Slice cutting machine with removably connectable tray

An electrically operated slice cutting machine for separating slices from strand-shaped products, the slice cutting machine comprising:

• a machine housing, which holds a drive motor and a rotating cutting blade configured to be driven by the drive motor, and having a storage region arranged in a region of the cutting blade, having an essentially planar tray configured to receive separated slices, the tray being removably coupled to the machine housing or to an attachment part of the machine housing by a coupling device, the tray being coupled in a horizontal operating position during a cutting operation, and being movable in at least one removal position, in which the tray is configured to be released and removed from the coupling device, when outside of the cutting operation,
• wherein the coupling device has an upper and a lower coupling arm, and
• wherein both coupling arms form a coupling recess, which is open on one side, along a longitudinal direction, for coupling the tray,
• wherein the coupling device is designed such that the tray is insertable directly, without an intermediate piece, into the coupling recess and, in an operating state of the slice cutting machine, the tray extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the coupling recess and a top surface of the tray contacts the upper coupling arm and a bottom surface of the tray contacts the lower coupling arm,
• wherein the coupling device and/or the tray have or form a fixing device configured to horizontally fix the tray in its operating position,
• wherein the fixing device comprises a fixing pin and a fixing recess,
• wherein either:
• the fixing pin is formed or positioned on the tray and the fixing recess is formed or positioned on the coupling device, or
• the fixing pin is formed or positioned on the coupling device and the fixing recess is formed or positioned on the tray, and
• wherein the fixing pin or the fixing recess is formed in the coupling device between the upper coupling arm and the lower coupling arm, wherein the slice cutting machine further comprises a weighing device, the weighing device comprising an attachment part, and wherein the tray is configured to be coupled to the weighing device by the coupling device.
