Urschel transforms potato processing with cutting solutions that elevate quality and productivity

Urschel, a global leader in cutting technology for the food industry, is introducing to the market its specialized offering for potato processing, designed to enhance cutting precision and optimize every stage of production. From the renowned Model CC Slicer—an international benchmark in potato chip manufacturing—to the versatile DiversaCut 2110A® Dicer, the company provides solutions capable of adapting to the needs of processors of all sizes.

A standout example of this innovation is the MicroAdjustable® SL-14 cutting head, which can nearly double capacity compared with standard heads, while also reducing maintenance requirements thanks to its highly advanced design.

Potato Dicing – Industrial-grade precision cubing

The Potato Dicing range includes several models of industrial dicers that deliver uniform cubes with high operational efficiency. These machines are specifically engineered to maintain consistent quality even under continuous operation, making them essential tools for industrial processors, plant managers, and R&D teams.

With the ability to process thousands of kilos per hour, Urschel dicers ensure precise cube sizes while minimizing waste associated with cutting variations. Their versatility allows them to handle raw, cooked, peeled, or unpeeled potatoes, covering applications from prepared salads to frozen products and canned goods.

Among the most notable equipment options are:

• DiversaCut Series, known for its versatility and fast cutting-size changeovers.
• Sprint 2 Dicer, a compact solution offering excellent uniformity and ideal for limited spaces.

Manufactured entirely from hygienic stainless steel, these machines require minimal maintenance and enable reliable, continuous operation. In addition, Urschel offers processors free cutting tests to verify the suitability of each machine for their specific product.

Potato Slicing – Uniform slicing to maximize productivity

In the area of Potato Slicing, Urschel offers equipment that ensures uniform slices, balanced frying times, and lower oil absorption—key parameters for the production of chips, French fries, and specialty cuts.

The slicers provide a wide range of thicknesses, from ultra-thin slices of 0.030’’ (0.760 mm) for extra-crispy chips to thicker cuts such as wedges. This precision results in higher yield, reduced waste, and a more consistent final product.

Among the most notable models are:

• CCLL (Chip Cutter Large Lattice), specialized in lattice-style corrugated cuts, ideal for products such as waffle fries, offering excellent consistency in texture and appearance.

• CC Slicer, designed to achieve extremely thin and uniform slices, highly valued by premium chip manufacturers.

In addition to outstanding performance, these machines are engineered for easy cleaning and maintenance, reducing downtime and optimizing overall line efficiency.

With this complete range of dicing and slicing solutions, Urschel strengthens its position as a strategic partner in potato processing, providing technology that helps manufacturers achieve higher-quality products, maximize productivity, and improve the profitability of their operations.
