APPLICATIONS The new Affinity Dicer is the largest cheese dicer Urschel manufactures. The heavy duty dicer delivers a sanitary design, optimal high capacity output, and precision cuts. The Affinity accepts a wide range of infeed products in different shapes and sizes. Infeed hopper accepts a maximum up to 7" (178 mm) product. Key Affinity Features • Maximum power to deliver maximum throughput capacity • Sanitary highly polished stainless steel surfaces to deter bacterial growth • Food zone completely separate from the mechanical zone • Hinged swingaway panels and sloped surfaces simplify maintenance and washdown procedures • Designed for continuous operation for uninterrupted production AFFINITY DICER OPERATING PRINCIPLE Product delivered to a feed hopper enters a rotating impeller. Centrifugal force holds the product against the inside of the case. Impeller paddles (1) carry the product past the slicing knife (2). An adjustable slice gate (3) at the top of the case determines the slice thickness. Slices pass between the rotating feed drum (4) and feed roll (5), then enter the circular knives (6) where they are cut into strips. The strips pass directly into the crosscut knives (7) where the final cut is made. The stripper plate (8) removes product from the spaces between the circular knives and acts as a shear edge for the crosscut knives. TYPES OF CUTS Slice thickness: 1/8 to 3/4" (3.2 to 19.1 mm) Dices: A slicing knife, circular knife spindle, and crosscut knife spindle are used for dicing. Changing the dice size is done by adjusting the slice thickness, variable frequency drive, and cutting spindles as needed. Circular Knife Spindle: 1/8 to 2" (3.2 to 50.8 mm) Crosscut Knife Spindle: 1/8 to 2" (3.2 to 50.8 mm) Strip Cuts: Flat 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. 1/8 to 2" (3.2 to 50.8 mm) in length • Produces superior cut quality If your product application is not mentioned on this page, contact your local Urschel representative to determine the most effective solution to your size reduction need
