Abstract
The slicing machine, primarily for sliced meats, has a code reader, particularly a bar code reader, available in the vicinity of its goods slicing carriage which reliably determines the goods code for the sliced goods during the slicing process and fetches a programmed price per unit weight from a data memory of a weighing device. The price per unit weight is fed to a processor which determines the price of the goods being weighed or the retail price from the weight measurement. The delivery tray of the slicing machine can be a weighing tray of a weighing device built into the slicing machine. An indicator and/or a charge slip printer can then automatically print the total price that must be paid.
Claims3
In a sliced-goods slicing machine for sliced goods, especially for sliced meats, comprising a goods slicing carriage and a delivery tray formed as a weighing tray of a weighing device, the improvement wherein a code reader is provided in the vicinity of said goods slicing carriage for detection of a code on said sliced goods during the slicing process and a memory for among other things a price per unit weight and a processor connected with said weighing device for determination of data such as retail price, total price of a group of portions of said sliced goods or the like and an indicator and/or a charge slip printer are connected to said code reader.
A sliced-goods slicing machine for sliced goods, primarily for sliced meats, comprising:
- a goods slicing carriage on which said sliced goods are generated;
- a weighing device with a weighing tray which receives said sliced goods;
- a bar code reader for reading a bar code in the vicinity of said sliced goods during the slicing process;
- a memory in which a price per unit weight of said sliced goods is stored, said memory being connected to said bar code reader for input said price per unit weight;
- a processor connected to said weighing device, said memory and said bar code reader for computation of a retail price and/or a total price of a group of portions of said sliced goods;
- and
- an indicator and/or a charge slip printer for said retail price and/or said price per unit weight and/or said total price of a group of portions of said sliced goods.
