Meet the new TranSlicer^® 2520 Cutter

Next Generation of Sanitation

TranSlicer^® 2520

Cutter Highlights

• Weighing in at an approximate net 2,250 lb (1020 kg), the machine offers a solid design and outstanding performance. The frame features sanitation improvements to deter condensation build-up and bacterial growth.
   
• Self-draining, angled channel frame eliminates flat surfaces to deter bacterial build-up and ease washdowns. Open bottom design ( 1 ) readily evacuates water and residual waste to ease processing operations.
   
• Discharge chute ( 2 ) offers optional left or right hinge and may be completely removed from the machine for cleaning.
   
• Backplate ( 3 ) specially designed with added clearance for washdown assistance and may also be completely removed for cleaning.
   
• Cutting wheel retention fasteners serve as a built-in wheel rest to ease changeovers ( 4 ); also offer wheel stability to assist in the event of a crash.
   
• Cutting wheels provide flat/crinkle slices, shreds, or julienne cuts.
   
• Stainless steel handles are designed for increased sanitation and ease of use.
   
• Heavy-duty latches are easy to clean and are also removable from the machine for cleaning ( 5 ).
   
• Built-in handles ( 6 ) simplify opening of product contact guide area to expedite belt changeovers and other procedures.
   
• Sanitary, stainless steel design. All access with all doors fully opening for complete visual inspection and to ease cleaning and maintenance. Doors may also be completely removed for cleaning.
   
• Stand-offs minimize lap joints, and are located in optimal positions, including backplate, motors, gear boxes, and casters, to streamline visual inspection and washdowns ( 7 ).
   
• Durable stainless-steel guard locks designed to open only after the wheel has come to a complete stop ( 8 ).
   
• Handled, cover support post ( 9 ) readily pivots and glides into position to increase access to product feed belts.
   
• Solid, stainless steel quick belt release levers expedite changeovers ( 10 ).
   
• Products guides ( 11 ) offer increased relief by optimal spacing for washdowns and visual inspections.
   
• Control stations with IP69K button rating are located on both sides of machine to ease operation and washdowns ( 12 ).
   
• Allen-Bradley^® VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) is equipped on stainless steel motors ( 13 ). Motors power the cutting wheel (3 HP, 2.2 kW with brake) and feed belt (1 HP, .75 kW). All motors are IP69K rated.
   
• Optional fanless motor may be purchased with machine.
   
• IP69K certified electrical enclosure features a double-sealed door ( 14 ) for extra protection during washdowns.
   
• Wire routing loops adapt to cleaning procedures ( 15 ). Wire loops allow individual strands to be washed and sanitized to reduce potential bacteria.
   
• Optional HMI ( 16 ) provides intuitive functions: Programmable recipes ( 17 ) allow the set-up of different cut sizes, speeds, and wheels. Processors benefit from easily switching from one set-up to another. With the HMI option, the machine is still fully operational via push buttons.
   
• Clearly identifies guards that are open ( 18 ) or not effectively engaged, and implements alarms to alert operators, supervisors, and maintenance staff when a guard is not effectively engaged. Alarm history can be exported and evaluated to maintain safe operation.
   
• Visual representation of VFDs ( 19 ) with indications of fault codes without having to open the electrical enclosure.
   
• Optional remote start and stop. Integrates with VNC viewers to work remotely from a control center. Rockwell Automation® components utilized for seamless integration into upper level SCADA systems.
   
• Customizable timers alert users if a programmed amount of time has passed with the machine running, and allows for a programmable shutdown ( 20 ).
   
• Stores valuable data for export and analysis including trending of amperage for potential overfeeding issues.
   
• HMI may be set up in different languages.
