The invention described herein is directed to an inline spiral cutting food processor that includes a motor that rotates an upper positioned disc with a blade assembly by means of a belt or gear assembly or mechanism. The entrance and exit chute are fixed and positioned in-line with the axis of rotation of the blade supporting disc member. The entrance chute is positioned above the cutting disc, and the exit opening (or chute) is below. During operation a food item is pushed down the entrance chute as the blade rotates and cuts it. Cut food falls down through the opening or exit chute into a storage container or jar. The food cutting assembly is configured to generate spiral or helical food from vegetables.

A device (1) for cutting food includes a cutting unit having a rotatable carrier, a slicing knife associated with the carrier at one side of the carrier for slicing the food, and at least one dicing knife associated with the carrier at another side of the carrier for dicing the food. The cutting unit also includes a protection element that is disposed along a side of the carrier where the at least one dicing knife associated with the carrier is present. The protection element delimits a dicing space for the at least one dicing knife associated with the carrier to move through during operation. The protection element has at least one annular groove at a side for facing the carrier. The annular groove receives a free end of the at least one dicing knife associated with the carrier.

Machines and methods capable of producing diced products from a variety of materials. A stripper plate for such machines and methods has one or more slots sized to accommodate one or more circular knives of a circular cutter. The stripper plate has a base and an oppositely-disposed second surface. The slots are defined in the second surface and extend from the second surface to the base so as to define individual openings in the base. The slots are defined by multi-tiered walls so that the slots are wider at the openings thereof than in another portion of the slots.

The invention concerns a machine for cutting vegetables into different shapes lines, said machine comprising: holding means (9) which are configured to receive and hold at least one vegetable; cutting means (21) for cutting said at least one vegetable into lines, said cutting means (21) being located downstream from said holding means (9); and thrust means (6) which are movable according to a predetermined direction (S), to push at least one vegetable through said holding means (9) against said cutting means (21); wherein said thrust means (6), said holding means (9) and said cutting means (21) are substantially aligned along said predetermined direction (S); and wherein said holding means (9) or said cutting means (21) are respectively movable in rotation relative to said cutting means (21) or said holding means (9), such that said cutting means (21) operate on said at least one vegetable, forming at least one substantially filiform vegetable portion when said thrust means (6) push, when in use, said at least one vegetable against said cutting means (21).

A portable electric rotary slicer, which may have a handle, a blade holder configured to hold a blade assembly, and a pusher. The blade assembly may couple to the blade holder by a ring gear configured to fit concentrically around the blade assembly, allowing the rotary slicer to be operated at a high torque with relatively little electrical power being supplied. The rotary slicer may have a stand, a safety cylinder disposed around the blade assembly and configured to protect the user's fingers when pushing material into the blade assembly, and a divider disposed within the safety cylinder. To operate the device, a user may insert a blade assembly into the blade holder, place material directly above the blade assembly and under the pusher, activate the switch of the rotary slicer, and press downward with the pusher to force the material into the spinning blade of the blade assembly.
