How Urschel cutting technology works
Urschel machines rely on mechanical knife-based cutting, not compression or tearing:
- Products are guided through precision knife assemblies
- Knife geometry defines the final product shape and size
- Feed systems stabilise product flow to maintain uniformity
- Cutting is continuous, resulting in high throughput and repeatable quality
Interchangeable cutting heads allow processors to switch between cut types with minimal downtime.
