Abstract
The invention relates to a device for slicing foodstuffs. According to said method, a cutting blade (4) and a cutting edge part (3) form a cutting clearance and measures are taken to form an optimal cutting clearance, in particular a cutting clearance with a zero value, during each cutting operation, by means of an active or passive displacement of the cutting edge part (3).
Claims7
An apparatus for the slicing of food products such as ham, sausage, cheese and the like, comprising a cutting knife (4) which is driven in a rotating manner and/or circulates in a planetary manner and whose cutting plane extends perpendicular to a product support surface (2) of a product supply device (1), with the end of the product support surface (2) at the cutting knife side being formed by a cutting edge part (3) which forms a cutting gap together with the cutting knife (4),
- characterized
- in that the cutting edge part (3) is displaceably supported perpendicular to the cutting plane and is biased against an abutment (6);
- and
- in that the abutment (6) is positioned and the cutting edge part (3) is designed such that the cutting edge part (3) is at least contacted by the knife (4) in each knife passage against the applied bias and is in particular slightly deflected against the bias.
An apparatus in accordance with any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the cutting edge part (3) preferably consists of a plastic material or of steel.
An apparatus in accordance with any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the cutting edge part (3) has a total path of displacement in the range of approximately 2 to 3 mm on its guide (7).
An apparatus for the slicing of food products such as ham, sausage, cheese and the like, comprising a cutting knife (4) which is driven in a rotating manner and/or circulates in a planetary manner and whose cutting plane extends perpendicular to a product support surface (2) of a product supply device (1), with the end of the product support surface (2) at the cutting knife side being formed by a cutting edge part (3) which forms a cutting gap together with the cutting knife (4),
- characterized in that the cutting edge part (3) is displaceably supported perpendicular to the cutting plane and is connected to an active actuating device which is controlled in dependence on the movement and/or on dimensional characteristics of the knife such that, with each knife passage, the knife and the cutting edge part form a cutting gap which can be pre-set in size and in particular has the value of zero.
