Maxwell Chase unveils tomato slicer
Maxwell Chase Technologies has a new tomato slicer.
The patented MCT 50 automated tomato slicer was designed to cut slices specifically for half steam trays, according to a news release from the Atlanta-based company.
The slicer features “pick and place” technology, which allows more than one operator to load it, increasing productivity. The MCT 50 can slice 1,300 pounds of tomatoes per hour.
The slicer is a three-row version of the company’s single-row MCT 25 slicer.
