Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for cutting food objects conveyed from an inlet conveyor to an adjacent outlet conveyor. A moving mechanism is operably connected to the outlet conveyor to provide movement of the inlet end of the outlet conveyor from an adjacent position. The inlet end of the outlet conveyor is moved from a position adjacent to the outlet end of the inlet conveyor to an open position and back to an adjacent position. A cutting device cuts the food objects into portions and trim. A control unit controls the moving mechanism to move the inlet end of the outlet conveyor to an open position when separating trim portions to fall as desired and subsequently instructs the inlet end the outlet conveyor to move back to the adjacent position before the next cutting to provide a support for the remaining parts of the food object.
