AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing slicing machines lack reliable guidance of product caliber movement during loading and slicing processes, particularly transverse or orthogonal to the feed direction, leading to inefficiencies and potential misalignment.

Method used

Incorporation of a further product guiding unit upstream of the product support device, connected to pivot jointly with the support device about an orthogonal pivot axis, ensuring consistent and controlled movement of the product caliber during loading and slicing.

Benefits of technology

Ensures safe and reliable guidance of product caliber movement, enhancing precision and efficiency in slicing operations by maintaining alignment throughout the loading and slicing processes.

Abstract

The invention relates to a slicing machine (100), in particular a slicer, for slicing at least one product caliber (K1, K2), comprising: a feeding unit (102) configured to feed the at least one product caliber (K1, K2) along a feeding direction (10), wherein the feeding unit (102) comprises a product support device (120) for the at least one product caliber (K1, K2), and a cutting unit (110) configured to slice the at least one product caliber (K1, K2) into slices (S), wherein the feeding unit (102) in the area of ​​the cutting unit (110) comprises a product guidance unit (113) configured to limit movement of the at least one product caliber (K1, K2) substantially transversely, preferably orthogonally, to the feeding direction (10), wherein the feeding unit (102) further comprises a Product management unit (140) includes,which is arranged upstream of the product guidance unit (113) with respect to the feed direction (10) and is opposite the product support device (120), and the further product guidance unit (140) is connected to the product support device (120) in such a way that they, preferably only, can be pivoted together about a pivot axis (S') which is substantially orthogonal to the feed direction (10).
