Ultrasonic food cutters: Keep cuts clean, smooth and eliminate the “ploughing phenomena effect.”
Refrigerated takeout foods continue to gain in popularity and there is now more demand than ever for high-quality portioning of products such as sandwiches, wraps and sushi.
Ultrasonic food cutters make food cutting simpler, quicker, and more aesthetically pleasing than ever.
Ultrasonic cutting blades, knives, horns and generators from Ultrasound Cutting Solutions have become ubiquitous within food processing machines for ultrasonic slicing, portioning or dicing of foods in various applications – cheese slicing, pastry cutting, cake portioning pie slicing portion cutting portion cutting portion deli meat bacon cutting frozen food cutting.
Ability to cut products at various temperatures – frozen/refrigerated environmental.
Clean easily – designed with hygiene in mind.
Composed of ultrasonic food cutters.
- Ultrasonic power supply or ultrasonic generator transforms 50/60Hz AC voltage into high frequency electric energy at 20KHz, 30KHz or 40KHz depending on its application – at 20KHz the tool head vibrates over 20,000 times per second!
- Transducers are sealed electromechanical devices which convert electrical energy from its source into high-frequency mechanical vibrations.
- A horn sits between a transducer and tool head (blade), amplifying or decreasing output amplitude from transducers, to transfer an appropriate output level onto tool heads/blades.
- Each ultrasonic tool head – commonly referred to as the blade in cutting devices – can be tailored specifically for an application.
Features of ultrasonic cutting:
- Cleaner cutting: Always produce a clean, uniform cutting surface, and cutting multi-layer composite foods (sandwiches) and nuts will not produce displacement.
- Precision cutting of difficult-to-process products: Easy-to-slice products such as natural food cakes will not deform or crack, and the same is true for hard bread and donuts.
- Higher productivity leads to higher yields: Ultrasonics provide faster cutting and cutting speeds than traditional blade systems, and smaller cuts help reduce waste.
- Reduce cleaning downtime: Ultrasonic systems provide longer run times during cleaning cycles and are easy to clean, reducing cleaning downtime by 70% to 90%.
- High-quality materials meet food industry standards: The equipment is made of stainless steel and titanium materials to ensure improved hygiene, safety and processing performance.
- Low surface friction extends blade life: The blades of ultrasonic tool heads are sharper than static blades, increasing productivity and reducing maintenance.
- All-weather operation: The ultrasonic cutting system is carefully designed and processed to meet the requirements of daily high-performance operation in food processing environments
