The MCT Tomato Slicers has been specifically designed and engineered to produce precision cut tomato slices. The machines are constructed of sani-safe stainless steel that are easy to load reducing labor costs.
The MCT Tomato Slicers:
• Produces uniform, clean cut tomato slices to a standard thickness
• Removes and collects the unwanted end pieces of the tomato
• Retains the integrity of the tomato slice by gently placing them into the tray
• Avoids hand sorting the tomato slices which reduces the risk of damage and contamination
• MCT 25 and 50 sanitizes each of the cutting blades between each slicing cycle, significantly reducing the risk of cross contamination – automatic spraying system
• Reduces the labor handling costs of slicing the tomatoes significantly
• Delivers in excess of 70% yield of finished product consistently
The Company offers 4 different models depending on the needs of the customers:
• Single row ¼ steam trays: MCT 5 and MCT 25 Tomato Slicers
• Three row ½ steam trays: MCT 10 and MCT 50 Tomato Slicers
MCT 5 Tomato Slicer – single row ¼ steam tray
The MCT 5 is a semi automated single row slicer. The machine slices six tomatoes per cycle which can yield up to seven slices per tomato – or 42 slices per cycle. The MCT 5 can be operated at processing speeds of over 3 cycles per minute giving an average yield of over 400 lbs. per hour with one operator.
MCT 25 Tomato Slicer – single row ¼ steam tray
The MCT 25 model is fully integrated with a Pick & Place unit, which allows more than one operator to load, increasing productivity. The machine slices six tomatoes per cycle which can yield up to seven premium slices per tomato – or 42 slices per cycle. The MCT 25 can be operated at processing speeds of over 13 cycles per minute giving an average yield of over 1,600 lbs. per hour with five operators.
MCT 10 Tomato Slicer – three row ½ steam tray
The MCT 10 is a semi automated single row slicer. The machine slices seven tomatoes per cycle which can yield up to six slices per tomato – or 42 slices per cycle. This equates to 126 slices in a ½ steam tray. The MCT 10 can be operated at processing speeds of over 3 cycles per minute giving an average yield of over 300 lbs. per hour with one operator.
MCT 50 Tomato Slicer – three row ½ steam tray
The MCT 50 model is fully integrated with a Pick & Place unit, which allows more than one operator to load, increasing productivity. The machine slices seven tomatoes per cycle which can yield up to six premium slices per tomato – or 42 slices per cycle. This equates to 126 slices in a ½ steam tray. The MCT 50 can be operated at processing speeds of 5 cycles per minute giving an average yield of over 1,500 lbs. per hour with just five operators.
The MCT Tomato Slicers integrates with the Maxwell Chase Technologies “Fresh-R-Pax™” absorbent trays, resulting in a dramatic improvement in shelf life to 14 days.
