A system and method relating to a slicer system, the slicer system includes a slicer that includes a slider blade, a first motor configured to rotate the slicer blade, an in-feed table configured to hold the product and move, while the product is sliced by the slicer blade; an out-feed table configured to receive a sliced portion of a product, in response to the slicer blade slicing the product, at least one second motor, each of the at least one second motor configured to move the out-feed table in at least one direction; and at least one processor configured to cause the sliced portion of the product to be received on the out-feed table in a predetermined shape by controlling the at least one second motor to move the out-feed table while the slicer is slicing the product.

The present invention discloses that the weighing of produce sliced by a slicer needs to be weighed in order to meet the desired amount of sliced product. In an improvement of the art, the platform for catching slices of produce is also the platform of a scale positioned directly underneath the platform. In addition, automatic stop can be used to allow for automatic slicing of a desired amount of product.

A yard waste clearing device includes a horizontal cross-flow fan blade assembly. The cross-flow fan blade assembly is disposed in a housing that operated in concert to produce an airflow from an inlet portion of the housing, through the cross-flow fan blade assembly, and out an outlet portion with a sufficient flow rate to carry plant matter shredded by the cross-flow fan blade assembly to a storage element such as a disposable yard waste bag. A vertical chute from the outlet portion carries the shredded plant matter up to the opening of the yard waste bag so that the yard waste bag may be held vertically, utilizing the available storage space more efficiently.

A label cutter including a blade having a curved cutting edge configured and arranged to move towards a platen in order to cut a label material placed between them. The label cutter has a force applicator arranged and configured to apply a force to a portion of the blade in the direction of the platen. The label cutter includes an actuator operatively coupled to the force applicator and operable to cause the force applicator to move. The force applicator is moveable in order to, in use, apply a force to consecutive portions of the blade in the direction of the platen so as to provide a rolling engagement between the blade and the platen. A label issuing device including a label cutter is also provided.

A chip cutting system for use in loading, cutting, and packaging stacks of tortillas. The chip cutting system can include a loader, a vertical loading system, a processing line, a plurality of cutting stations, a sleeving area, an inversion portion, and an output portion.

A controller of a cutting apparatus obtains cutting data and specifies a pressure value corresponding to pressure to be applied to an attaching portion by a pressure changer during cutting processing for cutting a workpiece using a cutting blade based on the cutting data and a target range defining target positions of the attaching portion in a fifth direction. While causing the pressure changer to apply, to the attaching portion, the pressure corresponding to the specified pressure value, the controller executes the cutting processing by controlling a first moving mechanism and obtains the position of the attaching portion in the fifth direction. If the obtained position of the attaching portion is out of the target range, the controller changes the pressure value to another value and executes the cutting processing while causing the pressure changer to apply, to the attaching portion, the pressure corresponding to the other value.
