Industrial slicer

An industrial slicer comprising a cutting station (1) that includes a plurality of blades (21, 22, 23) for slicing a food product, said blades (21, 22, 23) being spaced apart from each other by a cutting pitch, so as to obtain slices of said product having a thickness corresponding to the cutting pitch, the slicer being characterised in that it comprises adjustment means (5, 7, 3, 31, 41) for adjusting the distance between the blades (21, 22, 23),

• wherein said adjustment means (5, 7, 3, 31, 41) includes a plurality of movable shifter elements (31) that are associated with respective blades, said shifter elements (31) being able to change the cutting pitch according to the position thereof;
• wherein said adjustment means (5, 7, 3, 31, 41) comprises at least a first adjustment arm (3) provided with said shifter elements (31), said arm being mounted rotatable in the cutting station (1), so as to change the cutting pitch according to the angular position thereof;
• the slicer further comprising a second adjustment arm (3) spaced apart from the first adjustment arm (3), so as to define a crossing zone (Z) therebetween for said products, at which the blades (21, 22, 23) have an adjusted cutting pitch;
• wherein the adjustment arms (3) are specular with respect to an intermediate plane positioned in said crossing zone (Z) and wherein the adjustment means (5, 7, 3, 31, 41) comprises a mechanism (5) able to move the adjustment arms (3) synchronously so that they undergo angular displacements with same size and with opposite directions with respect to the relative axis of rotation (R1, R2);
• wherein said mechanism (5) comprises a lever element (51) that is centrally hinged so as to define two lever arms, and two connecting rods (52, 53), each connecting rod (52, 53) being rotatingly coupled with a respective lever arm at one end and with a respective adjustment arm (3) at the other end.
