摘要 |
According to the invention, for pre-disintegrating blocks (1) of refrigerated material on a conveyor belt (5) or the like, use is made of a vertically movable knife block (10), which is equipped with transverse cutting knives (11, 12, 13), which are arranged so as to be staggered one behind the other and offset with respect to one another in the vertical direction, and expediently also longitudinal cutting knives, in such a way that the block (1) is divided in a stepwise manner to a piece size suitable for the subsequent disintegration. According to a further essential feature of the invention, the knife drive takes place with the aid of hydraulic lifting cylinders (23) via a gear mechanism having toothed racks and gear wheels in such a manner that, during the cutting operation, a lifting stroke, which is greater than the lifting stroke of the hydraulic lifting cylinders (23), is imparted to the knife block (10). <IMAGE>
