Portable linear transformer for laminated gypsum boards, that comprises a central module (2) in a structure having a converting bridge (4) where different converting tools (5) are located, preferably incorporated on a runner (19) that allows to fasten them in different positions by means of screws with knob (20). The central module (2) preferably shows the precision calibration rollers, one of input (6) and the other of output (7), on which the board (P) to be converted slides and the lateral modules (3) with a series of easels (8), with carriage rollers (9) on which the said board (P) is supported and also slides, coplanar to the said input (6) and output (7) rollers. Preferably, the linear and hand-held converting machine also comprises two lateral modules (3) that are fastened on both sides of the central module (2).

A system may include a chute, a plurality of hoppers, a bun-advancing system, a blade, and a bun-stopper system. The plurality of hoppers are attached to the chute and include outlets in communication with a channel of the chute. The bun-advancing system is configured to move a food product from one of the hoppers to the channel of the chute. The blade may be disposed in the channel and may be configured to reciprocate relative to the chute. The bun-stopper system may include an actuator and a stopper. The stopper may be disposed vertically above the blade. The actuator may be configured to move the stopper between an extended position where the stopper extends into the channel to prevent the food product from contacting the blade and a retracted position where the stopper is retracted from the channel to allow the food product to move into contact with the blade.

The present invention is an apparatus and method for cutting individual label strips from a roll of label web utilizing a cutter assembly. A label cutter comprises a cutter assembly for continuously and independently controlling the rotational speeds of a rotating cutter shaft, a stationary shaft, and a label feed roller is provided. The length of the label strip is controlled by the distinct speed of rotation of a stationary knife, the stationary knife is rotatably coupled to the stationary shaft. At least one cutter blade is operatively associated to the rotating cutter shaft for cutting the label web. The stationary knife rotates with a to speed of rotation different from the speed of rotation of the cutter blade to produce longer or shorter label length strips. The frequency at which the cutter blade meets the stationary knife is inversely related to the length of the label strip that is produced during cut off.

An object of the present invention is to improve throughput of continuous printing in an image printing apparatus having a cutting device that needs to be returned to a standby position for a next cutting operation. One embodiment of the present invention is an image printing apparatus having a printing unit, a conveyance unit capable of conveying a printing medium in a conveyance direction or in a returning direction opposite to the conveyance direction; and a cutting unit provided at a cutting position on a downstream side in the conveyance direction of the printing unit and configured to cut the printing medium by moving in a first direction and return to a cutting standby position for a next cutting operation by moving in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

A blade assembly is disclosed. The blade assembly includes a mounting ring, at least two elongate cutting blades, and a substantially circular central support positioned substantially at the center of the mounting ring. Each cutting blade may have a proximal end connected to the mounting ring. Each cutting blade may extend from the mounting ring toward a center of the mounting ring. Each cutting blade may be twisted along a length of the cutting blade. A distal end of each cutting blade may be connected to the central support.
