A device (1) for processing foods includes a container (2) containing a dividing element (3, 4) for cutting through a food in order to produce a strip-shaped, spiral cut material, a housing (5) for accommodating the container (2), and a supporting element (6) for supporting the food, wherein the container (2) is rotatable in the housing (5). An intermediate space (7) is provided between the supporting element (6) and the dividing element (3, 4) in order to clamp the food, wherein the dividing element (3, 4) for cutting through the food is connected to the container (2), and therefore the cut material can be produced by the dividing element (3, 4) by a rotational movement of the container (2) and can be guided into an interior space (24) of the container (2).

An underwater line cutting tool includes a cutter. The cutter includes a blade holder and a rotating manipulator arm. The blade holder includes two stationary arms in a V-shaped configuration including at least one blade attached to one of two stationary arms. The blade holder is attached to the rotating manipulator arm of a rotating manipulator that is attached to an underwater remotely operated vehicle.

A method of manufacturing a custom sized plastic tote lighter in weight than heretofore known custom sized plastic totes is provided. The method comprises separating an injection molded tote into upper and lower portions by cutting the injection molded tote. A sleeve or middle portion of plastic material is secured to the upper and lower portions of the injection molded tote to create a custom sized plastic tote of a desired height. Alternatively, portions of different injection molded totes may be used to create a custom sized plastic tote. The sleeve may be made from different materials and may be made of multiple pieces.

A substrate processing tool is prevented from falling out of a tool holder. This substrate processing tool is a tool for attachment to a substrate processing apparatus. The substrate processing tool includes a tool main body, a blade edge portion, and an engaging portion. A holding portion that is to be held by the chuck portion of the substrate processing apparatus is formed in at least a portion of the tool main body. The blade edge portion is formed on one end side of the tool main body. The engaging portion is formed on the other end side of the tool main body, and protrudes farther than the surface of the tool main body.

A cutting apparatus and an associated method for slitting a tobacco sheet material into cut pieces used to form smoking articles are provided. The cutting apparatus includes a rotatable cutter assembly having a drum member configured to rotate about an axis defined thereby. The cutter assembly includes a plurality of knife members disposed about the periphery of the drum member and extending radially therefrom. A fixed counter-knife assembly is disposed adjacent to the periphery of the drum member and is configured to interact with the rotatable cutter assembly during rotation thereof about the axis. The counter-knife assembly includes a ledger member having a plurality of cutting insert members removably engaged therewith. The cutting insert members are configured to interact with the knife members during rotation of the cutter assembly with respect to the counter-knife assembly so as to slit the tobacco sheet material received therebetween into cut pieces.

An apparatus for cutting polymer includes a rotor having a base with a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The rotor includes an outer annular wall extending from the first side and defining a number of slots, an inner annular wall defining a number of slots and extending from the first side and surrounded by, and spaced apart from, the outer annular wall. The rotor also includes blades extending from the first side and positioned within the inner annular wall. A circular-shaped stator also defines a number of slots. At least a portion of the stator is positioned in a space between the outer annular wall and the inner annular wall of the rotor.

Bread slicer allowing a loaf of bread (2) to be packed in a bag, comprising a loading compartment (1) which is connected to a receiving compartment (6), a pushing member (5) which allows the bread (2) to be pushed in a movement direction of the bread and means for keeping a packing bag (13) open. The slicer comprises an abutment element (19) for reducing the cross-section of the bag (13) at the location of the abutment element (13) so that the portion (21) of the bag with a reduced cross-section forms an abutment for the end of the sliced bread.

A spiralizing device that cuts vegetables into elongated strands. The spiralizing device includes a base that connects to a kitchen utensil, and a cutting blade for contacting the cutting the vegetables. The spiralizing device is an accessory that connects to and receives power from the kitchen utensil.

Methods and apparatuses for cutting food products. The apparatus includes an annular-shaped cutting head having at least a first mounting frame surrounding a central axis of the cutting head and a plurality of cutting tools arranged around the central axis of the cutting head and pivotably coupled to the first mounting frame such that each cutting tool has a pivot axis. The method includes deflecting each cutting tool about its pivot axis by engaging first portions of the cutting tools in proximity to the first mounting frame to deflect the first portions a first radial deflection distance relative to the central axis and engaging second portions of the cutting tools to deflect the second portions a second radial deflection distance relative to the central axis. The first and second radial deflection distances can be adjusted individually or in unison.
