Title:
APPARATUS FOR CUTTING FOOD PRODUCT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004033168
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A food product cutting apparatus (10) that makes a substantially horizontal cut through food product being delivered in a substantially vertical direction. The food product delivered to a cutting device (12) through an internal passage (24) of at least one feed member (22) above the cutting device. A force is applied to the food product traveling downward through the internal passage (24) so as to push the food product against a first wall (26) of the feed member (22). The apparatus is configured to improve product flow by configuring the passage (24) of the feed member (22) to have a cross-sectional shape defined by two offset, overlapping diameters. The apparatus is also configured for improved safety by ensuring that the cutting device (10) is properly secured before electrical power is available for driving the cutting device (10).
