Abstract
Machine for continuously cutting open bags of deep frozen plasma including a feed table, a cutting area adjacent the feed table and a collection area. The cutting area has a cutting nozzle for cutting the deep frozen bags of plasma on a longitudinal median portion of the bag. The cutting nozzle emits a cutting jet of water under very high pressure. A conveyor made up of two endless belts continuously travels the deep frozen bags of plasma one after another under the cutting nozzle. The conveyor includes the two side-by-side endless belts mounted around horizontal rollers at opposite ends of a chassis. The belts have a small gap between them which is located vertically in relation to the cutting nozzle. Paired inclined rollers are provided on the chassis adjacent the ends with the endless belts being oriented by the inclined rollers to form in relation to one another a very open V-shaped profile having a tip centered on the gap so that the cutting stream of very high pressure water cutting the bags of plasma in half longitudinally passes through the gap.
