Providing a cutting area with web-like interleaver material

A method for a multitrack provision of web-like interleaved sheet material at a cutting region in which products supplied on multiple tracks are cut into slices and interleaved sheets are introduced which are cut off from the provided interleaved sheet material in the cutting region and for which a normal length is predefined which is dependent on the respective application,

• in which material webs are removed from at least two material stores which are each associated with one or more tracks;
• and
• in which the material consumption of at least one material store is impacted during operation in that the length of the interleaved sheets is varied in the respective track or tracks with respect to the normal length at least for this material store.

An apparatus for the multitrack provision of web-like interleaved sheet material at a cutting region in which products supplied on multiple tracks are cut into slices and interleaved sheets are introduced which are cut off from the provided interleaved sheet material in the cutting region and for which a normal length is predefined which is dependent on the respective application, wherein at least two material stores are provided which are each associated with one or more tracks and from which the individual material webs can be removed;

• and wherein the material consumption of at least one material store can be impacted by an internal or external control device during operation in that the length of the interleaved sheets is variable in the respective track or tracks with respect to the normal length at least for this material store.

An apparatus for a multitrack slicing of food products, having a product feed which simultaneously supplies a plurality of products to be sliced to a cutting region in which a cutting blade moves in a rotating and/or revolving manner to simultaneously cut the supplied products into slices;

• and having an apparatus for the multitrack provision of web-like interleaved sheet material at the cutting region in which products supplied on multiple tracks are cut into slices and interleaved sheets are introduced which are cut off from the provided interleaved sheet material in the cutting region and for which a normal length is predefined which is dependent on the respective application, wherein at least two material stores are provided which are each associated with one or more tracks and from which the individual material webs can be removed;
• and wherein the material consumption of at least one material store can be impacted by an internal or external control device during operation in that the length of the interleaved sheets is variable in the respective track or tracks with respect to the normal length at least for this material store.
