  • Patent number: 5704265
    Abstract: A versatile high speed slicing machine moves first and second food loaves along parallel loaf paths into a slicing station where both loaves are sliced by a cyclically driven knife blade. There are independent loaf feed drives so that slices cut from one loaf may be thicker than slices from the other. The conveyor/transfer system onto which food loaves are deposited as cut includes a receiver located below the slicing station; a lift mechanism moves the receiver down during slicing so that slices always fall about the same distance after being cut. The receiver includes a plural-belt horizontal receiver conveyor with recieving pin wheels located between the belts that periodically discharges groups of food loaf slices onto a deceleration conveyor, from which the groups are fed onto a multi-belt scale conveyor. The scale conveyor is aligned with two receiver weighing grids, each grid including plural grid elements interleaved one-for-one with the scale conveyor belts.

  • Patent number: 4151772
    Abstract: A machine for continuously conveying slabs of meat, such as bacon, to a revolving blade and slicing same into accurate, weight controlled groupings, preferably by control of the conveying system. The machine has a plurality of longitudinally spaced, generally transversely extending rollers and a plurality of finger means mounted on the front roller that is adjacent to the blade, but rearward of the front roller, to apply downward and rearward forces to the conveyor supported slab to positively control the slab travel to, and particularly adjacent, the blade.
