Abstract
The invention concerns a vegetable product shredding apparatus comprising means (5) supplying vegetable products (20), a part ejecting (7) shredded vegetable products and an intermediate chamber (6) comprising a rotor (12) secured to several blades (10, 11). The rotor has several blades (12) in a plane perpendicular or inclined relative to the rotor pin (2) and at least another blade (11) offset about the rotor pin (2) and parallel thereto. The blades (10) are arranged into at least two rows of blades. Preferably, one row of blades (10a) is inclined in one direction and another row of blades (10b) is inclined in the other direction.
Claims11
1) A vegetable product shredding apparatus comprising means (5) supplying vegetable products (20), a part ejecting (7) shredded vegetable products and an intermediate chamber (6) comprising a rotor (12) secured to several blades (10, 11), characterized in that at least one blade (10) has a perpendicular or inclined plane with respect to the shaft (2) of the rotor and at least one other blade (11) offset about the shaft (2) of the rotor and parallel thereto.
5) An apparatus according to any one of the preceding claims, comprising about the shaft (2) of the rotor six blades or rows of blades comprising two opposed straight blades (11), spaced on opposed sides by two rows of blades (10), one of the rows being inclined in one direction and the other row in the other direction.
7) An apparatus according to any one of the preceding claims, in which the blades (10) have a triangular or trapezoidal cutting profile.
8) An apparatus according to any one of the preceding claims, in which the shredding of the vegetable products is obtained by the cooperation between the blades (10, 11) of the rotor and at least one counter blade (8).
9) An apparatus according to any of the preceding claims, in which the slant of the inclined blade(s) with respect to the shaft of the rotor is inferior to 45° and preferably ranges between 20 to 35°.
10) A method of cutting elongated vegetable. products, consisting in a slanted cut of one extremity of one side, and then on the other, followed by a transversal cut.
