FAM MCS-3D - Used FAM Stainless Slicing Wheel

Applications & Use Cases

• Slicing various food products such as fruits, vegetables, and some processed meats.
• Used in food processing lines for preparing ingredients for further processing or packaging.
• Suitable for operations requiring consistent slice thickness and high throughput.
• Often found in facilities producing salads, frozen foods, or snack products.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Typically designed for high-volume continuous operation, often processing hundreds to thousands of kilograms per hour, depending on product and slice thickness.

Slice thickness range

Commonly offers adjustable slice thicknesses, typically ranging from 1mm to 12mm, with specific cutting heads determining the exact range.

Suitable feed size

Typically accommodates products with a maximum diameter or cross-section of 80mm to 150mm, depending on the specific model and infeed system.

Construction material

Units of this type are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with power ratings often between 2kW and 7.5kW.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, dimensions typically range from 1000mm to 1500mm in length, 700mm to 1000mm in width, and 1200mm to 1600mm in height.

Maintenance requirements

Requires regular cleaning of cutting components and housing, periodic inspection and replacement of blades, and lubrication of moving parts.
