<p>The invention comprises a machine for slicing food products into thin strips. Two stacks of spaced, axially aligned circular blades are positioned so as to be driven in counterrotating intermeshing relationship. Each of the blades comprises a central hub connected to a peripheral cutting ring by a plurality of spokes. Spacers are provided between adjacent ones of the circular blades. The stacked blades are assembled with the spokes of succeeding ones of the blades displaced by a predetermined angular amount, so that the spokes define a plurality of helical paths through the interior of the stacks. As the blades are rotated the food product is sliced by being forced between the spaced blades, and the resulting strips are deposited within the interior of the stack to travel along the helical paths defined by the spokes and be discharged at the end of the stack.</p> |
