摘要:
A cutting head for a centrifugal cutting apparatus includes a rim structure; and a plurality of cutting stations which are mounted onto the rim structure, each of said cutting stations comprising a cutting element for cutting food products at a leading end of the cutting station and a product sliding surface between the leading end and a trailing end of the cutting station. The cutting stations are assembled adjacent one another onto the rim structure in such a way that a gap is present between each pair of adjacent cutting stations through which a product slice exits the cutting head upon being cut by one of the cutting elements. The product sliding surface has a first wall curvature on a front part and deviates from the first wall curvature on a rear part.
摘要:
Impeller for a centrifugal food cutting apparatus, comprising a base plate and at least one set of paddle parts mounted on the base plate and provided for imparting centrifugal force to food products to be cut. Each set comprises inner and outer paddle parts defining at least a first stage and a second, cutting stage, the inner and outer paddle parts being offset from each other in radial and angular direction of the impeller, such that a safe compartment is defined for food product which is in the second stage.

Methods and equipment for producing shaped food products having large amplitudes, for example, sliced, shredded, and/or strip-cut food products. The methods and equipment utilize a cutting apparatus having at least two sequential knives at different radial positions in reference to radial distances of the sequential knives in radial directions of the cutting apparatus. Each sequential knife has a corrugated shape comprising peaks and valleys, and the sequential knives are arranged to be in phase or out of phase alignment with each other.

A grate for use in forming potato stick products having a wavy cross-sectional shape is provided. The grate includes a plurality of alternating convex segments and concave segments extending in a repeating pattern along a length of the grate. A plurality of spaced apart teeth extends from the plurality of convex segments and the plurality of concave segments. A distance between the spaced apart teeth defines a width of the potato stick products.
摘要:
Cutting head assembly for a centrifugal cutting apparatus, comprising a plurality of drum stations, at least one of which is a cutting station, provided for together forming a drum, and fixing parts provided for assembling and holding the drum stations together. The drum stations have overlapping parts with each time at least one receiving part for receiving one of the fixing parts, such that in assembled condition the adjacent drum stations are each time fixed to each other by means of at least one of the fixing parts at the overlapping parts of the adjacent drum stations.
摘要:
An impeller for use in a food cutting apparatus. The impeller is adapted to be mounted coaxially within a cutting head having one or more cutting knives disposed about a circumference thereof. The impeller is equipped with paddles such that, as the impeller rotates within the cutting head, the paddles force food product radially outward toward the stationary cutting knives of the cutting head. The paddles are equipped with grooves on at least one face thereof. The grooves preferably extend across the entire surface of the paddle face for the purpose of promoting the stability of the food product relative to the impeller.

A cutting apparatus for slicing potatoes includes an impeller hub block, impeller tubes radially extending from the impeller hub block, and a cutting assembly circumferentially surrounding at least a portion of the impeller hub block. The impeller hub block includes a potato holding area and an opening for receiving potatoes into the holding area. The impeller tubes have an entry aperture and an exit aperture, and a longitudinal length greater than about 5 inches. The impeller hub block is rotatable about a central vertical axis and each impeller tube is rotatable about its own longitudinal axis.
摘要:
A machine and process are provided for forming small, random sized potato pieces suitable for use in preparing potato hash browns and potato patties and the like. Blanched potatoes are chilled and then swept against a blunt edge resulting in shattering of each potato into relatively small, random-sized pieces. If desired, each blunt shatter-edge can be provided in a knife unit including one or more cross-cut knives to subdivide larger shattered pieces into a smaller size. The produced potato pieces are chilled as by freezing or by chilling to a refrigerated temperature for shipment and/or storage pending finish preparation.
摘要:
In a rotary cutting apparatus, including a rotary blade having a cutting blade on the outer circumference and rotating radially in one direction; a housing for accommodating the rotary blade; and a fixed blade in the form of a plate attached to the housing along the outer circumference of the rotary blade, for cutting objects protruding from the blade holes of the fixed blade into the housing by the function of the cutting blade of the rotary blade that comes into slide-contact with the inner surface of the fixed blade, the fixed blade is supported at only one end by hooking one edge of the fixed blade on an upstream side in a rotation direction of the rotary blade onto a hook protrusion, and attached so that it is freely displaceable in an in-plane direction and a direction crossing the plane.
摘要:
An improved cutting head for a food product on a slicing machine including upper and lower mounting rings, a plurality of cutter support segments connected to the mounting rings, a cutting blade attached to a front edge portion of each cutter support segment, and opposed first and second pivot pins extending from upper and lower portions of the cutter support segment and through the upper and lower mounting rings. Each of the pivot pins are positioned at a location closely adjacent to a forward edge of the cutter support segment and substantially near a cutting edge of the cutting blade.
