Cutting Solutions
Urschel offers a wide variety of dicers, slicers,
shredders, and milling equipment to support the
needs of different processors. That's why leading
pet food processors rely on us for cutting
solutions for all types of products.
A self-aligning feature on a cutting system increases product
consistency and accuracy.

to determine the model best-suited for
your application.
maintain and use the cutting system correctly, this will affect
the overall extrusion system's ability to run as intended and
in turn may create a situation where off-spec production is
occurring," he says, adding that a missing knife could lead to
gaps in the pet food product being produced.
A quick, 15-minute check by the operator can make all the
difference, Rokey adds. "The RPM of the knives is important
too," he says. "If the RPM is too fast, then you will have pieces
that are too short and accelerated blade wear. If it's too slow,
knife blades disrupt product flow as it emerges from the die
and create a rounded, mushroom-topped product."
As for food safety, Rokey says the cutting operation requires proper shielding and, if knives aren't regularly replaced, they can get worn down and pieces can break off and
get into the product stream. If a knife fails, use of a downstream x-ray or metal detector can keep fragments from getting into a product stream and avoid a recall, he adds.
What's next?
Rokey says he sees the potential for water jet (or water
knife) cutting technology for long goods. But this will require additional food safety steps downstream.
Kirkland says he can imagine a pet food and treat market filled with more "custom products" developed to cater to
specific breeds of animals. "The focus on quality of finished
products, raw ingredients used in the products and the
humanization of pets are all pushing the industry to keep
improving the products that are offered," he says.
