cutting machine for food, especially for smoked salmon, as well as methods for cutting smoked salmon

摘要

A slicing apparatus has a cutting assembly reciprocating on a receptacle including a plate for a product to be sliced. The assembly has two plates whose spacing is adjustable to change the thickness of the cut slice. One plate carries a blade. The inclination of the receptacle relative to the direction of movement of the assembly is also adjustable. The plate spacing and receptacle inclination are modifiable for each cutting cycle. Independent claims are included for: (a) slicing fish fillets using an electronic device that measures certain criteria of a fish fillet, where the criteria determine the category of the fillet and for each category there is a prescribed slicing arrangement, so that the fillet is then sliced according to the selected category; and (b) using the above apparatus to perform as in (a).
