Abstract: In order to keep anticaking agent—related dead times of a slicing machine as low as possible, excess anticaking agent suspended in the air is sucked off by a suction unit so that as little as possible is deposited on parts of the machine which subsequently have to be cleaned frequently, and/or instead of a single reservoir, several different reservoirs are used, which are switchable in their connection to a spray opening to be supplied, whereby it is easy to switch from an empty to a full reservoir, while the change or refilling of the emptied reservoir can be carried out without dead time during a cutting operation.

Abstract: To minimize contamination by an anticaking agent of parts of a slicing machine located away from a slice to be produced or already produced by the slicing machine, only a corresponding main surface of the slice is coated with the anticaking agent, if possible. For which purpose, an actual anticaking agent image on the main surface is automatically determined and compared by a control with a predetermined target anticaking agent image and, depending on this, a spray direction and spray distance of the spray opening from an application point are automatically corrected by the control.

Abstract: In order not to have to set a folding shaft or another folding device correctly in many attempts for each new order, as many as possible of parameters influencing the folding process, be they folding parameters, cutting parameters and/or product parameters, which have produced a satisfactory actual shape of the folding of the slice and/or the shape and position of the portion produced therefrom in a processed order, are stored as a data record and, in the case of a new order, the parameters specified there are compared with corresponding parameters in the data bank in the data records and the data record most similar thereto is selected, the remaining parameters of which are then set, on the slicing machine for execution of the new order. This can be done partially or completely automatically, for which, controllable control elements for each parameter are changed.
