Abstract: A slicing apparatus for a continuous slicing of products comprises a slicing unit having a movable cutting blade, a supply apparatus for a multi-track supply of the products to the slicing unit to cut off slices from the products and a removal apparatus for removing portions of cut-off slices along a transport direction. The removal apparatus has a first removal conveyor and a second removal conveyor arranged downstream of the first removal conveyor with respect to the transport direction.

Abstract: New methods, devices and measuring devices for slicing food are required for solving problems that occur with existing methods and devices and/or for reacting to changes to the food product being sliced. The devices include a blade for slicing food comprising a blade edge and a recess. The recess has a center point and may be employed for mounting and centering the blade on a slicing device. At least one dimension, D, of the recess is a length or diameter of the recess and preferably is at least 140 mm and at most 450 mm. The blade edge preferably has a radius, R, measured from the blade edge to the center point of the recess. The ratio of R/D preferably is less than 2.0 for every point on the blade edge.

Abstract: The invention relates to a slicing device (1) comprising a cutting blade (3) that cuts slices from the front end of a food product (8). A means (6) conveys the food product (8) in the direction of the cutting blade (3) and/or presses the food product against a support (7), and a gripper (9) grips the rear end (8.1) of the product. The invention further relates to a method for slicing a food product (8) that rests on a support (7), is conveyed in the direction of a cutting blade (3), and enters in contact with a gripper (9) at the rear end (8.1) of the product.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cutting blade for a heavy-duty slicing device, comprising a center of rotation and at least one fastening cavity for mounting the cutting blade on the heavy-duty slicing device. The invention further relates to a heavy-duty slicing device and a method for mounting a cutting blade on a heavy-duty slicing device.

Abstract: A blade for slicing food comprising: a blade edge and a recess, wherein at least one dimension of the recess is at least 140 mm and at most 450 mm.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for changing the upper and lower tool of a packaging machine. The invention further relates to a packaging machine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for slicing at least one food bar by means of a slicing device, in which method at least one food bar in in each case one lane is transported by means of in each case one transport means in the direction of a cutting blade which is driven in rotation and which, in a cutting plane at the front end of the food bar, severs food slices from the food bar, which food slices are combined into portions and transported away, wherein in order to generate the portion or transport the portion away, the cutting blade performs unproductive cuts during which the cutting blade is moved but no food slices are severed from the food bar.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for separating food slices from at least one food bar utilizing a rotating knife, wherein the food bar can be transported in the direction of the knife by way of at least one transporting means. The present invention further relates to a device for separating food slices from at least one food bar utilizing a rotating knife, wherein the food bar can be transported in the direction of the knife by way of at least one transporting means, and a knife for cutting open foodstuff. Said device comprises an oscillating sensor and/or a product sensor and the knife comprises a counter weight.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for slicing foodstuffs, in particular ham, sausage, bacon, cheese or similar. Said device comprises a housing with a product feed unit, on the end of which a cutting strip is situated. The strip comprises a cutting edge and a blade that is driven in a rotative or planetary manner. A cutting gap is configured between the cutting edge and the blade.

Abstract: The invention relates to a slicing device for slicing foodstuffs (1), in particular, sausages, meat or blocks of cheese with a rotating cutting blade (2), which may be displaced parallel to the rotation axis (3) thereof. The invention further relates to a method for the axial displacement of a cutting blade (2) and the use of axially-displaceable counterweights (4) for stabilisation of the action of a cutting blade (2) on a cutting machine, the use of the axial displacement of the cutting blade (2) of a slicing machine, for adjustment of the initial point and the use of the axial displacement of the cutting blade (2), for adjustment of the wheel gap between the cutting blade (2) and a cutting strip.
