A cutting machine includes a circular knife and a grinding unit for grinding the circular knife, wherein the grinding unit can be adjusted to grind the circular knife at different angles.

A slitter apparatus comprises: a threaded shaft disposed to extend in a sheet-width direction; a rotor threadingly engaged with the threaded shaft; a frame rotatably holding the rotor and configured to be moved in the sheet-width direction by rotation of the rotor; and a processing module supported by the frame. The processing module is constructed by assembling together multiple components which comprise: a width-direction movement motor for rotating the rotor to move the processing module in the sheet-width direction; a slitter knife for slitting the corrugated paperboard sheet; a rotational drive motor for driving the slitter knife; and an up-down movement motor for moving the slitter knife in an up-down direction, wherein these components are configured to be integrally detached from the frame.

Device for controlling the sharpening state of a blade (2) having a cutting edge (20) delimited by two sides (21, 22) converging towards a plane (X) that contains the cutting edge itself. The device comprises two control surfaces each of which is in contact with a corresponding side (21, 22) of the cutting edge (20) and is connected with a transducer (R4), which produces an electrical displacement signal (S4) proportional to a displacement of the control surface with respect to said plane (X). Furthermore, the device comprises a processing unit (E) that receives said displacement signals (S4) and compares them, emitting an error signal if the comparison produces a value that exceeds a predetermined limit. The control surfaces are the surfaces that delimit an external groove (40) of a roller (4) that is free to translate along an axis (A4) perpendicular to said plane (X) and spaced from the blade (2) by an amount such that said cutting edge (20) passes in said groove (40).

The device comprises two control surfaces each of which is in contact with a corresponding side (21, 22) of said cutting edge (20) and is connected with at least one transducer (R1, R2, R4), which produces an electrical displacement signal (S1, S2; S4) proportional to a displacement of the control surface with respect to said plane (X). Furthermore, the device comprises a processing unit (E) that receives said displacement signals (S1, S2, S4) and compares them, emitting an error signal if the comparison produces a value that exceeds a predetermined limit. The processing unit is connected to means (101, 102) for supporting and moving sharpening means (100).

A food product slicer includes a base, a knife mounted for rotation about an axis relative to the base via a knife drive shaft, and a knife cover plate overlying regions of the knife. A monolithic mount part is provided that defines a first mount portion to which the knife drive shaft for the knife is mounted and a second mount portion to which the knife cover plate mounts, so as to establish a relative axial position between the knife and the knife cover plate.
