OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Product is fed onto a conveyor belt [ 1 ] which carries the product to the
slicing wheel [ 2 ]. Knives [ 3 ] under tension serve as spokes and support
the rim of the slicing wheel. The knives are slightly twisted to create a
uniform pitch from the hub to the rim. Knife pitch serves to pull product
through the slicing wheel and produce a precise slice thickness. One
slice is made at a time which prevents crushing of the product. The cut
slices are then discharged from the machine.
