The present invention relates to a metal card manufacturing method including the steps of: preparing a metal sheet having a given size capable of accommodating a plurality of individual cards; preparing a ferromagnetic insulating sheet made by containing epoxy in a ferrite to the same size capable of accommodating the plurality of individual cards as the metal sheet; preparing an inlay sheet on which antenna coils are printed to the same size as the insulating sheet and forming holes on at least one or more edges of stacked sheets formed by stacking a plurality of sheets inclusive of the insulating sheet and the inlay sheet; fitting the holes formed on the stacked sheets to pins located on a loading plate; placing the metal sheet on top of the stacked sheets; forming a metal card sheet through lamination among the metal sheet and the stacked sheets; and cutting the metal card sheet along individual card outlines of the plurality of individual cards.

The manual food processor includes a first shelf configured to receive a blade cartridge. The first shelf includes a first slider configured to selectively retain the blade cartridge at the first shelf. The manual food processor also includes a pair of guide rails extending from the first shelf and a second shelf slidable along the pair of guide rails. The second shelf is configured to receive a pusher block cartridge and includes a second slider configured to selectively retain the pusher block cartridge at the second shelf. The manual food processor also includes a handle mechanism operable to cause the second shelf to slide along the guide rails between an open position and a closed position. The first shelf is spaced apart from the second shelf in the open position, and the pusher block cartridge interfaces with the blade cartridge in the closed position.

A cutting apparatus includes a processing feed direction determining mechanism. The processing feed direction determining mechanism includes an imaging unit that images a region including a cut groove and a recording unit that records chipping data of the imaged cut groove. The recording unit records first chipping data of a cut groove formed by cutting a workpiece from a first direction, second chipping data of a cut groove formed by cutting the workpiece from a direction opposite from the first direction, third chipping data of a cut groove formed by cutting the workpiece from a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and fourth chipping data of a cut groove formed by cutting the workpiece from a direction opposite from the second direction.

The invention relates to a device for moving portions each comprising at least one slice separated from a food product, in particular by a slicing device, in particular by a high-speed slicer, having a plurality of individually movable transport movers for transporting portions, having a track system for the transport movers, in which the transport movers can be moved along at least one specified track in a transport direction and having a control device for controlling the movements of the transport movers in the track system, wherein the transport movers each comprise at least one runner cooperating with the track system and at least one portion carrier mounted on the runner, wherein for at least one sub-section of the track, in particular a section at risk of contamination, a discharge device is provided which is designed to at least intermittently discharge next to the section, contamination and/or incorrect portions originating from the foods, in particular occurring when cutting the food products and/or during handling of the portions.

An apparatus for cutting vegetable slices that includes a central impeller coaxially mounted with a cutting head for rotation about an axis within the cutting head for delivering vegetables radially outwardly from a center of the impeller toward the cutting head. A water jet spray device is mounted at the base of the impeller, aligned with the axis, and includes a raised mound having an outer wall surrounding an inner wall defining a central depression, the outer wall extending downwardly and outwardly from an annular rim between the central depression and the outer wall, and a plurality of substantially radially oriented channels serially provided around the raised mound, each channel extending outwardly from a channel inlet within the central depression to a channel outlet in the outer wall.

A tube cutter includes a main body, a holder slidably mounted on the main body, a guide bolt rotatably mounted on the main body to move the holder, two rollers pivotally mounted on the main body, a cutting wheel rotatably mounted on the holder and corresponding to the rollers, and two pivot shafts extending through the main body and the rollers. Each of the pivot shafts has a periphery provided with at least one oil storage groove, and each of the rollers is radially provided with an oil filling hole corresponding to the at least one oil storage groove of each of the pivot shafts. Thus, lubricating oil is filled between each of the rollers and each of the pivot shafts to provide a lubricating function.

The present disclosure related to apparatus and methods for removing waste of debris from a microtome blade, a microtome blade holder, or both. The invention also relates to automated systems and methods for cleaning a microtome.

Disclosed is a method for cutting chewing gum, the method including providing a chewing gum sheet to at least one cutting device; applying oil to said at least one cutting device; and cutting said chewing gum sheet via said at least one cutting device. Further disclosed is a method for cutting chewing gum, the method including providing a chewing gum sheet to at least one cutting device; cutting said chewing gum sheet via said at least one cutting device; and separating chewing gum from said at least one cutting device via a directing of compressed air onto said at least one cutting device.

Disclosed herein is a tape attachment apparatus comprising a tape feed unit configured to feed a tape to a battery cell; and a tape cutting unit configured to cut the tape fed from the tape feed unit, wherein the tape cutting unit comprises a cutter having a cutting blade with a larger width than a width of the tape and configured to cut the tape; a cutter elevation module configured to move the cutter in a Z-axis direction being perpendicular to a surface of the tape; and a cutter movement module configured to move the cutter in a Y-axis direction being perpendicular to a feeding direction of the tape.
