Publication number: 20150158194Abstract: A slicing blade system utilizing an advanced blade edge design optimizing the cutting angle, allowing symmetrical forces on both sides of the blade at the same time to improve slicing. The system includes a blade which includes a blade edge which has been optimized for efficiency and precision. The blade edge includes a front bevel extending a first direction from a bisectional line extending through its tip and a back bevel extending in a second direction therefrom. The blade edge has a cutting wedge angel between the front and rear bevels which ranges between 12 and 45 degrees, depending on the specific product being sliced. The blade's orientation may be altered with respect to the angle between the bisectional line of the cutting wedge and the cutting plane depending on the deformation of the product at the cutting point, the geographical location of slicing, and the desired thickness of slices.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2013Publication date: June 11, 2015Applicant: Knife Solutions, LLCInventors: Dieter Krauss, Mitchel LeBrasseur

Patent number: 6561069Abstract: The invention relates to a cutting device for products, in particular for cutting up foodstuffs. A blade driven by a drive shaft so as to rotate is provided which orbits a further drive shaft in a planetary path-like manner on a rotor driven by the further drive shaft. For a compact arrangement it is provided that the one drive shaft is designed as a hollow shaft and that the other drive shaft is guided therein.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2001Date of Patent: May 13, 2003Assignee: CFS GmbH KemptenInventors: Dieter Krauss, Alexander Joedecke, Roland Glänzer, Roland Kurtz, Ralf Peter Müller, Michael Allgayer

Publication number: 20020083816Abstract: The invention relates to a cutting machine for cutting up foodstuffs, particularly sausage, ham, bacon, meat, cheese and the like, with a cutting head disposed on a base frame (8) as well as a product delivery unit with a guide (7) for the product to be cut and a feed arrangement, wherein at the cutting end of the product (6) to be cut a holder (1) is provided which fixes and shapes the foodstuff (6) and which can be retracted from the blade (11) with the guide (7) for the product to be cut in order to prevent the formation of slivers with idle strokes.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2002Publication date: July 4, 2002Applicant: Dixie-Union GmbH & Co. KGInventor: Dieter Krauss

Publication number: 20020050066Abstract: The invention relates to a cutting blade, in particular a cutting blade for a cutting machine which slices food, the cutting blade being rotatably mounted about a fulcrum and the cutting edge arranged at the edge of the cutting blade being spiral in design and the cutting edge following the following functional correlation formulated in polar coordinates, at least in portions: r=f (&agr;). Here r describes the distance of the cutting edge from the fulcrum, &agr; describes the angular distance with respect to the zero line, in other words an angle, and f describes any mathematical non-linear function.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2001Publication date: May 2, 2002Inventor: Dieter Krauss

Patent number: 4137618Abstract: Spherical friction or sliding bearings are produced by first making a laminate from a layer of a thermosetting resin and a layer of material having a low friction coefficient. The thermosetting resin is used to impregnate a first web or fabric. The low friction coefficient material may be provided in the form of a further webbing or fabric, for instance, made of polytetrafluoroethylene. The thermosetting material may, for example, be a phenolic resin which is at this point of manufacture in its A-state and hence tacky. In order to permit the immediate further processing of the laminate with the thermosetting resin still in its tacky A-state, a dry adhesive film which neutralizes the tackiness, is applied to the laminate in sandwich formation which is then cut into pieces or strips of suitable size. The sandwich strips are then placed into a mold and pre-shaped and precision cut at room temperatures while the resin is still in its A-state.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 1977Date of Patent: February 6, 1979Assignee: Erma-Werke Waffen- und Maschinenfabrik GmbHInventor: Dieter Krauss
