Device for the Automated Cutting of Bread into Slices

摘要

A device 1 for the automated cutting of bread 4 into slices comprising an element 7 driving the bread 4 and a set of blades 8 for slicing the bread 4, the drive element 7 being arranged so as to be moved in a translation movement transversely to the set of blades 8 by a movement means 10 coupled to said drive element 7, between a first retracted position in which the bread 4 to be sliced can be loaded into the device 1 and a second advanced position in which the element 7 driving the bread 4 is adjacent to the set of blades 8 and the sliced bread can be removed from the device 1, the latter also comprising a regulation means 14 arranged to automatically regulate the power supplied by the movement means 10 according to the speed and/or acceleration of the translation movement of the element 7 driving the bread 4 during the operation of slicing it. Said regulation means 14 is arranged to compare the speed of movement of the drive element 7 with a predetermined speed and to respectively increase or reduce the power of the means 10 of moving said drive element 7 when said speed of movement is respectively less than or greater than the predetermined speed.
