I. The principles behind how an ultrasonic food cutter operates:
Ultrasonic food cutters astoundingly work by shaking rapidly these are high frequency vibrations like a speaker. This kind of cutter is typically made up of ultrasonic generators, transducers, amplifiers and cutting tools. The ultrasonic generator is the one, which changes the incoming current into a high-frequency electrical signal and sends it to the transducer. The transducer consists of piezoelectric ceramic sheets, which use these electrical signals to produce mechanical vibrations. The amplifier is used to finalize the frequency and transfer it to the cutting tool (the very usual titanium blade), which then vibrates at a high frequency. By this vibration, the friction between the materiel pieces during the cutting process is greatly reduced.
II. Ultrasonic food cutter vs. traditional cutter
The ultrasonic cutters, compared with the traditional ones, have some certain advantages:
Reduce Friction: The ultrasonic vibration of the blade eliminates the friction that is almost non-existent, which thereby leads to the cut product’s deformation and adhesion.
Not The Breakage: Ordinary cutting of the soft ingredients such as cheese, bread by cutting them apart usually, but this ultrasonic cutting does not happen because of the strong vibration of these cutters.
Molt Speed: Ultrasonic cutters can be programmed to cut ingredients at higher speeds, which means that we can boost production efficiency.
III. The pros of using ultrasonic food cutter such as being faster, more precise, and safer:
Faster: The ultrasonic piezoelectric dubbed their machine to cut up to a hundred times faster than normal and promised to develop smaller, better versions.
More accurate: Through vibration, ultrasonic cutters overcome friction and pressure, making finer and smoother cuts, meeting the requirements of the cutting of precision foods, e.g. cakes and chocolates.
More secure: Machines such as the ultrasonic cutters have a lot of automation so that less and less manual operation is required, no risk for an injury and no way for food to be contaminated.
Ⅳ. Types of ingredients suitable for ultrasonic food cutters
Ultrasonic food cutters are great for a variety of ingredients, for example:
Soft ingredients: examples include cheese, cakes, chocolate, and candy that would deform or stick if they are cut.
Hard ingredients: examples include fish and meats, which are frozen and require highly accurate and fast cuts.
Composite ingredients: For items like sandwiches, pizzas and sandwich foods, ultrasonic cutting can be used to ensure that the interior structure remains undamaged.
Rehumanize ultrasonic food cutters, cut food, and they do so with high efficiency, precision, and safety, which is why these machines are increasingly applied in food processing industries.
