Knife head for frozen meat cutting machine - has main cutter on rail with transverse cutter on readily adjusted attachment

摘要

The knife head has a knife rail on which the main knife is fixed that cuts slices from the meat block. An attachment on the rail is used to set the slice thickness and to support transverse cutters. These fit behind the main cutter. The advantage claimed is that the thickness of slices can be adjusted easily and quickly. The attachment (20) has a continuously variable adjustment and is hinged to the knife rail on the cross knife side. The cross cutters fit on pegs on the rail and are fixed on the attachment either directly or through slots. An eccentric tensioning device (86, 87) simultaneously fixes the attachment and the transverse cutter. Two interchangeable transverse cutters can be used.
