SYSTEM FOR CUTTING STRIPS USING HELICAL KNIVES AND CORRESPONDING CUTTING METHOD
The cutting system is configured to cut a continuous strip which extends lengthwise in a longitudinal direction and widthwise between a first edge and a second edge into strips. The cutting system includes a drive device which imparts to the continuous strip a feed speed, a first cutting roller and a contrarotating second cutting roller that cooperate to cut the continuous strip across its full width. The first cutting roller is provided with a first helical blade and is driven in rotation A variable synchronizer makes it possible to select and to modify the synchronization ratio between the rotational speed of the first cutting roller and the non-zero forward speed of the continuous strip in such a way as to be able to adjust the cutting angle according to which the cross-section of the continuous strip is oriented with respect to the longitudinal direction of the continuous strip.
CUTTING APPARATUS
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.

ADJUSTABLE BLADE ASSEMBLY FOR A FOOD PROCESSOR
An adjustable blade assembly includes a threaded hub coupleable to a drive shaft of a food processor and a slicing plate slidably mounted on the hub. A slicing blade couples to the hub above a first surface of the slicing plate for cutting food introduced into the food processor. A cannulated support collar couples to the hub and includes a plurality of detents. A slicing adjustment sleeve rotatably couples to the hub and to the support collar to move the slicing plate up and down relative to the hub, thus changing a selected distance between the slicing plate and the slicing blade. As the user rotates the slicing adjustment sleeve, a plunger housed inside the slicing adjustment sleeve engages the plurality of detents on the support collar, thus providing tactile feedback to the user and maintaining the slicing blade in the desired position relative to the slicing plate.
Cutter assembly and fruit and vegetable cutter using the cutter assembly
Disclosed are a cutter assembly and a fruit and vegetable cutter using the cutter assembly. The cutter assembly includes a rotating shaft assembly, a forward-rotating blade and a counter-rotating blade. The rotating shaft assembly has a first mandrel and a first outer shaft. The end of the first mandrel and the end of the first outer shaft are each provided with a first transmission part coupled to a drive device; the blades are respectively arranged in the shaft assembly and perpendicular to the rotating shaft assembly; one blade is coupled to the first mandrel, and the other is coupled with the first outer shaft, so that the blades can be driven by the rotating shaft assembly to rotate in two opposite directions at the same time. The fruit and vegetable cutter includes a fruit and vegetable cavity, the cutter assembly and a driving device for driving the cutter assembly.

Corrugated paperboard box making machine
A machine for making corrugated paperboard boxes form corrugated paperboard sheets includes a slotter device with a blade that forms slots in the corrugated paperboard sheet. The machine can handle various sizes and configurations of corrugated paperboard sheets and can determine if the blade of the slotter device has a suitable length to form slots in each of the various corrugated paperboard sheets, using parameters including a circumferential length (N) of the slotter cylinder and dimensions (E, F, G) of the corrugated paperboard sheet.
PIVOTING LOADING TRAY ASSEMBLY FOR FOOD PRODUCT SLICING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF USE
A food product slicing apparatus is configured to slice food products into slices. A load assembly pivotally is mounted on a frame and a food product is positioned thereon. A drive assembly on the frame receives the food product from the load assembly and moves the food product relative to the frame. The load assembly can be positioned in at a first, lowered position relative to the drive assembly, a second, partially raised position relative to the drive assembly and a third, fully raised position relative to the drive assembly. The drive assembly engages the food product when the load assembly is in the third, fully raised position.
BLADE ASSEMBLY AND COUNTERWEIGHT MECHANISM FOR A HIGH-SPEED FOOD SLICING APPARATUS, AND METHODS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SAME
A food slicing system includes a hub fixedly secured to a drive shaft and configured to rotate with the drive shaft. The hub has a central pilot projection coaxial with the drive shaft, and flat, blade contacting surface surrounding the pilot projection. A counterweight is eccentrically mounted to the hub and rotatable between a first position and an second position relative to the hub. Wherein when the counterweight is in a first position, the counterweight is in axial alignment with pilot projection, and permits the blade to be attached to or removed from the hub via movement of the blade in the axial direction. When the counterweight is in the second position, the counterweight is eccentric to the pilot projection and is offset from the axis of rotation, to provide a predetermined amount of weight offset from the axis of rotation to counterbalance the weight of the blade.
FOOD PRODUCT GRIPPING ASSEMBLY FOR A FOOD PRODUCT SLICING APPARATUS
A food product slicing apparatus is provided for slicing food products into slices. A frame mounts a drive assembly, a lower feed roller, a shear bar and a slicing blade. The drive assembly moves the food products onto the lower feed roller. The food product passes over the lower feed roller and through the shear bar for slicing by the slicing blade. At least one upper feed roller is mounted on the shear bar and is adjustable in position relative to the lower feed roller.
