3.4 The Multi-cutter
The Multi-cutter determines two out of the three dimensions of the cube or stripe.
The size of the cutting dimension is in mm, which means that the distance between two adjacent
knives is x mm.
The following cut-sizes are available for the High-Tech-Cutter:
5 mm x 5 mm, 6 mm x 6 mm, 8 mm x 8mm, 10 mm x 10 mm, 12 mm x 12 mm, 16 mm x 16 mm
20 mm x 20 mm, 24 mm x 24 mm, 30 mm x 30 mm, 32 mm x 32 mm, 40 mm x 40 mm,
60 mm x 60 mm.
Because the two dimensions are determined by the composition of two Multiplex-cutter-halves, it is
possible to achieve all sorts of combinations like 6 mm x 60 mm.
A Multi-cutter consists of:
A HighTech-cutter frame on which all
HighTech-cutter parts are mounted and the
frame itself is attached to the machine.
The Multiplex-cutter-half Top is marked with
O (Over) and, as the second cutting stage,
moves one plane of knives.
The Multiplex-cutter-half Bottom is marked
with U (Under) and, as the first cutting stage,
moves one plane of knives.
Product stabilizers which keep the product in
place while the knives are cutting
A Multi-cutter doesn’t always have to be composed of all the single parts. If, for example long
stripes are required, the Multiplex cutter Bottom is not needed and therefore the stabilizers are not
mounted either.
In case of a very hard product like smoked ham or cheese there is no need for the stabilizers as
well.
The two Multiplex-cutter-halves are in all cases mounted in such a way, that the Multiplex cutter half
bottom represents the bigger cut size and the Multiplex-cutter-half Top the smaller one.
