  • Publication number: 20210086385
    Abstract: The cutting machine includes at least one feed path for elongated products, wherein the elongated products move forward along a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal extension thereof. The cutting machine includes a rotating unit adapted to rotate around a rotation axis, carrying at least one first disc-shaped cutting blade and one second disc-shaped cutting blade. The rotation of the rotating unit causes an orbital movement of the first disc-shaped cutting blade and of the second disc-shaped cutting blade along trajectories intersecting the product feed path. The first disc-shaped cutting blade and the second disc-shaped cutting blade are offset from each other in a direction parallel to the product feed path. The first disc-shaped cutting blade and the second disc-shaped cutting blade are also angularly offset from each other with respect to the rotation axis of the rotating unit.

  • Patent number: 7946205
    Abstract: The device comprises at least a continuous movable flexible member (23) carrying a series of contact members (29, 29A, 29B) for the products (R; R1; RN) aligned with one another. A section of the movable flexible member is devoid of said contact members to allow the trimmings (Rc, Rt) to fall. At least a longitudinal supporting element (21) of the products (R; R1, RN), is also provided, parallel to the movable flexible member, the reciprocal position of said flexible member and of said longitudinal element being such that the products advance in contact with the contact members (29, 29A, 29B) of the flexible member and with the longitudinal element. A pusher (11) inserts the series of products with the respective trimmings between the flexible member and the longitudinal supporting member. The flexible member (23) is controlled with a variable speed to carry the section thereof devoid of contact members time by time to the level of the head and tail trimmings (Rc; Rt) of two consecutive series of products.
