| 20080289466 | FOOD DOUGH CUTTING METHOD AND CUTTING APPARATUS - The object of the present invention is to provide a food dough cutting method and cutting device thereof capable of forming conveyed food dough strips that have nearly identical weight per unit time when dividing band shaped food dough into multiple food dough strips in the conveyance direction, and is further capable of performing the same number of cuts for each food dough strip when cutting each food dough strip along the width direction into food dough pieces having a specified weight. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090049966 | PROPORTIONAL LENGTH FOOD SLICING SYSTEM - This invention includes a system for cutting food products, such as potatoes, into proportional length pieces. In a one embodiment, the system includes a cutting assembly, sensors upstream of the cutting assembly and a programmable logic controller. The cutting assembly preferably includes a housing defining a passageway, at least two separately actuatable stops extendable into the passageway to provide an abutment to hold the food product in place, and at least two separately actuatable blades for slicing the food product into pieces. The controller cooperates with the sensors to determine the length of each food product and, based on a length determinative algorithm, selectively actuate one of the stops and at least one of the blades to determine how many times the food product will be sliced and location of the cut(s) relative to the leading end of the food product. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090133556 | THIN SECTION PREPARING APPARATUS AND THIN SECTION PREPARING METHOD - A thin section preparing apparatus is provided, which prepares a thin section from an embedded block having a biological sample embedded and carries it, including: a cutter that slices the block at a pull angle; an approaching and separating mechanism that relatively moves the block and the cutter along an approaching and separating direction; a carrying mechanism having a carrying body arranged as one end side is near a nose, and a moving unit that moves the body along a transport direction; a sliding mechanism that relatively moves the block and the body along a nose direction; and a control unit that controls a combined velocity vector that combines a transport velocity vector of the body along the transport direction with a travel velocity vector of the body along the nose direction to be nearly equal to a block velocity vector of the embedded block along the approaching and separating direction. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090165616 | THREE-SIDE TRIMMER, ESPECIALLY FOR SHORT RUNS - A trimmer including a common support frame and first and second cutting units movably mounted on the common support frame. Each respective cutting unit including a unit frame, a cutting strip connected to each respective unit frame, and a knife movably mounted on each respective unit frame for an oblique swing cut against a respective cutting strip. Each respective unit frame absorbing all cutting forces between the knife and the cutting strip during the oblique swing cut. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20100095818 | Section for transporting printed products of variable cutoffs in a printing press folder - A printing press folder is provided. The folder includes a cutting pair cutting a web at a cutting location to form signatures, a pair of transport cylinders forming a first nip and a pair of acceleration cylinders forming a second nip. The pair of transport cylinders receives the signatures downstream of the cutting pair at the first nip and transports the signatures away from the cutting pair. The first nip is separated from the cutting location by a first distance. The pair of acceleration cylinders receives the signatures from the pair of transport cylinders at the second nip and transports the signatures away from the pair of transport cylinders. The second nip is separated from the first nip by a second distance. The pair of transport cylinders is movable with respect to the pair of acceleration cylinders and the pair of acceleration cylinders is movable with respect to the pair of transport cylinder so the first distance and the second distance are selectively variable. A signature transport section and a method of transporting signatures of varying lengths in a printing press are also provided. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100319510 | Apparatus for collecting artificial turf for recycling - A turf collecting machine capable of automatically collecting laid artificial athletic turf, separating the infill and tufted backing components of the collected turf, and then depositing those separated components into separate storage containers is disclosed. The apparatus also includes mechanisms for cleaning the infill particles collected. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20130333539 | MACHINE FOR CUTTING LEATHERS - A machine for cutting leathers ( | 12-19-2013 |
| 20140260856 | AUTOMATED BOOK PUNCH - An automated book punch includes a base, a positioning mechanism, a punching mechanism, a conveying mechanism, a transfer mechanism and a paper straightening/collection mechanism: the base has a paper tray; the positioning mechanism at a fixed position (an open position) locates a book held in the paper tray (allows the book to pass); the punching mechanism is used to punch a book held in the paper tray; the conveying mechanism conveys a book in the paper tray; the transfer mechanism is able to shift a punched book from the conveying mechanism to a predetermined position; the paper straightening/collection mechanism collects and straightens a book from the transfer mechanism. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20140260857 | Rotary Strip Cutter - The present invention relates to apparatus, systems and methods for manufacturing food, more specifically strip products out of meats such as chicken, of variable thickness and texture, in various shapes and sizes. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20150020664 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING OF FOOD ITEMS - A method and system for the processing of food items that are supplied to a batching apparatus, where the batching apparatus comprises at least one handling means of the robotic type. By means of the batching apparatus a first process is performed, according to which food items are selectively batched in consideration of measured, detected and/or estimated data for the individual items and in consideration of at least one predefined criterion. Particular food items are identified and led to another process, the particular food items being food items that are deviant in relation to one or more predefined parameter(s) relating to the batching and/or food items that have not been selected to be batched during the first process. | 01-22-2015 |
