An apparatus for cutting potato slices, the apparatus comprising an annular-shaped cutting head and a central impeller coaxially mounted for rotation within the cutting head for delivering potatoes radially outwardly toward the cutting head, a plurality of knives serially mounted annularly around the cutting head, and a plurality of orientation elements serially and annularly mounted within the impeller to define a plurality of cutting zones located around the impeller, each cutting zone being between adjacent orientation elements, wherein radially inner parts of adjacent orientation elements are separated in circumferential direction to define between adjacent orientation elements a throat for passage therethrough of a potato in a radially outward direction into the respective cutting zone toward the cutting head, wherein the throat has a width of from 70 to 140 mm.

A hand-held slicing device having a handle connected to a slicing tray. The slicing tray includes a ramp leading to a fixed blade. The ramp is readily adjustable such that the height of the edge of the ramp most closely adjacent the blade can be raised or lowered. In one version, the ramp can be raised or lowered by sliding a support structure connected to a knob that can be slideably adjusted by the user's thumb. The device may include a series of julienne blades that are selectively extendable above the slicing ramp or retractable below the ramp.

A steering yoke cutting equipment with automatic transporting system which comprising a blanking press machine for cutting the yoke, a yoke input mechanism, intermediate transporting mechanism and a yoke output mechanism. The intermediate transporting mechanism which comprising a guide track, two sliding pieces slidably mounted the guide track, sliding piece cylinder, two sets of mechanical hands respectively fix mounted on the two sliding pieces; the yoke input mechanism and the yoke output mechanism are respectively arranged at two end of the intermediate transporting mechanism.
