Abstract: A blade mounting device for the mounting of blades, in particular, for skinning and stripping machines with a blade mount fixing (1), a blade support (3), a retaining strip (6) and a tensioning device (8) for holding the blade support and retaining strip together is disclosed. A swallow-tail shaped recess (17, 18) is provided across the total width of the facing surfaces of the blade support and retaining strip. A shaft (9), centrally mounted in the retaining strip (6) and eccentrically mounted in the blade mount fixing (1) serves as tensioning device.

Abstract: A flake ice machine and a method for the monitoring of a flake ice machine are disclosed. On opening the water inlet valve a clock is started and, after a certain filling time, the water inlet valve is closed, even if a sensor (6) in the evaporator trough (2) has not detected reaching the maximum fill level.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for cutting a piece of fresh whole-muscle meat into several slices having the same thickness and weight, which comprises a loading and pre-pressing unit (1) for accommodating and pressing the piece of fresh whole-muscle meat and a grading unit (2) for determining the thickness and the volume of the slices. The invention is also fitted with a slicing unit (3) arranged between the loading and pre-pressing unit (1) and the grading unit (2) to cut the piece of fresh whole-muscle meat (13) into slices (14) as determined by the grading unit (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a flake ice machine, comprising an evaporating cylinder (1) and an evaporating pan (2), wherein a sensor is provided to monitor the filling time of the evaporating pan (2), the production of ice and the water level of the water bath (3) available in the evaporating pan (2).
