<p>An apparatus (10) for cutting optimally sized fruit and vegetable pieces, such as potatoes, that is made of a dump chute (28), a trough (34), a conveyor (32) having paddles (36) forming paddle pockets (38), a drive means (40), at least one sensor (54), a programmable logic controller (56) and a cutter assembly (70). The chute (28) receives materials and loads them singly onto a conveyor (32) within a paddle pocket (38) disposed along the conveyor (32). The drive means (40) moves the conveyor, which then advances the material from the dump chute (28) toward the cutter assemby (70).</p> |
