A cutting device is provided. The cutting device has a body which forms the structure of the device. A slot is formed by the body along the length of its bottom face. The slot is inset as a channel along the length of the bottom face, extending from front to back of the body. A cutting blade spans the channel at a distance above the bottom face and below a top of the channel. In a method of use, a material may be positioned in the slot, and the body may be drawn across the material (or material drawn through slot). The blade may then cut the material as it passes through the channel.

A food spiral cutting machine, suitable for cutting fruits or vegetables into a continuous spiral or julienne. The spiral cutting machine includes a base, a drive unit, a screw, a cutter assembly and a locking device; the drive unit comprises a motor, a gearbox and an open drive nut; the gearbox comprises a planetary gear reduction group and a pair of bevel gears, a first bevel gear connects to the output of the planetary gear set, and the first bevel gear drives a second bevel gear which is provided with a spline inside the gear center hole. The first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear at right angle. An open drive nut rests on the underside of the screw. A screw is provided with a slot along the screw axis. The spline of the second bevel gear keys with the slot of the screw. When the second bevel gear is driven by the motor via the planetary gear set and the first bevel gear, the spline in the second bevel gear turns the screw. As the open drive nut meshing with the screw is stationary, the screw rotation results in linear movement of the screw along the screw axis. The distal end of the screw is fitted with a spikey disk, where there is a center pin and circumferential spikes such that fruit or vegetable can be supported and butted against the cutter assembly. By the simultaneous rotation and linear movement of the screw, the required motion to spirally cut fruit or vegetable is realized.

An elastic self-positioning pre-dicing device and method, the device includes a V-shaped self-positioning device, a cutter and a separation device; the V-shaped self-positioning device includes first and second elastic conveying faces which form a V-shaped conveying space, and materials are kept in a vertical state when arriving at a bottom end between the two elastic conveying faces with the conveying of the faces; the cutter is arranged at the bottom end between the two faces to cut the materials in half along a long axis; and the separation device is arranged at the lower part of the cutter and configured to convey the materials cut in half to next stage respectively. This overcomes the defects of low efficiency in manual dicing of seed potatoes and waste of seed potatoes. The half-cut seed potatoes will be conveyed to next intelligent dice identification station to ensure high utilization of seed potato production.

A method for horizontally splitting rolled-up web material in the sample thickness. A carbon fiber nonwoven is moved in relation to a knife structure in order to split off a layer or successively several layers from a roll web. The one layer or several layers are continuously removed in the form of a roll from the carbon fiber nonwoven after the splitting process.

An apparatus for cutting slices from a food product includes a vertical housing defining a barrel that receives an elongated food product. A rotatable blade apparatus is disposed beneath the lower end of the housing and has a planar guide with a slot. A first blade is mounted to the top surface of the guide with a sharp blade edge adjacent the slot and facing radially outwardly. Drive means rotates the rotatable blade apparatus into the food product to form slices. A substrate is disposed beneath the rotatable blade apparatus for receiving slices formed by the rotatable blade apparatus. The substrate may be a pizza crust and the food product may be a pepperoni stick.

An apparatus for cutting capsules is disclosed as including an engaging portion rotatable together with a spindle, the engaging portion including an axially protruding projection for abutting on an inner protrusion of the cap in a circumferential direction, and a contact surface for abutting an inner central region of the cap, the contact surface and the abutting surface being movable to take a phased angular orientation configuration with respect to a cutting device for cutting caps and an axial holding configuration.

A cap is disclosed in which the inner protrusion has a preset angular position with respect to a circumferential score on a side wall of the cap.

A method for cutting a cap is disclosed including the steps of: leading the projection to a circumferential abutment on the protrusion, leading the contact surface to an axial abutment against the inner central region, and scoring the cap by means of the cutting device.

A cutting apparatus and method are disclosed for making an anti-tamper device of a closing capsule of a container, in which the capsule is fed to a cutting device whilst the capsule is retained between a locking member and a base opposite the locking member, with an annular abutment that is arranged around a rotation axis of the locking member and which is moved from a insertion position in the capsule, before the capsule is cut, to an abutment position, in which the abutment presses the capsule against the cutting device, the abutment being rotatable around a rotation axis that, when the abutment is in the abutment position, is misaligned with respect to the rotation axis of the locking member.
