High Capacity Random type cuts or a Hand Pulled look

The new Luthi PMD-2D belt-fed dicer / strip-cutter, made completely of stainless steel, is ideally suited for the cutting of a variety of meat products including fresh chilled, frozen and tempered (-10°C), cooked and hot (to 60°C). Coarse, medium and fine shreds are achieved with higher throughput.

Cooked poultry, beef, veal, pork, lamb and some varieties of raw meat and fish can be processed at high yields with uniform appearance and minimized fines. Product of predetermined slice thickness is fed into a 220 mm (9") wide feed belt which carries the product up to the dicing / strip-cutting unit.

BENEFITS

  • Reduced labor and increased yield. Hand trimming is eliminated. Cut quality and accuracy is identical, cut after cut.
  • Simplified design for quick cleaning and cut size adjustment due to a unique quick release system for the feed roll and cutting spindles.

Sanitation is Paramount:

  • Complete separation between the product path and the mechanical drive elements prevents contamination.
  • Easy removal and installation of the feed belt for inspection and cleaning purposes.

Easy maintenance:

  • Only one upper cover to open to service the machine with a centralized set of grease fittings.

CUT SIZE & TYPE ARE ADJUSTABLE Slice thickness: For the best results, firm products should not exceed 20 mm (3/4") in thickness. The final thickness of the square or rectangle will be the same thickness as the original product.

  • Strip-cut: (made by circular knives) 3 / 4 / 4.76 / 6.35 / 7.94 / 9.52 / 12.7 / 15.8 / 19.05 / 25.4 / 38.1 / 50 / 75 / 85 mm
  • Dice: (made by crosscut knives) 3.1 / 4 / 4.76 / 6.35 / 7.94 / 9.52 / 12.7 / 15.8 / 19.05 / 25.4 / 38.1 / 50 / 75 / 85 mm
