APPLICATIONS
The Model G-A will cut uniform dices,
straight French fry strips, and slices from a va-
riety of soft ripe fruits and brittle vegetables. A
wide selection of interchangeable cutting parts
enable the user to obtain gentle, clean cutting
through a wide range of sizes at high produc-
tion capacities. The machine features continu-
ous operation for uninterrupted production, and
simplified design for easy cleanup and main-
tenance.
The Model GK-A will cut crinkle slices, three
dimensional cuts having four crinkle surfaces,
and plain cuts from a variety of fruits and veg-
etables. This machine is especially suited to
cutting crinkle French fry strips from potatoes.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Product is delivered to a feed hopper, then
enters a rotating impeller (Figure 10). Centrifu-
gal force holds the product against the inside of
the slice case as the impeller blades carry the
product past the slicing knife. An adjustable
case gate at the top of the case allows the
product to move outward across the edge of
the slicing knife. The distance between the end
of the case gate and the slicing knife edge de-
termines the slice thickness.
As the slices emerge, crosscut knives move
downward producing strips. Strips move with-
out interruption across the top surface of the
slicing knife holder into the circular knives
where they are cut into cubes or other three-di-
mensional cuts of a selected size.
