A cutter is arranged above a gap extending across the at least one conveyor belt. The cutter is positioned in relation to the gap such that the cutting path of the cutter extends through the food items and the gap and below the surface level of the at least one conveyor belt. The cutter is adapted to be connected to a control mechanism for operating crosswise movement of the cutter along the gap. The at least one conveyor belt is configured for facilitating imaging of the conveyed food items. The gap is formed between adjacent elongated supporting means such as rollers with a fixed internal arrangement.
