- the respective portion After the respective portion has been configured, it is removed from the storage table and placed, for example, in a package. This can be track-individual or for all storage tracks simultaneously.
- each storage track can be moved relative to the support of the food bar so that each portion has a specific shape and / or size.
- Each storage track can be moved in total, for example, by moving the frame of each storage track, and / or a means of transport, for example a conveyor belt, in particular an endless conveyor belt, and / or one or more transport belts, in particular an endless conveyor belt, which is part of the storage track and Moving relative to the frame can be moved so that the respective portion has the desired shape and / or size and / or height.
- the positional shift is preferably completed before the next disc to be deposited rests completely on the respective track of the tray.
- each storage track is controlled so that all portions are the same length. This can be achieved by moving the conveyor belt (s) of each storage track, in particular in and / or against the removal direction of the finished portion.
- the movement of the frame and / or the means of transport takes place according to a certain speed profile.
- each storage track is controlled so that all portions have the same width.
- For the storage track is preferably moved transversely to the Abtransportides the finished portion.
- each storage track is regulated as a function of the flight curve of the cut slice in the respective conveyor track.
- portions of uniform size, in particular length are achieved because the individual food slices differ in their flight curve.
- At least one parameter of the food bar for example the temperature, the surface hardness and / or the density, is measured and the position of the respective storage track is regulated in a track-specific manner as a function of this parameter.
- the cutting blade rotates about an axis of rotation and / or revolves around an axis of rotation.
- the distance of the respective conveyor track from the axis of rotation is taken into account in the regulation of the position of the respective storage track.
- the food bar is scanned before or during slicing, so that its shape, its surface contour and / or its density are known. These values are preferably determined as a function of the extent of the food bar in its transport direction and preferably stored.
- the scanning can be done for example by a transmission scanner, in particular X-ray scanner.
- the local contour and / or the local density of the food bar are determined.
- the height and / or width of the food bar is measured, in particular the local height and / or width of the food bar.
- each portion has the same number or a different number of food slices.
- each portion has substantially the same weight.
- FIG. 1 shows a slicing device
- FIG. 2 shows the slicing device according to FIG. 1 in plan view.
- FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the method according to the invention.
- FIG. 4 shows further adjustment possibilities of the storage tracks.

- the lower conveyor belt 4 is at the same time a product support.
- the cutting blade 1 1 is attached to a rotating blade holder 3 and preferably cooperates with a cutting edge cutting, which is provided for example at the front end of a product support 4 and preferably together define the cutting plane.
- a so-called cutting gap is present, which should be as small as possible, but must be so large that the knife does not touch the cutting edge. This gap must be adjusted regularly.
- the slicing device is provided so that at least at times several food bars are cut open at the same time.
- each food bar is transported along a transport route in the direction of the cutting blade. This transport can be done individually for each route / lane.
- the slicing device may have a gripper per feed path, which grips the rear end 13 of the food product 2 before or during slicing and this during slicing, in particular towards the end of the slicing, stabilized and the tail, which can not be cut, disposed of.
- Each gripper is preferably provided on a gripper carriage (not shown), which moves the grippers, in particular parallel to the feed direction of the food product, back and forth.
- FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the slicing device. It can be clearly seen that the slicing device has several, here three tracks 8-10, along which at least one food bar can be transported.
- the tracks 8-10 can be used as a conveyor belt or as several conveyor belts, in particular a
- Each transport track 8-10 is associated with a respective storage track 16 -18, whose central axis is preferably provided co-linear with the central axis of the respective transport track 8-10.
- Each storage track preferably has at least one transport means, for example a conveyor belt, in particular an endless belt or a plurality of transport belts, in particular endless belts, which can be driven independently of the other tracks per track.
- the transport means can be moved in and against the Abtransportides 19 of the portions (14), which by the respective

- both the timing of the drive, the acceleration and / or the speed can be controlled individually.
- each storage track has its own frame, which is movable in one or more directions, for example in and against the removal direction of the portions and / or at an angle, in particular transversely thereto. This movement can also be done in two opposite directions. Furthermore, it is also conceivable that each storage track is moved up and down track-individually.
- the means of transport and / or frames are preferably moved in their position, in particular between two sections, so that portions of at least approximately similar shape and / or size are formed on all tracks.
- each food bar before or during its slicing is analyzed, in particular scanned and / or weighed to determine its density, in particular its local density and / or its shape, in particular its local shape, preferably the cross section or local cross section.
- the slicing device according to FIG. 2 is occupied by three food bars, which are each transported in a track 8-10 in the direction of a cutting knife 11, which cuts food slices from the front end and then slices onto the food
- Difference in the cross sections of the individual food bars is taken into account when depositing the respective food slices, so that the portions 14 have a certain shape, here a uniform length L.
- a uniform width B may be desired.
- the means of transport of each storage track is driven individually, so that in the present case a different shingle spacing results in accordance with the respective size of the cross section of the respective cut food disc. But this can also be done in total or in addition by a movement of the respective storage track.
