Industrial slicer having automatic adjustment of the position of the blades

An industrial slicer (1) comprising a cutting station (T) that includes:

• a plurality of blades (21, 22, 23) for slicing a food product (2), said blades (21, 22, 23) can be spaced apart and drawn closer to each other in pairs so as to vary their distances with respect to each other, so as to obtain slices of said product (2) having thicknesses corresponding to said distances;
• and
• adjustment means (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45) for adjusting said distances and comprising a plurality of adjustment devices (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35) that are adapted to act upon respective blades (21, 22, 23), of which at least two of said devices can be activated independently of each other;
• and
• wherein the blades (21, 22, 23) are made of a flexible and elastic material;
• wherein the cutting station (T) comprises a plurality of actuators (61, 62) arranged so as to move at least two adjustment devices (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35) independently;
• and
• wherein said actuators comprise electric motors (61, 62) and wherein the cutting station (T) includes a transmission means (6) that is connected to said motors and to said shifting elements (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35) and adapted to move the shifting elements in translational motion upon actuation of the motors so as to adjust said distance between the blades (21, 22, 23).
