Slicer and method for its layout

A slicer for slicing at least two product calibers simultaneously into slices, wherein the product calibers can have a qualitatively identical product contour, surfaces of which, as well as radii of curvature thereof in non-straight regions, vary between a minimum value and a maximum value, the slicer comprising:

• a cutting frame with at least two product openings, whose inner contours lying perpendicular to an axial direction have a radius of curvature at least in some areas,
• a cutting unit with a blade, which is movable in a transverse direction to the axial direction directly in front of the cutting frame for cutting off slices of the product calibers,
• wherein the blade, viewed in the axial direction, is configured to leave the contours of the front product openings on a blade side, in each case at a blade exit point,
• wherein the inner contour of each of the product openings of the cutting frame at least in a blade exit area of the inner contour has a radius of curvature which deviates from a radius of curvature of a product contour of a smallest product caliber of the product calibers or of a specified radius of curvature lower limit in the blade exit area by a difference of at most +/−5%,
• wherein the blade exit point for each of the product openings lies in the respective blade exit area,
• wherein the radius of curvature of the blade exit area of each of the product openings is smaller than the radius of curvature of the product contour of the smallest product caliber or the specified radius of curvature lower limit in the blade exit area, and
• wherein an area of each of the product openings corresponds at least to an area of a product caliber, of the product calibers, with a maximum large cross-sectional area.
