APPARATUS FOR CUTTING PATATOES OR SIMILAR VEGETABLES

摘要

A cutting apparatus having an annular-shaped cutting head (42) and an impeller assembly (40) coaxially mounted for rotation within the cutting head (42) to deliver food products (72) radially outward toward the cutting head (42). The cutting head (42) has at least one knife (44) extending radially inward toward the impeller assembly (40). The knife (44) has a cutting edge (45) at a radially innermost extremity and a radially outer face (82) that defines a trajectory plane (35) for slices removed from the products (72) by the cutting edge (45). The knife (44) is clamped to the cutting head (42) with a clamping feature that provides clearance for slices when traveling the trajectory plane (35) of the knife (44).
