Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système de coupe de produit alimentaire pouvant comprendre un support de produit alimentaire pour transporter un produit alimentaire de manière circonférentielle autour d'un axe de rotation, le support de produit alimentaire comprenant des dispositifs de coupe d'aliment présentant chacun un couteau et un poussoir correspondant. Chaque couteau est destiné à recevoir et à se mettre en prise avec un produit alimentaire, et chaque poussoir est accouplé de façon coulissante à un couteau et mobile pour pousser le produit alimentaire hors de prise avec le dispositif de coupe d'aliment. Le système de coupe de produit alimentaire peut également comprendre une glissière orientée de manière généralement circulaire par rapport au support de produit alimentaire. La glissière peut être disposée à des distances radiales variables par rapport à l'axe de rotation et accouplée à des suiveurs. Chaque suiveur peut être raccordé à un poussoir correspondant. En fonctionnement, le produit alimentaire déplacé dans le couteau d'un dispositif de coupe d'aliment et transporté autour de l'axe de rotation est poussé de manière incrémentielle hors de prise avec le dispositif de coupe d'aliment par le poussoir correspondant.
