FAM MCS-3D

• Processing of root vegetables and tubers (e.g., potatoes, carrots, parsnips) into various cuts.
• Shredding and dicing of leafy vegetables and fruits for salads, ready meals, or further processing.
• Preparation of ingredients for soups, stews, and frozen food products.
• Size reduction of products in industrial kitchens, catering, and food manufacturing facilities.

Typical capacity

For this class of industrial dicer, throughput can typically range from 500 kg/h to 3,000 kg/h, depending on the product and desired cut size.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Cut types

The FAM MCS-3D is designed for a variety of cuts, including dices, strips, shreds, and slices, achieved through interchangeable cutting tools.

Suitable feed size

Typically, products up to 100-150mm in diameter can be fed into the machine, though this can vary by specific configuration.

Construction material

Units are commonly constructed from stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304) for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Footprint

For this model, a typical footprint might be around 1.5m x 1.0m, plus space for access and outfeed conveyors.

• What maintenance is typically required for a FAM MCS-3D?

  Routine maintenance commonly involves cleaning, inspection of cutting tools for sharpness, checking bearings, and ensuring all safety interlocks are functional. Regular lubrication of moving parts is also typical.

• Can this machine handle both hard and delicate products?

• Are spare parts readily available for FAM equipment?

• What safety features are commonly found on these units?

• How difficult is it to change the cut size or type?

Food processing cutters and dicers are valued for consistent product sizing and improved throughput in commercial kitchens and production facilities. Buyers typically prioritise robust construction, ease of cleaning, and reliable blade systems when purchasing used models. The equipment maintains strong reputation for durability across multiple shift operations. Key considerations include motor condition, blade sharpness, and safety guard integrity. Well-maintained units from established manufacturers generally deliver reliable performance at lower capital cost than new alternatives.
