A method for operating a slicing machine for cutting slices of product from a strand-shaped product to be cut, preferably food, having a cutting device comprising a circular blade that rotates on a cutting plane about an axis of rotation and is driven by an electric circular blade motor, having a carriage that carries a support plate for placing the product to be sliced and can be displaced at a carriage speed vparallel to the cutting plane, and having a chain of a chain frame that is driven by an electric chain frame motor for transporting away cut slices of product at a transport speed vand for depositing them on a receiving table or a conveyor belt, with a number n&#x2265;2 of strands of product to be sliced being placed parallel to one another on the support plate with their strand axes aligned.

Method for operating a slicing machine, and slicing machine for spaced storage of slices of product

A slicer for cutting slices of elongated food products includes a machine housing and a slicing blade that is held by the machine housing. An electric slicing motor drives the slicing blade, and a control unit actuates the slicing motor using a pulse-width modulation. The control unit includes a microcontroller and a motor output stage. The microcontroller is configured to generate pulse-width-modulated control signals by varying at least one of an amplitude, a frequency or a pulse width of the control signals and to forward the control signals to the slicing motor.
