<p>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).</p> |
