Device for slicing food products

An apparatus for slicing food products, comprising

• a rotor shaft which rotates about an axis of rotation and which is axially adjustable in operation;
• a rotor driven by the rotor shaft;
• a cutting blade, which is supported by the rotor, which revolves about the axis of rotation in a planetary motion and which additionally rotates relative to the rotor about a blade axis extending offset in parallel with the axis of rotation;
• a rotary drive for the rotor shaft;
• a rotational drive for the cutting blade comprising a rotationally driven or fixed-position drive shaft arranged coaxially with respect to the rotor shaft and by which a blade shaft of the cutting blade can be driven, the drive shaft extending through the rotor shaft formed as a hollow shaft to be in a shaft-in-shaft arrangement, the drive shaft extending into the rotor and cooperating with the blade shaft within the rotor, both the rotor shaft and the drive shaft at least partly axially adjustable;
• an axial drive engaging the rotor shaft and providing a common axial adjustment of the rotor shaft and the drive shaft;
• and
• a stationary feature comprising at least one of a housing, a housing wall, a frame part and a rack part, the shaft-in-shaft arrangement extending through an opening of the stationary feature, the shaft-in-shaft arrangement axially movable relative to the stationary feature,
• a combined axial and rotary bearing for the rotor shaft, the rotor shaft being rotatably and axially adjustable relative to said bearing,
• wherein said bearing comprises a fixed-position hub or is associated with a fixed-position hub, and
• wherein said hub is fixedly formed by the stationary feature or is fixedly supported by the stationary feature.
