A method for managing and separating a tongue from a tongue blank, wherein the tongue blank comprises a plurality of tongues, the method comprising:
- cutting a first edge of one tongue of the plurality of tongues from the tongue blank by rotating a first tool which comprises a cutting part and a protruding part,
- displacing the one tongue by the protruding part to a tongue queue,
- wherein the cutting part and the protruding part are fixed with respect to each other during the cutting and displacing,
- wherein a periphery of the first tool, at least from the protruding part to another part of the periphery of the first tool, has an increasing radius along a spiraling curved shape edge portion which includes the cutting part.
A device for managing and separating a tongue from a tongue blank, wherein the device comprises:
- a first rotatable tool with a curve shaped cutting edge configured to cut the tongue from the tongue blank, and
- a protruding part that protrudes from the cutting edge of the first rotatable tool, wherein the protruding part is configured to displace the tongue from a cutting position after the tongue has been cut from the tongue blank,
- wherein a periphery of the first rotatable tool, at least from the protruding part to another part of the periphery of the first rotatable tool, has an increasing radius along a spiraling curved shape edge portion which includes the cutting edge.
