Abstract: The invention relates to a cutting device and method for cutting prefabricated transverse seal seams of a tube composed of plastic film and filled with food, particularly soft cheese, wherein each transverse seal seam of the continuously supplied film tube to be processed separates one portion of the food from the next portion. The device comprises a rotating knife holder provided with at least one knife blade 22, and wherein the knife blade 22 acts on a counter bearing 4 when cutting a transverse seal seam, wherein said knife holder has a heating element for heating the knife blade 22 in a targeted fashion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for cooling a flowable melted food material including: (a) providing a device comprising a first cooling belt and a second cooling belt parallel to the first cooling belt, wherein each cooling belt is continuous and has an outer surface and an inner surface, the first and second cooling belts are aligned at an angle between 45° and 90° relative to horizontal, and the outer surface of the first cooling belt and the outer surface of the second cooling belt are spaced apart to form a gap having a top end and a bottom end; (b) introducing a free-flowing molten food product capable of forming a food product having a pasty consistency is cooling at the top end of the gap; (c) counter-rotating the first and second cooling belts toward each other at the top end of the gap to draw the molten food product between the downward moving outer surfaces of the first and second cooling belts to form a strip of molten food product between the downward-moving outer surfaces of the first and sec
