Innovation in Cutting Technology for Food Processing at FOODTECH 2026

The international event in Herning will feature the unveiling of new developments in industrial slicers, dicers, and shredders, designed to optimize throughput and precision when processing fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and snacks.

HERNING (DENMARK) — During the FOODTECH exhibition at the MCH Messecenter Herning (October 27–29, 2026), the food processing sector will have the opportunity to explore the latest industrial cutting and precision engineering solutions for food preparation.

Meet with an Urschel representative during the trade show (Booth L-9380) to discover key innovations, including the new Little Gem Aspire™ slicer, the Affinity Integra® slicer, and the CC slicer each offering unique, high-performance size-reduction methods to ensure efficient and optimized operations.

• The Little Gem Aspire Dicer is a new Urschel cutting concept in produce processing. Engineered through extensive R&D by Urschel Innovation and Development, the compact dicer employs a patented StatiCut™ knife assembly and crosscut knife assembly to achieve slices ranging from 2 mm - 20 mm, dices up to 20 mm, and strip cuts. Named after the original Little Gem, the new dicer combines easy use with strong performance, expanding on its predecessor that led Urschel to become the global leader it is today.
  
  
• Designed to meet the challenges of difficult-to-cut products, the Affinity Integra Dicer excels at processing cheese or soft meats, meats with high-fat content, cold temperature products, sticky bakery ingredients, or products like brined pickles. The dicer’s clean-cutting action achieves high yields of precise, targeted cut sizes well within customer parameters.
  
  
• The CC Slicer, the leading high-yield potato slicer across the globe, produces precise, uniform slices and shreds at high capacities for applications including potato slices, fruits, vegetables, and cheese. The CC Slicer at FOODTECH will feature a 10 HP (7.5 kW) motor.

The Urschel display presents processors with multiple options that are ruggedly engineered to slice, dice, strip cut, shred, and more across a range of industries, including fruit and vegetable, dairy, bakery and snack, and others. Processors are encouraged to visit Urschel at Booth L-9380 to learn which solution is the optimal fit to meet their production goals.
