Some examples of a cable cutting system include a first cutting apparatus that includes a recess to receive a cable. The system includes a second cutting apparatus separate from and attached to the first cutting apparatus. The second cutting apparatus includes multiple cutting surfaces arranged to cut the cable received at the recess.

A product slicer incorporating an automatic slicer engagement mechanism attached to a carriage assembly and configured for quick, safe, reliable, and releasable engagement with a belt to provide powered automated slicing, and disengagement to allow manual slicing.

A housing has a first end and a second end, an inner surface of the housing defining a channel that is configured to slidably receive therein a food product. A food product motivating mechanism is configured to engage a food product, the food product motivating mechanism being slidably receivable in the first end of the housing, the food product motivating mechanism and the housing being configured to cooperatively slidably urge a food product from the first end of the housing toward the second end of the housing. A rotating cutting mechanism is removably attachable to an outer surface of the second end of the housing, the rotating cutting mechanism being configured to rotate about the second end of the housing, the rotating cutting mechanism being further configured to cuttingly engage a food product.

An apparatus for ventilating a web of material used in the manufacture of pocketed springs may be removably attached to a pocket coiler. The apparatus has an upper movable portion which pivots relative to a stationary portion. The stationary portion may be removably attached to the pocket coiler. Each portion has at least one roller, a web of material passing between the rollers during use. One of the rollers may have protrusions to create openings in the material before the material enters the pocket coiler.

A noodle strand cutting apparatus for cutting gelatinized noodle strands used in manufacturing of instant noodles is provided with: a conveyer for conveying at least one bundle of the gelatinized noodle strands; and a rotary cutter arranged above the conveyer and intended to cut, to a predetermined length, the at least one bundle of the gelatinized noodle strands conveyed on the conveyer in a substantially horizontal direction. The rotary cutter is provided with a plurality of blades that extend side by side with a rotational axis in radial directions around the rotational axis, the plurality of blades being spaced from each other in a circumferential direction by predetermined intervals.

A tool for flash-trimming and/or cleaning a component, comprising a shaft and a processing element mounted on the shaft such that it can be removed, the processing element being designed as a flexible cord and being received on the shaft such that, in an operational state, it bulges radially outwards in at least some sections as the rotational speed of the shaft increases; the invention also relates to a processing system along with this tool

A system for recycling a component of a battery assembly includes a removal tool and a cover of the battery assembly. The cover includes a component removal zone configured to be removable from the cover by the removal tool to expose the component and a locator identifying the component removal zone for removal by the removal tool.

A mechanical part-stream sampler includes a housing positionable over a conveyor belt from which material is to be sampled. The housing encases one or more cutter arms and adjustable cutters. The cutter arms rotate 360 degrees such that the cutters extract a sample of material from the conveyor belt and deposit the sample in a discharge chute in the housing for later analysis. A programmable logic controller and human machine interface screen can be used to operate the sampler and to control the timing and speed of the cutter arms.
