Problems solved by technology

However, this cutting device is expensive to operate because it requires a high pressure system and a water supply
Furthermore, such water jet cutters require the food objects to be laid on a conveyor belt made of steel / metal, but such belts usually have a large turning diameter, which means that it is difficult to separate the individual parts, such as rectangular ones, from each other

Embodiment Construction

[0084] Figure 1 to Figure 8An example of how the angled end of the conveyor belt can be achieved is shown. In these figures, the belt is a conventional flat belt that is "folded".

[0085] Figure 10 to Figure 14 Another example of how to achieve the angled end of the conveyor belt is shown. In these figures, the conveyor belt comprises a plurality of spaced apart round belts.

[0086] It should be noted that the invention should not be considered limited to the conveyor belts described above.

Abstract

This invention relates to a cutting apparatus for cutting food objects into smaller food products, where the cutting apparatus includes an infeed conveyor having a first end and a second end, a conveyor system having a first end and a second end, the conveyor system being arranged such that the first end of the conveyor system is adjacent and essentially parallel to the second end of the infeed conveyor defining a first slit there between, and a first cutting unit having a cutting plane extending through the first slit and controlled by a control unit for cutting food objects conveyed by the infeed conveyor into smaller food products, wherein the first slit and the cutting plane of the cutting unit form an angle to an axis perpendicular to the conveying direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to cutting apparatus and methods for cutting food objects into smaller food products. Background technique [0002] WO 2005097438 discloses a cutting device for cutting food objects, such as fish steaks, chicken breasts, boneless chicken legs, etc., into portions having a fixed shape, typically a rectangular shape. The cutting device is based on the use of two cutting devices arranged one behind the other in which all sides of the food object are cut. The first cutting device acquires the scan data of the input food and cuts the food into parallel food strips accordingly. These strips of food are then manually rotated 90° and passed through a second cutting device which cuts the strips of food into squares. [0003] This intermediate step of manually realigning the food strips to meet subsequent cutting needs, in addition to requiring additional labor, also requires that the food products be rigid, since otherwise the ha...
