Abstract

A machine (10) for slicing a food product in the three dimensions in a single continuous cycle to produce an end product having a determined size and shape. The machine (10) incorporates a first slicing station (20) for slicing a determined length of a first slice off the food product by a first cut off knife (30) and a second slicing station (40) to slice the first slice in two dimensions by a set of gang knives (54) and a second cut off knife (50) to produce a cube of determined size and shape. The machine has a conveyor system for conveying the food product on a continuous basis through the machine. The rotation of the cut off knives are variable to establish the desired dimensions of the end product. The first slice is transferred on the conveyor (46) of the second slicing station in a manner to accommodate slicing the first slice in the other two dimensions by the second slicing station (40).

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMSI received by the International Bureau on 22 November 1994 (22.11.94); original claims 1-3 amended; remaining claims unchanged (2 pages)]
1. An automatic food slicing apparatus wherein th food product to be sliced is in the form of loaves and sai loaves are to be sliced in three dimensions includin length, height and width, to produce cubes, said foo slicing apparatus comprising: a first slicing station, a second slicing station, first conveyor conveying food product loaves into the firs slicing station whereat the food product 1 - ves are slice into slabs, and a second conveyor adjacent e first slicin station conveying the slabs from said first slicing statio into the second slicing station whereat the slabs are slice into cubes; said first slicing station including a first cutof knife that slices the loaves into slabs of a specifie length, and further including apparatus for laying the slab over onto the second conveyor with the specified length o the slabs as cut off by the first cutoff knife converted t the height dimension of the slabs as oriented on the secon conveyor; and said second slicing station including an arrangement o gang blades for cutting the slabs into specified widths an a second cutoff knife for cutting the slabs into specifie lengths.
2. A food slicing apparatus as defined in Claim wherein the apparatus for laying the slabs over includes an arrangement of the first cutoff knife oriented at an angle relative to horizontal to cut slabs at an angle to horizontal and to induce the slabs to lay over onto the second conveyor due to gravity.
3. An automatic food slicing apparatus as defined in Claim 1 wherein the first and second cutoff knives are designed to cut through the loaves and slabs, respectively, while the first and second conveyors are in the process of conveying the loaves and the slabs with the movement of the food product through the cutoff knives being continuous.
4. An automatic food slicing apparatus as defined in Claim 3 wherein the first and second conveyors define a path of conveyance for the food product, said cutoff blades being elongated blades that are thin and narrow relative to their length and configured in a spiral, said blades being rotatably mounted adjacent the path of conveyance and being rotated through the path of conveyance to slice the food product to length.
5. An automatic food slicing apparatus as defined in Claim 1 wherein the first and second conveyors each include a lower conveyor belt and an upper conveyor belt, said upper conveyor belt mounted on an adjustable support that adjusts to the height of the food product, said upper and lowe conveyor belts cooperatively gripping the product t
