Abstract
A cutting head for a centrifugal cutting apparatus includes a rim structure; and a plurality of cutting stations mounted onto the rim structure, each of said cutting stations comprising a cutting element for cutting food products at a leading end of the cutting station and an inner wall extending from the leading end to a trailing end and forming a product sliding surface, along which the food product slides between successive cuts. The cutting stations are assembled adjacent one another onto the rim structure in such a way that a gap is present between each pair of adjacent cutting stations through which a product slice exits the cutting head upon being cut. The cutting head also includes a gap setting mechanism for setting the radial size of the gap by adjusting the radial offset of the trailing end of the respective cutting station with respect to the rim structure.
