Abstract: A cut food piece formed in the shape of a helical split ring (10) having a predetermined number of spirals by means of first piercing a series of slots in the whole food product by penetration blade assembly (248) prior to urging the whole food product into engagement with cutter blade assembly (200) having wheel plate (202) rotating about central axis (206). Said cutter blade assembly (200) further having a plurality of ring cutters (208) attached to and extending normally out from wheel plate (202) for cutting continuous concentric helical spirals in the whole food product. Shear blade (210) extends angularly out from wheel plate (202) for cutting concentric helical spirals of food product off the whole food product.

Abstract: A cutter blade assembly (100) for producing elongated string cuts of food product using a hydraulic cutting apparatus where the elongated string cuts produced are free from feather cuts and compression cell damage, and further have small cross-sectional areas. The cutter blade assembly (100) is constructed from a front inlet adapter plate (101) having an inner longitudinal passageway therethrough shaped to form a conical converger (102). Pyramidal knife supports (103, 104, 105 and 106), are attached in opposing pairs around conical converger (102) to the back of front inlet adapter plate (101) to form a pyramidal frame. A plurality of strip knives are attached in a staggered perpendicular interlocking arrangement to form a sequential cutting grid.

Abstract: A conveyor transport system for delivering fruits or vegetables to a longitudinal passageway (22) defined by two sets of opposing endless loop conveyor chains (24). A plurality of tensioner assemblies (30), which have two opposing pairs of independently acting chain sprocket assemblies (70 and 100), are provided to independently tension each set of conveyor chains (24) along both an x and a y axis so that each individual food product, regardless of shape and size, is subjected to uniform chain tension. Each pair of opposing chain sprocket assemblies are interconnected to a single cam ring (34 and 52), such that displacement of one chain sprocket by food product results in reciprocal and equal displacement of the other opposing chain sprocket, thus facilitating centering of the food product as it is delivered to cutter blade assembly (200).
