Abstract

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Aufschneiden mindestens eines Lebensmittelriegels mit einer Aufschneidevorrichtung, bei der mindestens ein Lebensmittelriegel in jeweils einer Spur mit jeweils einem Transportmittel in Richtung eines rotierend angetriebenen Schneidmessers transportiert wird, das in einer Schneidebene an den vorderen Ende des Lebensmittelriegels Lebensmittelscheiben von den Lebensmittelriegel abtrennt; die zu Portionen zusammengefasst und abtransportiert werden, wobei das Schneidmesser zur Erzeugung der Portion oder zum Abtransport der Portion Leerschnitte durchführt bei denen sich das Schneidmesser bewegt aber von dem Lebensmittelriegel keine Lebensmittelscheiben abgetrennt werden.

Figure imgaf001
The present invention relates to a method for cutting at least one food bar with a slicing device, wherein at least one food bar is transported in each case one track, each with a transport in the direction of a rotating driven cutting knife, in a cutting plane to the front end of the food bar food slices of the Food bar separates; which are combined into portions and transported away, wherein the cutting blade for generating the portion or for transporting the portion of idle cuts in which the cutting blade moves but are separated from the food bar no food slices.
