Vegetable Belt Slicer BCM-1650

The vegetable belt cutter BCM-1650 is designed for small- and medium-sized vegetable processing companies. This machine is well suited for almost all kinds of vegetables, fruits, and salads and has a capacity of up to 1000 kg/h. The BCM-1650 delivers excellent cutting results due to its sophisticated concept of ‘rotating knife transition’ with small SS rollers guiding the product to the knife, along with extremely sharp knives. Cutting sizes and other options can easily be adjusted on the machine’s touch screen. The BCM-1650 can also be seamlessly integrated into a vegetable processing line for cutting, washing, and drying vegetables.

Cutting sizes are adjustable with a simple press on the touch screen, and the cutting discs can be easily interchanged due to their convenient size and weight.

Hygienic Design / Easy to Clean

All doors can be easily opened, and all belts are removable for easy cleaning. The machine’s smooth surface and lack of ‘dirt angles’ facilitate quick, thorough, and hygienic cleaning. The touch screen includes a cleaning program that allows the belts to run with an open door and screen, simplifying the cleaning process without the need to remove the belts.

Sustainability

The machine is made entirely of sustainable stainless steel, and all technical components are from renowned brands. Technical components are protected from water as they are inside the machine. And the touchscreen is IP-67 water resistant.

Safety

The vegetable belt slicer BCM-1650 incorporates three water-resistant (IP-67) sensors that prevent users from reaching the knife disc while the machine is operating, ensuring user safety. The sensors are located on the door of the cutting chamber, under the cutting chamber (a safety bar), and on the cover over the cutting belts. If a sensor is deactivated, the machine will immediately stop (brake motor), and the touch screen will graphically indicate which sensor was deactivated.
