Equipment and process for preparation of food products having closed loop continuous shapes

Номер: US20130059044A1
Автор: Alan Thorpe
Принадлежит: Cavendish Farms Corp

To cut food material, in particular potatoes and sweet potatoes, into continuous close-loop shapes, a cutting blade assembly is used. The cutting blade assembly consists of an outer and at least one inner concentrically arranged cutting blade, where each cutting blade has a close-loop cross-sectional shape. The space between adjacent cutting blades forms a cutting tube. The cutting tubes ultimately form the cross-sectional shapes of the cut food material. Supports, such as blade guides and plungers are slidably positioned between the cutting blades in the cutting tubes. These supports maintain the distance between adjacent cutting blades and assist in separating cut food material from the cutting blades. This cutting blade assembly may be used in a method and system for cutting food material into continuous close-loop shapes.

A second oscillation step can be performed after the non-oscillation step that leads to the separation of the object into two pieces and also produces a relatively straight trailing edge. A device for performing the cutting methods is disclosed. 1. A method for cutting an object having a wall and at least one hollow portion , comprising the steps of:obtaining the object;cutting the object using at least two different cutting sequences, including an oscillation step wherein a blade is oscillated while first contacting and cutting into a portion of the object followed by a second step of cutting the object without oscillating the blade.2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further includes the step of oscillating the blade for a second time after the second step of cutting the part without oscillating the blade.3. A method according to claim 2 , wherein the blade is oscillated prior to and during the first contact with the part in a direction other than along a cutting axis.4. A method according to claim 3 , wherein the blade is oscillated at an angle of about 35° to about 90° in relation to the cutting axis.5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the oscillation step is performed until a cutting edge of the blade has cut through up to 45% of a length of the object as measured along a cutting axis.6.

The biasing member biases the cutter to the outside in the radial direction of the rotating member and causes the cutter to come in contact with the stop member, by using a predetermined biasing force, and allows the cutter to retreat when the reaction force acting on the cutter is greater than the predetermined biasing force. 1. A web cutting device comprising:a plurality of pads that move in a circumferential direction along a cylindrical movement path and hold a web in a releasable manner;a plurality of anvils that are arranged between the pads adjacent to each other and that move in the circumferential direction together with the pads;a revolving member that is arranged, with an interval in between, opposite to the web moved in a state of being held by the pads and that revolves in synchronization with movement of the anvils;a cutter that is held by the revolving member in a manner of being retractable from a predetermined position toward the inner side of the revolving member and that has a blade edge protruding to the outer side of the revolving member and, when the blade edge becomes such as to face the anvil in association with revolution of the revolving member, cuts the web pinched between the blade edge and the anvil; anda biasing member that biases the cutter to the outer side of the revolving member by using a predetermined biasing force so as to hold the cutter at the predetermined position and, on the other hand, when a reaction force acting on the blade edge of the cutter is greater than the ...
