A food processing attachment for a food processing device includes a rotational adapter configured to be selectively coupled with a drive system of the food processing device. A food holder is coupled to the rotational adapter and having a base, wherein the food holder is selectively rotated by the rotational adapter. A central spear extends perpendicularly from a center of the base. A plurality of radial flanges extend perpendicularly from the base, wherein each radial flange of the plurality of flanges is discontinuous with the other radial flanges, wherein the central spear and the plurality of radial flanges are adapted to secure a food item in a processing space and in communication with the rotational adapter. A blade is coupled to an operable carriage and is adapted to selectively engage the food item within the processing space to remove at least a portion of the food item.

A collapsible horizontal vegetable processor comprises a base (1) and a cutter frame holder (13). The cutter frame holder is detachably provided with a replaceable cutter frame (2). The base is provided with a sliding rail mechanism. The base comprises a fixed portion (11) and a collapsible portion (12). The cutter frame holder (13) is arranged on one side of the fixed portion, and the collapsible portion is arranged on the other side of the fixed portion. The sliding rail mechanism is slidably provided with a sliding seat (4). The sliding seat is provided with a sliding seat frame body (5) and a handle (6). Pressing teeth (51) used to fix vegetables and a rotating operation device (52) are arranged at the top of the sliding seat frame body. The sliding seat is driven by the handle to move on the sliding rail mechanism. The base of the vegetable processor is collapsible, thereby greatly reducing an occupied space.

There is described an inline cutting system comprising an extruder having an outlet, an outlet line connected with the extruder outlet. The outlet line comprises a side wall surrounding an internal passage. Cutting means is arranged in connection with the outlet line. The extruder is arranged for continuously producing a meat analogue product and the extruded string of meat analogue product is cut into meat pieces by the cutting means. The cutting means is extending through the side wall of the outlet line and extends inside said internal passage. The cutting means comprises at least one cutting edge which is pointed in a substantial axial direction of the outlet line in order to establish a cutting in the longitudinal direction of the string of meat analogue product. The extruder and the outlet line forms a closed enclosure upstream of the cutting means.

The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus and related methods (i.e. utilities) for trimming plants, in particular, buds and flowers, to remove unwanted plant material. A typical application would be to process a plant to leave only trimmed buds and flowers for use in potpourri, fragrant sashes, or as a prelude to further processing of essential oils. The utilities enable faster and safer production of plant material than prior plant processing machines. The utilities employ a coaxial drum and cutting element that counter rotate. This coaxial cutting element typically includes a plurality of cutting elements, to create a plurality of cutting interface that shear unwanted plant material form plant material within the drum and then collect this debris though, for example, a vacuum system. The use of the counter-rotating cutting interfaces allows for multiplying the cutting interfaces over prior existing machines.

One variation of a system for buttering and toasting bread buns includes: a butter stage including: a vessel containing liquefied dairy fat and defining a permeable surface, a pressure supply fluidly coupled to the vessel, and a first paddle assembly configured to catch a bun crown dispensed into the butter stage, to compress a sliced face of the bun crown directly against the permeable surface, and to release the bun crown from the butter stage; and a toast stage including a toasting surface arranged vertically below the permeable surface, a heating element arranged behind the toasting surface, and a second paddle assembly arranged vertically below the first paddle assembly and configured to catch the bun crown released from the first paddle assembly, to compress the sliced face of the bun crown directly against the toasting surface, and to release the bun crown from the toasting surface.

A removable motor housing for a plant material trimming device. The removable housing may include a first motor housing connectable to the plant trimming device. The first motor housing may be slidably or pivotably connectable to the plant trimming device. The first motor housing may be operable to receive an output shaft from a first motor in the first housing. The output shaft may be operable to communicate with an input shaft of the plant trimming device. A biasing device may be connectable to the first motor housing and the plant trimming device for biasing the first motor housing into a first position. When the first motor housing is in the first position a substantially constant force is applied between the input shaft of the plant trimming device and the output shaft of the first motor.
