In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus comprises: (1) a box with specifically designed blades for cutting; (2) a motor for rotating the blades over each other; (3) a sweeper mechanism to gently move the flowers around the enclosure blade; and, (4) a brush mechanism to gently tumble flowers over the blade surface.

A food processor includes a bowl with a removable lid. Food items are advanced into the bowl through a feed tube formed in the lid where they are cut by a blade assembly. A rotating disk is adjustable relative to the blade assembly to vary the thickness of the food items cut by the blade assembly.

A food processing system includes a driving pulley, a driven pulley, a motor, a belt, and an actuator. The motor is configured to rotate the driving pulley. The belt is connected with the driving pulley and the driven pulley. The driving pulley is configured to rotate the belt. The belt is configured to rotate the driven pulley. The actuator is connected with the driven pulley. The actuator is configured to move the driven pulley relative to the belt between an extended position and a retracted position.

A process and system provides for atraumatic preparation of morcelized Tissue Particles (MTPs), such as Full Thickness Skin Graft Particles (FTSGPs), cartilage particles and other organ tissue particles, in a liquid medium. The resultant tissue product may be a suspension of Tissue Particles in an aqueous solution and containing highly viable cells and may be rapidly prepared at bedside or in the operating room and conveniently delivered to a patient through a syringe or similar applicator. The MTPs may be used for surgical applications including wound healing, cosmetic surgery, and orthopedic cartilage repairs.

Machine for forming spaghetti of vegetable products (19) comprisinga cutting unit (11) rotatable about an operating axis (A) and having a face (12), perpendicular to the operating axis (A), from which blades (13) protrude to form spaghetti from a product (19) that is pushed against the face (12);a supply device (14) comprising a thrust unit (15) having:two mutually opposite tape members (16, 17), which between them define a passage (18) for products (19) and can be spread symmetrically with respect to the operating axis (A);elastic means (20) connected to said tape members (16, 17) and configured to resiliently oppose a mutual divergence of said tape members (16, 17). The tape members (16, 17) are positioned and configured in such a way that the passage (18) extends along the operating axis (A) and has an outlet opening (18a) which faces the face (12) of the cutting unit (11).

A food product cutting system can include a food product carrier for carrying food product circumferentially around an axis of rotation, where the food product carrier includes food cutters each having a knife and a corresponding pusher. Each knife is for receiving and engaging with food product, and each pusher is slidably coupled with a knife and movable for pushing food product out of engagement with the food cutter. The food product cutting system can also include a track oriented generally circularly with respect to the food product carrier. The track can be arranged at varying radial distances from the axis of rotation and coupled with followers. Each follower can be connected to a corresponding pusher. In operation, food product moved into the knife of a food cutter and carried around the axis of rotation is incrementally pushed out of engagement with the food cutter by the corresponding pusher.

A blade (6) for underwater granulation of an extruded polymer, this blade has a plate (60) bounded by a contour including a cutting edge contour (61) having a first end (62) and a second end (63), and an outer contour (64) linking the first end (62) and the second end (63) of the cutting edge contour (61). The outer contour (64) has at least a first bearing portion (65) and a second bearing portion (66), the first bearing portion (65) and the second bearing portion (66) diverging while extending away from the cutting edge contour (61) and configured to be received in a dovetail housing (13).
