Thurne PolySlicer 1000

The compact Thurne PolySlicer 1000 provides small to medium producers and packers with flexibility and efficiency.

With a large aperture for up to 3 log slicing capacity, quick, assisted loading and simple-to-adjust slicing head, the slicer handles a wide variety of different products with fast changeover times. It combines a host of advanced features and options to deliver high output, product variety and versatility.

The PolySlicer 1000 is available with a choice of orbital or involute blade for high output. An involute blade delivers stacks at speeds of up to 1500 rev/min — a high-speed, high-volume production of typically standard, formed products such as luncheon meat, processed ham and bacon. An orbital blade offers finer cuts on a wide range of products like pates, salamis, natural hams and soft cheese.

The slicer produces a wide range of pack formats, including shingled, stacked, staggered, shaved, portioned, folded or interleaved presentations, as well as variety packs.

The slicer can operate as a standalone machine or as part of an integrated fixed or catch weight system.

For maximum versatility a wide range of upgrade packages including stackers, variety conveyors and interleavers is available to ensure optimum performance and provide a good return on investment. Many options are available for retrofit after sale.

Stacks or shingles of cheese, cooked and cured meats can all be sliced and interleaved on the PolySlicer 1000, demonstrating its versatility and widening its appeal to meat and cheese processors of all sizes.

The interleaver can interleave each slice within a group or underleave a complete group in single-, twin- or triple-lane operation. The interleaver will operate with both the orbital and the involute slicing blade options.

The independent cutting of paper and of product provides control of paper positioning and therefore product presentation, which, combined with the involute high-speed blade that requires infrequent sharpening, makes for high productivity with low maintenance.

Thurne’s interleaver is also designed to be easily accessible for fast reel changes and easy cleaning and, in common with all its options, can be retrofitted to existing PolySlicer 1000 machines, thereby maximising and safeguarding the processor’s investment.

As with all Thurne slicers, the Polyslicer 1000 has been designed for easy hygiene and built with robust stainless steel construction for low maintenance and a high level of reliability.
