Abstract:
An apparatus for slicing meat into strips comprises a conveyor for transporting the meat beneath an array of spaced rotary cutting blades, which float upon their driveshaft, their spacing being maintained only by a stack of pressure wheels mounted on a freewheeling shaft parallel to the driveshaft. A free-floating wedge is confined between the conveyor surface, the cutter blades, and the pressure wheels, for separating the meat from the conveyor.
