A method for collecting, from a cut panel for obtaining predetermined articles, the articles and scraps generated by the cutting of the panel comprising following steps: making available a cut panel (P) in which predetermined articles (A) and scraps (S) are defined; having available an electronic processor; having available at least a cutting file in which the dimensions, positioning and orientation of the articles (A) and scraps (S) are defined; memorising the cutting file in the electronic processor; positioning the cut panel (P) on a support of a first station; removing, in accordance with the indications of the cutting file, at least one scrap (S) at a time from the cut panel (P) by separating the adjacent cut articles and/or scraps, without altering the orientation and mutual positioning of both thereof, with a subsequent transfer of the at least a scrap (S) into a scrap collecting station.

An automated container cutting apparatus configured to cut various sized rectilinear containers without unnecessary costs or lack of transportability. The automated container cutting apparatus includes a right angle transfer conveyor that positions a container in a first cutting position. The apparatus also includes a cutting mechanism configured to cut the container on two adjacent edges while in the first cutting position. The cutting mechanism further includes two cutting elements supported at right angles to one another for horizontally cutting a container on two adjacent edges.

A cutting machine with improved log feed channels includes a plurality of feed channels of logs, a blade assembly for cutting logs, and a discharge assembly of final rolls and head and end trims, wherein every feed channel includes a clamp and a plurality of pushers, chain-moved, for feeding the logs in the clamp, wherein every feed channel includes a pair of chains and every pusher is jointly connected to both the chains of the pair of chains, wherein every chain of the pair of chains has a closed-loop extension defined by four pinions, describing an upper feed branch, a descent branch, a lower return branch and an ascent branch of the pusher.

A meat processing system comprising a blade, a blade movement assembly, a controller and a conveyor. The blade is configured to cut a carcass into pieces and lies substantially in a blade plane. The conveyor is configured to move the carcass along a first axis. The controller is configured to control the blade movement assembly to rotate the blade or a portion of the blade to vary an angle between the blade plane and the first axis. The blade movement assembly may also be configured to translate the blade to move the blade transverse to the first axis. A method of operating a meat processing system is also disclosed. The method includes conveying a carcass or section of carcass along a first axis, controlling a blade movement assembly to rotate a blade or a portion of a blade to vary the angle between a blade plane and the first axis, and cutting the carcass or section of carcass into pieces.

A cutting apparatus for cutting off or slicing meat products, in particular bacon or fresh meat products, comprises a product feed that is configured to guide at least one first product and at least one second product simultaneously into a cutting region, which includes a first rotating blade and a second rotating blade for cutting off or slicing the products into smaller pieces. In this respect, the product feed has a first conveying means for guiding the at least one first product into the cutting region and a second conveying means for guiding the at least one second product into the cutting region, wherein the first blade is associated with the first conveying means and is provided for cutting off or slicing the at least one first product, and wherein the second blade is associated with the second conveying means and is provided for cutting off or slicing the at least one second product.

An apparatus for machining a ski includes a support for the ski and a device for conveying the ski in the longitudinal direction of the ski, along the support. The support is assigned a device for machining the side walls of the ski using at least one cutting tool, which is arranged on a tool carrier, the latter being guided adjustably in a direction transverse to the conveying direction and parallel to the support, and which, with the aid of a resilient actuator for the tool carrier, can be positioned, with resilient prestressing, against that side wall of the ski being conveyed along the support which is to be machined.

A cutting apparatus for cutting off or slicing meat products, in particular bacon or fresh meat products, comprises a product feed that is configured to guide at least one first product and at least one second product simultaneously into a cutting region, which includes a first rotating blade and a second rotating blade for cutting off or slicing the products into smaller pieces. In this respect, the product feed has a first conveying means for guiding the at least one first product into the cutting region and a second conveying means for guiding the at least one second product into the cutting region, wherein the first blade is associated with the first conveying means and is provided for cutting off or slicing the at least one first product, and wherein the second blade is associated with the second conveying means and is provided for cutting off or slicing the at least one second product.

A produce cutting apparatus is utilized, among other things, for making single cuts in an elongated produce product to trim ends, segment the product into variable length segments, make fixed length segments, and cutting out undesirable portions of the produce product. Using a combination of a feed belt, sensor, radial cutter apparatus and programmable controller, the apparatus precisely locates each cut. The cutting blade makes a single cut with each rotation of the radial cutter apparatus. The apparatus may further have a piece removal system and a product holding system.

A cutting unit (8) configured to make chains of articles having a desired number of articles in each chain of articles.

In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus comprises: (1) a track with specifically designed conveyor blades for cutting; (2) a motor for conveying the conveyor blades over each other; (3) a tumble blade to gently move or tumble the flowers over the conveyor blade; and, (4) trimmed flower excavation chute for collecting trimmed buds.
