Abstract

A food processing apparatus for the cutting of foodstuff comprising a first cutter having a cross/sectional shape defining a first maximal external diameter and a first minimal internal diameter about a first central axis. A second cutter having a cross-sectional shape defining a second maximal external diameter and a second minimal internal diameter about a second central axis is also provided. The second maximal external diameter of the second cutter is greater than or equal to the first minimal internal diameter of the first cutter. In use, the foodstuff is cut by the second cutter before being cut by the first cutter, or alternatively the first cutter may make the first cut with the second cutter making a second subsequent cut.

• B26D 1/11 - Cutting through work characterised by the nature or movement of the cutting memberApparatus or machines thereforCutting members therefor involving a cutting member which does not travel with the work having a linearly-movable cutting member wherein the cutting member reciprocates in, or substantially in, a direction parallel to the cutting edge with a plurality of cutting members
• B26D 1/12 - Cutting through work characterised by the nature or movement of the cutting memberApparatus or machines thereforCutting members therefor involving a cutting member which does not travel with the work having a cutting member moving about an axis
• B26D 1/34 - Cutting through work characterised by the nature or movement of the cutting memberApparatus or machines thereforCutting members therefor involving a cutting member which does not travel with the work having a cutting member moving about an axis with a non-circular cutting member moving about an axis parallel to the line of cut
• B26D 3/11 - Making cuts of other than simple rectilinear form to obtain pieces of spiral or helical form

Abstract

A food processing apparatus for the cutting of foodstuff having a guide arrangement. A primary cutter is located at an open first end of the guide arrangement. A secondary cutter is located at or about a second end of the guide arrangement distal the first end. The guide arrangement guides foodstuff cut by the primary cutter towards and into contact with the secondary cutter for further cutting and/or processing by the secondary cutter.

• A47J 43/20 - Shapes for preparing foodstuffs, e.g. meat-patty moulding devices
• B26D 1/36 - Cutting through work characterised by the nature or movement of the cutting memberApparatus or machines thereforCutting members therefor involving a cutting member which does not travel with the work having a cutting member moving about an axis with a non-circular cutting member moving about an axis parallel to the line of cut and rotating continuously in one direction during cutting, e.g. mounted on a rotary cylinder
• B26D 1/44 - Cutting through work characterised by the nature or movement of the cutting memberApparatus or machines thereforCutting members therefor involving a cutting member which does not travel with the work having a cup or like cutting member

Abstract

A food processing apparatus for the cutting of foodstuff comprising a first cutter (11) having a cross/sectional shape defining a first maximal external diameter (12) and a first minimal internal diameter (13) about a first central axis (14). A second cutter (15) having a cross-sectional shape defining a second maximal external diameter (16) and a second minimal internal diameter (17) about a second central axis (18) is also provided. The second maximal external diameter (16) of the second cutter (15) is greater than or equal to the first minimal internal diameter (13) of the first cutter (11). In use, the foodstuff is cut by the second cutter (15) before being cut by the first cutter (11), or alternatively the first cutter (11) may make the first cut with the second cutter (15) making a second subsequent cut.
