The present invention relates to a method, a system (1), a cutting head (35), and a centrifugal cutter (27) for cutting an electroporated process-material (2a) into pieces (2b) of a specific nominal thickness. In order to enable cutting an electroporated process-material (2a) into cut pieces (2b) of uniform quality, the system (1) comprises an electroporator (3), a cutting device (4), the cutting gap (40) of which can be adjusted to a defined gap width (41), a measuring device (5) for detecting a measured thickness (tmeas) of the cut pieces (2b) of the process-material, and a controller (6) in which the nominal thickness and/or the set gap width is stored as a nominal size (tnom), wherein the controller (6) is configured to compare the detected measured thickness (tmeas) of the cut pieces (2b) with the nominal size (tnom), wherein, if the measured thickness (tmeas) of the cut process-material (2b) deviates from the nominal size (tnom), the controller (6) is further configured to output a control signal (17) compensating for the deviation to the electroporator (3) and/or the cutting device (4).
Method for cutting an electroporated process-material (2a) into pieces (2b) of a specific nominal thickness, comprising the steps of:
System (1) for cutting an electroporated process-material (2a) into pieces (2b) of a specific nominal thickness, comprising
Cutting head (35) for cutting electroporated process-material (2b) with an annular side wall (36) on which at least one cutting blade (37) is mounted, wherein said at least one cutting blade (37) extends from said side wall (36) inwardly such that a cutting opening (39) with a cutting gap (40) is formed between said side wall (36) and said at least one cutting blade (37), wherein a gap width (41) of said cutting gap (40) corresponds to the radial distance between said side wall (36) and a distal cutting edge (42) of said at least one cutting blade (37), and wherein said cutting head (35) comprises an actuatable adjustment mechanism (38) for adjusting said gap width (41), wherein said adjustment mechanism (38) comprises a movable adjusting element (43) connected to said cutting blade (37) in a force-transmitting manner, and a force transmitter (44) for moving said adjusting element (43).
