RA series machines. Compared to RA series machines, the Integra accepts a larger infeed product size (up to approximately 4.5" (114 mm), delivers a higher yield, and offers greater overall efficiencies. Types of cutsSlicesSlice thickness: up to 1/2" (12.7 mm) Dices/ Granulations / CrumblesA slicing knife, circular knife spindle, and crosscut knife spindle are used for dicing. Changing the dice size is done by adjusting the slice thickness and cutting spindles as needed.Circular Knife Cuts: 1/8 – 1" (3.2 – 25.4 mm)Crosscut Knife Cuts: 1/8 – 1-1/2" (3.2 – 38.1 mm) Strip cuts / ShredsFlat strips can be made by removing either the crosscut knife spindle or the circular knife spindle. Combinations of circular knives or crosscut knives can be used to shorten the length of the strips.
