An assembly is provided for turning a food product into slices of food product. The assembly includes a microbial treatment assembly configured to move the food product along a path, and a microbial intervention apparatus configured to substantially reduce an amount of microbes on an exterior surface of the food product while the food product is traveling along the path, a slicing machine downstream of the microbial treatment assembly, the slicing machine being configured to slice the food product into slices, an enclosure in which the slicing machine is positioned, the enclosure being sealed from outside atmosphere, and a microbial treatment apparatus in communication with the enclosure and configured to deter the growth of microbes on the food product.

A measuring device is releasably received within a winding core of a customer roll wound on a slitter-winder (10). The measuring device (20) is releasably fastened within the winding core by fastening element(s) (21) securing the device to the winding core (10) for rotation during winding of the fiber web around the winding core to form the customer roll. Eccentricity of the customer roll as it is wound is determined from movement, speed and/or acceleration data received from at least two sensors of the measuring device and data is stored for use in unwinding the fiber web from the customer roll and serving as control information. Tension variations in unwinding can thus be anticipated and premeditative steps taken to ensure smooth running of the fiber web in unwinding in further processing.

A method for realising articles having a predetermined area and aesthetic appearance, which includes using frames (1A, 1B, 1C) to each of which a portion (P1, P2, P3) of material having a prevalent flat extension can be removably hooked, comprising, in order, following steps: hooking a first portion (P1) of the material to a first frame (1A); carrying out, on the first portion (P1) hooked to the first frame, punching (G1) and stitching (G2) operations; carrying out, on the first portion (P1) hooked to the first frame (1A), cutting operations (G3) for defining a corresponding article (A) having predetermined area and aesthetic appearance defined by the combination of the profile of the article and by the mutual arrangement of the punching (G1) and the stitching (G2); releasing the article (A), and relative scrap (Z),from the first frame (1A).

In order to avoid a gap on both sides of a blade exit point, if an outer radius of a product caliber is smaller than an inner radius of a product opening in a cutting frame at this point, a contour of the cutting frame in this blade exit area is given a radius of curvature as small as the smallest product caliber to be expected.

A cutting machine head and a cutting machine are provided in the present invention. The cutting machine head includes a fixing plate, a cutter holder, a cutting component, a machine head lifting mechanism and a machine head rotating mechanism. The cutter holder is mounted on the fixing plate. The machine head lifting mechanism is connected to the cutter holder, and is used to drive the cutter holder to move up and down on the fixing plate. The cutting component includes at least two cutter head assemblies mounted on the cutter holder. The machine head rotating mechanism is connected to the cutter head assemblies for driving the cutter head assemblies to rotate. The rotating angle of each cutter head assembly of the cutting machine head can be controlled. The machine head rotating mechanism controls the cutter head assembly to rotate when the machine head is cutting, and the resulting cutting line has no flaws, which can ensure the integrity of the cutting pattern.
