<p>An apparatus for cutting a sausage product has an elongate, generally cylindrical housing and a generally annular cutter member. The housing has an axis, a circumferential side wall with radial inner and outer surfaces, and first and second axial ends. The housing defines a cutting chamber sized for receiving the sausage product, and the side wall includes a plurality of elongate, generally parallel axial slots extending therethrough. The slots are generally equally spaced from each other around the circumference of the side wall. The cutter member has an axial length and a curved inner circumferential surface with a diameter at least slightly greater than that of the outer surface of the housing side wall. The cutter member extends around and is coaxial with the housing, and includes a plurality of generally radially inwardly extending blades, where the blades are spaced from each other around the circumference of the cutter member so that each blade is generally aligned with and extends through one of the housing slots and into the cutting chamber. Accordingly, axial movement of the cutter member with respect to the housing results in a plurality of generally parallel axially extending cuts being made into the sausage product located within the cutting chamber.</p> |
