Abstract: A slicing device for slicing a number of articles in one slicing operation. The device includes a frame, a plurality of horizontally disposed cutting blades mounted in the frame, a pusher pushing the article into the cutting blades, and a support positioned between the cutting blades and the pusher. The support is able to support, at least temporarily, the articles prior to slicing. A collector is positioned underneath the cutting blades for collection of the sliced articles. The collector includes first and second collection units for collection of the end and intermediate slices respectively. Further, a method for slicing the article into a plurality of slices, includes the steps of: slicing the article into a number of slices resulting in two end slices and a number of intermediate slices, the intermediate slices being of uniform thickness, and collecting the intermediate slices and the end slices.
