Abstract
A method for the slicing of food products, wherein at least one product is fed to a cutting plane in which at least one cutting blade moves, in particular in a rotating and/or revolving manner, by a product feed which comprises at least one conveying device. At least one multifunctional work unit is adjusted in dependence on the operating situation into a contact position, in which the work unit presses the product moving in the conveying direction toward a lower product support and/or toward a lateral product contact, or into a blocking position in which the work unit counteracts a movement of the product in the conveying direction.

A method for the slicing of food products, wherein at least one product is fed to a cutting plane in which at least one cutting blade moves in a rotating and/or revolving manner, by means of a product feed which comprises at least one conveying device;
- and
- at least one multifunctional work unit is adjusted in dependence on an operating situation into a contact position, in which the work unit presses the product moving in the conveying direction toward a lower product support and/or toward a lateral product contact, or into a blocking position in which the work unit counteracts a movement of the product in the conveying direction, wherein the work unit is adjusted into the blocking position before the start of the slicing to serve as an abutment for a front product end on a pressing action on a rear product end by means of a product holder of the conveying device, is subsequently adjusted into the contact position to press the product toward the product support and/or toward the product contact during the slicing and is adjusted back into the blocking position after the slicing.
