Abstract
A band saw (1) for slicing e.g. deepfrozen fish blocks. The band saw comprises two drums (10) arranged on a frame (11) and at least two saw blades (12), which run over the drums beside each other. The saw blades pass through one or several parallel blade guiding units (13) where they are twisted or inclined a predetermined angle (x) relative to the axis of the drum. The guiding unit (13) comprises cylinders (25) having inserts (20-22) which positively guide the saw blades parallel to each other. The cylinders (25) are locked in place by washers (19), which are positioned and aligned by an alignment tool.
Claims6
A band saw for slicing a block of e.g. deep-frozen fish into several thin slices, comprising:
- two drums over which at least two endless band saw blades are adapted to run;
- an inclining means positioned between the drums for inclining the saw blades, said inclining means having a blade guiding unit including a block provided with bores, one for each saw blade, each said bore having a longitudinal axis parallel with the movement direction of the saw blades and receiving a respective one of said saw blades;
- a cylinder positioned in each said bore, each said cylinder having inserts of a hard metal for positively guiding said saw blades, each of said cylinders being pivotable and securable in a predetermined position for inclining each saw blade to a predetermined angle relative to the axes of the drums;
- and
- a washer secured to the block in association with each cylinder and in a predetermined angular position, each said washer having a planar surface, and each cylinder having a planar surface in cooperation with the planar surface on the associated washer in order to define the angular position of the cylinder.
