E TranSlicer® Cutter
APPLICATIONS

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Engineered to produce continuous precision slices with extensive
detail given to key elements throughout the machine, the E TranSlicer
joins the production-proven TranSlicer series in the Urschel line-up.
The E TranSlicer is ideally suited for elongated vegetables, fruits, and
cooked meats.

Product is delivered onto two high speed feed belts [ 1 ] sloping together
to form a “V” shaped feed trough. The belts are synchronized with the
rotating slicing wheel [ 2 ] to ensure proper advance of product per
revolution of the wheel. Knives [ 3 ] under tension serve as spokes and
support the rim of the slicing wheel. The knives are slightly twisted to
create a uniform pitch from the hub to the rim. Knife pitch serves to pull
product through the slicing wheel and produce a precise slice thickness.
Available hold-down assembly enables increased positive feeding if
needed. One slice is made at a time which prevents any crushing of the
product. The cut slices are then released into a sloped discharge chute
to reduce their speed before exiting the machine.

The E TranSlicer accepts firm products up to 4" (101.6 mm) in
diameter and leafy-type, more compressible products up to 6" (152.4
mm) in diameter.
A variety of interchangeable stainless steel cutting wheels offers
maximum versatility: slicing wheel, ¥patented MicroSlice® wheel,
and julienne wheel. The machine features continuous operation for
uninterrupted production.
Elements found throughout the design include:
• tainless steel materials; machine is designed to fit easily into
S
existing processing lines.
• vailable static and powered hold-down assemblies work with
A
different feed belts to optimize the feeding of product.
•
Cutting wheel mount/holder assembly allows simple wheel
changeovers.
• inged/sliding panels offer full access to all key areas of the machine
H
for maintenance and washdowns.
• loped surfaces throughout the machine including a self-draining
S
frame ease cleaning.
• anitary design with all mechanical components completely separate
S
from the food zone.
• imple to use integrated electrical enclosure features circuit breakers
S
instead of fuses and a brake motor button that releases the brake to
facilitate maintenance.
•t
Electrical cables raised off of frame to allow simple washdowns and
alleviate trapped food particulates.
• ndicator lights on the electrical panel and guardlocks illuminate when
I
guardlocks are properly engaged.
• vailable across-the-line start or variable frequency drive.

TYPES OF CUTS
SLICING WHEELS
Flat & Crinkle Slices: 1/32 to 3" (.8 to 76.2 mm)
Crinkle slices have 4-2/3 waves per inch and with a crinkle depth of
1/16" (1.6 mm). Slicing wheels can be converted to crinkle slicing by
replacing the straight knives with crinkle knives and using a
different shear edge.
JULIENNE WHEELS: Julienne cuts ranging from 1/2
x 1/2" (12.7 x 12.7 mm) to 2 x 2" (50.8 x 50.8 mm) are
produced by using julienne knives on the slicing wheel.
MICROSLICE® WHEELS
Flat Slices: .020 to .240" (.5 to 6 mm)
Crinkle Slice: .069" (1.8 mm) thickness with 3-1/3 waves
per inch and with a crinkle depth of .080" (2.0 mm)
Oval Shred: This shred has an oval-shaped cross section
measuring approximately .125" (3.2 mm) thick by .250" (6.4
mm) wide.
Julienne Strips: A wide range of julienne strips can be
made from firm products. Contact your local representative for more
information.
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 needs.
