Urschel Japan Co., Ltd to Showcase New Little Gem Aspire Dicer at FOOMA Japan 2026 for Advanced Precision Food Processing

Urschel Japan Co., Ltd will showcase the new Little Gem Aspire Dicer alongside other cutting solutions shaping food production at FOOMA Japan, held June 2-5. In addition to the new dicer, Urschel machinery to be featured at the Tokyo show will include the Affinity Integra Dicer, the Comitrol Processor Model 1700, and the Comitrol Processor Model 3600F. 

Visit Urschel Japan at Booth E1-15-19 to discover how each machine applies simplicity, precision cutting, and innovation to help companies navigate the dynamic food processing industry.

Little Gem Aspire Dicer

The Little Gem Aspire Dicer is ready to run and produce ideal cuts including slices from 2 mm to 20 mm, strips, and dices up to 20 mm. The Little Gem Aspire is engineered for a low total cost of ownership overall. The small footprint takes up limited production space. Invented by the Urschel I&D (Innovation and Development) team, the Little Gem Aspire employs patent-pending Urschel cutting methods engineered through extensive research and development. The Little Gem Aspire is named after the original Little Gem that inspired generations of innovation and the early success of Urschel to later become the global leader in food cutting technology.

Affinity Integra Dicer

Designed to meet the challenges of difficult-to-cut products, the Affinity Integra Dicer excels at processing applications such as cheese or soft meats, meats with high-fat content, cold temperature products, sticky bakery ingredients, or products like brined pickles. The dicer’s clean-cutting action achieves high yields of precise, targeted cut sizes well within customer parameters.

Comitrol Processor Model 1700

Urschel - Comitrol® Processor Model 1700

As the most versatile machine in the Comitrol line, the Comitrol Processor Model 1700 offers many high-capacity reduction possibilities for unlimited production, including comminuting, granulating, milling, flaking, slicing, liquefying, dispersing, and pureeing. The machine utilizes 6" (152.4 mm) diameter reduction heads available in the three different styles. Product input is then determined by the selected head, the spacing within the head, and selected impeller. Several different feed assemblies and discharge options are also available. 

The Comitrol Processor Model 1700 is built with stainless steel for easy cleanup and maintenance to ensure maximum durability and sanitation. An HMI option is now available to identify misaligned sensors, soft start faults and fixes, total machine runtime, motor loads and overfeeding issues, and remote start/stop when connected to a control center.

Comitrol Processor Model 3600F

Urschel - Comitrol® Processor Models 3600F

Both small volume and large-scale processors rely on the Comitrol Model 3600F to continuously granulate or puree applications for unlimited production. The machine is equipped with a 10 HP (7.5 kW) motor and a screw feeder controlled by a VFD (variable frequency drive) for positive feeding assistance. Common applications include rework of bakery items, beef/poultry/seafood and byproducts, and vegetable/fruit reductions. The 3600F is commonly sold as a precutter used in conjunction with the Comitrol Processor Model 1700.

As a leading food processing expo for almost two decades, FOOMA Japan offers 4 days of in-depth industry insight for attendees. The Urschel Japan selection at the show will demonstrate how seamlessly its machinery benefits high-capacity operations for continuous production. With the introduction of the new Little Gem Aspire Dicer, now even more solutions are available that offer ease of use, a compact design, and high overall performance.
