OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Product of predetermined thickness is delivered onto a high speed feed belt [ 1 ]. This belt carries the product to the cutting unit. Product is pinched between a feed roll [ 2 ] and the drive roll [ 3 ] at the end of the feed belt. The feed roll, which is spring loaded and adjustable, allows product of varying thicknesses to move through the cutting unit without being crushed. Product is forced into circular knives [ 4 ] which run in narrow grooves in the rotating feed drum [ 5 ]. The circular knives cut the product into strips. The resulting strips are then removed from the circular knives by a stripper plate [ 6 ].
