A mandoline slicer includes a slicing ramp with a rearward and forward portion defining an opening. A main slicing blade is mounted to the forward slicing portion. A spiral slicing insert is configured to fit within the opening, and includes a circular support, a spindle, and a spiral slicing blade positioned inside the circular support. In some versions, the insert is invertible, having a second spiral slicing feature on a lower side.

A method includes using a feed system to feed a tubing holder toward a cutting system. A plurality of sections of tubing are coupled at intervals along a first spine of the tubing holder, each of the plurality of sections of tubing extending away from the first spine in a direction that is transverse to a feed direction of the feed system. The method also includes using the cutting system to cut a first section of tubing of the plurality of sections of tubing. The cutting system cuts the first section of tubing at a plurality of locations to separate a plurality of subsections of the first section of tubing.

A conveying device for conveying a rubber member extruded in a curved state from an extrusion device, the device including a support and a plurality of rollers which are spirally arranged around the support to constitute a spiral conveying path and which rotate while supporting a lower surface of the rubber member, wherein an outer diameter of each of the rollers increases from one end to the other end in an axial direction, the one end being rotatably fixed to the support, and the plurality of rollers include drive rollers which rotate and drive.

A spiral slicer for producing spiral-cut fruits and vegetables, includes a main body supporting a shaft operated by a crank handle. Rotation of the crank handle selectively moves a pusher, which attaches to a fruit or vegetable toward a set of julienne blades and a main slicing blade. The fruit or vegetable is cut by the julienne blades and then by the main blade, with the sliced portion passing through a gap positioned between the julienne blades and the main blade.

A food 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.

A mandoline slicer includes a slicing ramp with a rearward and forward portion defining an opening. A main slicing blade is mounted to the forward slicing portion. A spiral slicing insert is configured to fit within the opening, and includes a circular support, a spindle, and a spiral slicing blade positioned inside the circular support. In some versions, the insert is invertible, having a second spiral slicing feature on a lower side.

A hand held spiralizer includes two housing portions pivotally joined to one another to allow the housing to open and close. A pair of handle portions cooperate to form a unified handle in the closed position. A main slicing blade extends along an interior sidewall for spiral cutting, while a set of julienne blades is mounted for selective pivotal movement for optional use.

The invention relates to a device for chopping food, having a base part which has a receptacle for a cutting part, and having an actuating part which is fixable to the base part in an articulated manner such that the actuating part is pivotable toward the cutting part in order to push through an item to be chopped. The device is distinguished in that the actuating part is pivotable toward the cutting part in order to push through an item to be chopped, characterized in that the device has at least one chopping tool in the manner of a sharpener.

A superabsorbent polymer hydrogel chopping device is provided. The superabsorbent polymer hydrogel chopping device includes a barrel body having a transfer space to which a hydrogel is transferred therein and a discharge portion through which the hydrogel is discharged is formed to face in a ground direction, a transfer unit installed in the barrel body and configured to transfer the hydrogel in the transfer space, a cutter member installed in the barrel body and configured to pulverize the hydrogel transferred by the transfer unit, and a perforated plate configured to discharge particles of the hydrogel pulverized by the cutter member to the outside of the barrel body.

A cutting device for spiral cutting a vegetable includes a mounting surface that engages the vegetable and is rotated using a motor, which causes rotation of the vegetable. The mounting surface may be moved toward a cutting surface using a lever arm that transmits only a portion of a manual force applied to the lever arm in a direction toward the mounting surface, facilitating precise movement of the mounting surface and a consistent size and shape of the resulting vegetable strands. Movement of the vegetable relative to the cutting surface may pass the vegetable through a slotted blade and a secondary blade. The spacing of cutters in the slotted blade determines the width of vegetable strands produced by the cutting apparatus, while the placement of the secondary blade determines the thickness of the strands. The position of the secondary blade may be adjustable to control the thickness.
