Abstract
A method and a device for separating food products, including to permit a straight cut at high cycle rates, the food product is conveyed by a conveying device in the direction of transport. The food product is cut through, where a cutting element is moved in the direction of transport and transverse to the direction of transport, wherein the motion of the cutting element transverse to the direction of transport is controlled independently of its motion in the direction of transport and the food product does not rest on the cutting area on the conveying means.
Claims25
A method of separating food products, comprising:
- transporting the food product in a direction of transport with a conveying device,
- cutting through the food product, wherein a cutting element is moved through the food product and moved along with the food product in the direction of transport, wherein
- the motion of the cutting element is controlled into a first direction and, independent of this motion, into a second direction, and after the food product has been completely cut through, the cutting element is moved out of the food product and moves faster in the direction of transport than the food product which is moved towards the cutting element, such that the cutting element drives away from the food product in the direction of transport, and
- the food product does not rest on a conveying device in the cutting area.
