<p>In a hydraulic food cutting apparatus having mixing tank (13), food pump (14), converging tube segment (11) for accelerating and aligning food product to be cut, deceleration loop (18) and separating means (20) a method and means for reducing turbulent flow of cut food product (19) and carrier fluid which is either a converging cutter blade assembly (10), having the same angle of convergence and serving as an extension of converging tube segment (11), or in the event a standard in line cutter blade assembly (21) is used, then a second converging tube segment (22) attached to the discharge of the in line cutter blade assembly (21) for reaccelerating the carrier fluid and cut food product (19) as it exits the cutter blade assembly (21), in order to induce improved laminar flow of the carrier fluid and to reduce tumbling of the cut food product (19).</p> |
