A method of cutting a wafer of composite core from a bulk composite core including the steps of placing the bulk composite core in a container, the bulk composite core having a plurality of tube members; depositing a potting compound in contact with an outer surface of the bulk composite core; curing the potting compound; and after curing of the potting compound, cutting through each of the tube members. A method of cutting a wafer of composite core from a bulk composite core, the method comprising the steps of stabilizing the bulk composite core by wrapping an exterior of the bulk composite core with a composite wrap, the bulk composite core having a plurality of tube members; curing the composite wrap; and cutting through each of the tube members.

An installation (I) for cutting food products in the form of elongated loaves (P). The installation includes at least one assembly (E) with at least one chute or magazine for receiving a loaf (P). The chute has the form of an elongated compartment configured to receive the loaf (P) via its open upper end, with the possibility of sliding so as to direct it towards and beyond its open lower end. A generally horizontal tray is arranged at a distance from the lower end of the chute with a cutting blade arranged near the tray. A displacement mechanism alternatively guides the lower end so that said blade interacts the loaf and executes its cutting. Also included is a storage unit (S) and a mechanised and/or automated unit for picking-off at least one loaf (P) from the storage unit (S) and for transferring and loading it in the chute.

The invention relates to an elongate profile extending in a longitudinal direction and having a first end and a second end, wherein between the first end and the second end the profile has at least one cutting line forming a cutting pattern for at least one profile section to be removed from the profile, wherein after removal of the at least one profile section from the profile the first end of the profile is bendable towards the second end of the profile and/or vice versa.

A method of cutting a wafer of composite core from a bulk composite core includes stabilizing the bulk composite core with a fixture, the bulk composite core having a plurality of tube members. The method also includes cutting through each of the tube members to create the wafer while the bulk composite core is stabilized by the fixture.

The present invention relates to an installation (I) for cutting food products which are in the form of elongated loaves (P) and which comprises: at least one assembly (E) comprising at least one chute (1) or magazine for receiving a loaf (P) of food product, this chute (1) having the form of an elongated compartment, generally directed from top to bottom, and configured to receive said loaf (P) via its open upper end (11), with the possibility of sliding so as to direct it towards and beyond its open lower end, under the effect of its own weight; a generally horizontal tray, arranged at a distance from the lower end of said chute (1), and a cutting blade arranged near this tray; displacement means of said assembly configured to alternatively guide said lower end near said tray so that said blade interacts with said loaf and executes its cutting.

It is especially characterized in that that it comprises on the one hand a storage unit (S) of food loaves (P) and on the other hand mechanized and/or automated means (5; 6) for picking-off at least one loaf (P) from said storage unit (S) and for transferring and loading it in said chute (1), via its open upper end (11).

A mechanical cutting device cuts twisted strips of foods such as potatoes. The device comprises twisted cutting tubes, each having a ring secured at a distance from the cutting end. A plurality of such tubes may be arranged in an array, which may be supported by plates having an array of tube-supporting orifices. The cutting tubes are supported for rotation in such manner that, when force is exerted on the tubes to insert the tubes into the food, the tubes rotate as they cut into the food obtaining as result twisted strips of food.
