Automatic Cake Cutter Equipment

The cutter works predominantly automated and is equipped with ultrasound cutting technology. This allows for clean cuts especially when slicing fresh products. The overriding plc and all attached mechanisms all portioning parameters can be individually defined and stored in the recipe memory. Based upon the individual programming it is also possible to slice diagonally. The cleaning station for the cutting blade enables a fully automated process, this can be set to take place at set intervals or when the product is changed.

The Ultrasonic Automatic Round Cake Cutter will also cut fresh, chilled or frozen round cakes, up to a diameter of 12”, including delicate fresh cream type products into preprogramed portion sizes. One of the key components is the machines ability to cut each product without dragging which means the product is cut without ruined layers or spoiled decoration due to it pulling thus ensuring maximum efficiency and minimum waste.
This machine uses ultrasonic vibration to cut, and the cutting surface is very smooth, without compression and heat generation, the food will not be deformed during the cutting process, which maintains the original flavor and taste of the food.

How does ultra sonic cutting work?
Each object has its special frequency, by which the object is stable and easy to oscillate. By adding an external force that corresponds to that special frequency, a small force can obtain a large oscillation. This phenomenon is called resonance. The cutting edge is oscillated greatly with the use of resonance.

The ultrasonic cutter is composed of a "transducer" that generates oscillation and an "oscillator" that drives the transducer. Piezoelectric elements are incorporated in the transducer, and by applying an AC voltage aligned with the characteristic frequency of transducer from the oscillator to the piezoelectric element, the entire vibrator including the cutter blade is resonated. Transducer comes with feedback-control system which transmits information of frequency or amplitude deviation to oscillator caused by cutting load. The feedback-control system can keep resonance state and amplitude of blade stable and it enable the cutters always to cut materials sharply and cleanly.

It consists of cutting machine, conveyor belt, and ultrasonic generator, the knife be controlled by the ultrasonic sound, so cutting be quick and cutting surface be tidy, better shape for final goods.
