Device and method for cutting a strip made of a deformable material

Abstract

The application relates to a separate device for cutting a strip made of a deformable material, having a transport device, through the separating device along a transport direction and a cutting device for cutting the strip along a cutting surface using a cutting blade, which runs downwards from above diagonally in the transport direction through the strip lying on the transport device. The transport has a depression in the region of the cutting device in order to receive the cutting blade when cutting the strip, wherein the beginning of the depression defines a first edge when viewed in the transport direction, and the end of the depression defines a second edge when viewed in the transport direction. The transport device is suitable for raising the first edge relation to the second edge after cutting the strip until the tip of the strip part which is not cut off has been transported over the second edge by the transport device.
