Severing apparatus (1) for severing a string of pasty foodstuff material, in particular of meat or doughs, into individual portions, comprising a movable and drivable severing knife (2, 2) having a knife edge (12), and at least one preferably stationary shear bar (8, 8) associated with the severing knife (2, 2). The knife edge (12) of the severing knife (2, 2) has a cutting edge (20, 20) which is at least portion-wise concavely curved in the longitudinal direction of the severing knife.

A cutting device for comminuting pasty substances, has a nozzle with a nozzle housing which has at least one inlet and one outlet. The inlet has an entry flow cross section through which the pasty substance enters the nozzle. The outlet has an exit flow cross-section through which the pasty substance exits the nozzle. A flow duct leads from the inlet to the outlet. A rotating cutting tool is disposed on the outlet for cutting the exiting pasty substance. The exit flow cross-section has the shape of a closed or interrupted annular gap which is formed by a central member within the nozzle and an internal wall of the flow duct. The central member in the conveying direction of the pasty substance increases in terms of the cross section.

A cutter head assembly for a fiber roving chopper includes a cylindrical blade cartridge extending axially between a cartridge first end and a cartridge second end. The cylindrical blade cartridge includes a first surface that extends between the cartridge first and second ends and is angled with respect to a central axis of the cylindrical blade cartridge. A second surface extends between the cartridge first and second ends parallel to the first surface and the second surface faces the first surface. A blade body extends between the cartridge first end and the cartridge second end and is disposed between the first surface and the second surface.

Apparatus for cutting products, comprising: a base; a cutting head rotatably fitted to the base; an impeller adapted for rotating concentrically within the cutting head to urge products fed into the cutting head towards the circumference of the cutting head by means of centrifugal force; an impeller drive mechanism for driving the rotation of the impeller at an impeller rotational speed setting the centrifugal force; and a cutting head drive mechanism for driving the rotation of the cutting head at a cutting head rotational speed which is greater than the impeller rotational speed.

A rotary cutting device comprising an anvil and roll having at least one knife affixed thereon, the roll being rotatably mounted to the machine by bearings disposed on opposing ends of the roll and supported by bearing mounts connected to the machine frame. A thermal isolating mounting arrangement orients the bearing mounts so that thermal growth occurs along an axis generally perpendicular to a plane in which the knife and anvil interface. A thermal isolator may also be disposed between the bearing mounts and the machine frame to further inhibit heat transfer into the frame and the resultant effect on knife position.
