Water bearing and food cutting assembly with magnetically rotated cutting head

A food cutter assembly comprising:

• a spindle body defining an interior passage for receiving a cut food product, the interior passage extending along a rotational axis of the spindle body;
• a first thrust disc fixedly connected to the spindle body;
• a second thrust disc fixedly connected to the spindle body;
• a cutting tool connected to an end of the spindle body for cutting the food product, the interior passage positioned adjacent the cutting tool to receive the cut food product from the cutting tool;
• a magnet fixedly connected to the spindle body between the first thrust disc and the second thrust disc, the magnet positioned external to sealed fluid-containing areas of the food cutter assembly;
• a housing for rotationally mounting the spindle body, the housing including a first radial bearing to be positioned proximate to the first thrust disc and a second radial bearing to be positioned proximate to the second thrust disc when the spindle body is rotationally mounted to the housing, wherein the spindle body and the housing define first fluid passages extending from a first port in the housing through the first radial bearing to the spindle body, and second fluid passages extending from a second port in the housing through the second radial bearing to the spindle body;
• and
• a pulley mount coupled to the housing remote from the magnet, the pulley mount including:
• at least one magnet magnetically coupled with the magnet fixedly connected to the spindle body, the pulley mount configured to rotate the magnet about the rotational axis without physical contact with the magnet or the spindle body;
• and
• a stationary shaft coupled to the housing, the stationary shaft having a structural portion positioned between the magnet coupled to the spindle body and the at least one magnet magnetically coupled with the magnet fixedly connected to the spindle body.
