The cutting device can be used to slice, make julienne strips, and/or dice food items. In dicing, preferably the horizontal slicer blade is retracted during a first pass of the slider past the julienne blades, and after the slider has been rotated by 90, during a second pass, the horizontal blade is erected to make the horizontal cut and complete the dicing operation. A slicing width adjustment is provided with a large diameter threaded member being adjustable to support a movable platform, with an adjustable locking mechanism to support the end of the platform nearest the horizontal cutting blade.

An improved food slice stacker is coupled to a meat slicer to automatically stack the slices from the slicer. The stacker includes a frame with a pair of spaced apart parallel supports that support a sprocket roller with axially spaced sets of sprocket teeth and a pulley roller with a plurality of axially spaced pulley members. The pulley members are aligned with the sets of sprocket teeth. A plurality of slice transport chains respectively engage the sets of sprocket teeth and the pulley members. The sprocket roller is motorized to enable the chains to transport food slices. The pulley roller is monolithically formed of a friction-free material to provide smooth surfaces that reduce retention of food particles thereon during washing.

A slicing machine may include a machine housing, which holds a drive motor for driving a rotating slicing blade. The slicing blade separates individual slices from preferably elongated foodstuffs, wherein these slices are deposited in a delivery area of the slicing machine. In the delivery area, a weighing device is provided, which determines the weight of the separated slices. To ensure that the slicing machine can be universally employed while having a compact design, it is provided that the slicing machine is of modular design in that the weighing device is configured as a separate modular unit, which can optionally be mechanically rigidly connected to the machine housing or can be removed therefrom.

The invention relates to a foodstuff-cutting device called a mandoline of the type comprising a moving blade support defining a cutting plane and moving in a reciprocating translational movement in relation to the foodstuff in accordance with an inverted configuration and having a sleeve associated with a plunger allowing foodstuffs to be inserted and kept in the pathway of the moving blade support remarkable in that it comprises a receptacle with a lid preformed with a passageway which, arranged transversely in relation to the travel of the moving blade support, receives a sleeve associated with the plunger thereby allowing food stuffs to be inserted and kept in the pathway of the moving blade support.

The present invention discloses a mandolin slicer kit assembly comprising: a main body having two opposite side panels; a cutting blade mounted on the main body; a slicing plate carrier mounted between the two side panels of the main body; a plurality of slicing plates of different types, each of the slicing plates having a plurality of slicing teeth mounted on a top surface thereof and at least one recess formed on a bottom surface thereof; and an adapter plate having a leading portion, wherein said leading portion has at least one elastic rib for detachable engagement with the at least one recess of the slicing plate to form a slicing plate assembly, and said slicing plate assembly detachably is mounted on the slicing plate carrier. The mandolin slicer further comprises a slicing plate holder separate from all of the main body, the cutting blade, the slicing plate carrier, and the adapter plate.

The invention relates to a food comminution device having a base part, which bears a cutting part, and having an actuation part, which actuation part is articulatedly fixed to the base part and can be pivoted from a loading position toward the cutting part into a closed position in order to push food items for comminution through the cutting part and can subsequently be pivoted from the closed position into the loading position again. The food comminution device is characterized in that the base part has the outer contour of a cuboid as its outer contour, and in that the food comminution device has a collecting container, and in that, on one face surface of the base part, there is provided an opening for the sliding-in of the collecting container into the base part, and in that the cutting part is arranged on a first side surface of the base part, which side surface is adjacent to the face surface, and in that the cutting part and the actuation part are constituent parts of a first comminution tool, and in that the base part is a constituent part of a further comminution tool, and/or at least one further comminution tool is fixed to the base part, wherein the further comminution tool is arranged on a further side surface of the base part, which further side surface is adjacent to the face surface, and in that the collecting container can be arranged in the base part selectively in a first position, in which said collecting container collects food items comminuted by way of the first comminution tool, or in a second position, which differs from the first position and in which said collecting container collects the food items comminuted by way of the second comminution tool.

The present invention relates to the field of food processors, and more particularly, to a slicing mechanism and the slicer using the slicing mechanism, wherein the slicing mechanism comprises the lower cover and the cutter components; wherein the cutter components are fixed to the rotating gear, which rotates in the lower cover; wherein the rotating gear and the cutter components are directly fixed, improving transmission efficiency and stability so that the slicing process has higher uniformity and quality.

Disclosed is an adjustable structure of a food slicer. A planer body includes an upper cutting plate and a back plate, a lower cutting plate is movably disposed on the planer body and at a front side of the back plate, the lower cutting plate is driven by the adjustable structure to move on the planer body to adjust a height difference between an upper plane of the upper cutting plate and an upper plane of the lower cutting plate. According to the present application, with the adoption of the meshing transmission of the sliding teeth and the gear, a linear motion in the up-down direction is converted into a lifting motion of the lower cutting plate in cooperation with the chutes, the transmission is stable and the adjustment is fast and convenient.

A food product slicer includes a base, a knife mounted for rotation, and a carriage assembly mounted to the base for movement back and forth past a cutting edge of the knife, with a tray is removably connected to a tray mount of a tray arm. A movable gauge plate is provided for varying slice thickness, and a gauge plate indexing assembly is provided for moving the gauge plate between a closed position and multiple open positions. An interlock assembly is provided between the tray mount and the gauge plate indexing assembly, wherein the interlock assembly comprises a tension only cable system that is configured to (i) prevent removal of the tray from the tray mount unless the gauge plate is in the closed position and (ii) prevent movement of the gauge plate out of the closed position when the tray is removed from the tray mount.
