Abstract
A circular cutting machine is described which is characterised in that a product supply carriage, into which the guide for the material to be cut, the feed device and means for holding the material to be cut are integrated, can be switched over between an operating position and a retracted position by means of an actuating unit, thus permitting the product to be guided right-up to the immediate vicinity of the cutting knife. A change-over between the operating position and the retracted position can also be obtained by corresponding displacement of the cutting plane.
Claims5
A circular cutting machine for cutting up food products comprising a basic frame on which are arranged, with adjustable inclination, a cutting head having a circular knife which rotates in planetary manner, and a product supply unit including a carriage, a guide for the product to be cut, means for holding the product to be cut, feed means for advancing the unit towards the circular knife, an actuating unit for momentarily changing the relative position between the means for holding the product and the cutting plane of the knife over a predetermineable stroke, and a positioning member disposed between the carriage and a carriage hinge for the actuating unit for displacing the carriage hinge of the actuating unit, the positioning member comprising a piston-in-cylinder arrangement having a stroke amounting to a fraction of the stroke of the actuating unit, the piston-in-cylinder arrangement being controllable independently of the actuating unit.
