What Factors need to be Considered in Food Cutting Process?

Initial vibration time

The design and manufacturing of ultrasonic cutting tool heads may be challenging due to the narrow blade design. Vibration with full amplitude without load can sometimes cause premature failure. Therefore, the signal from the ultrasonic generator should be timed appropriately with the automatic machinery to achieve complete vibration of the tool before encountering food at the cutting edge. It is necessary to vibrate before contact to avoid deformation of food caused by contact with non vibrating cutting surfaces.

Vibration amplitude

"Amplitude" describes the microscopic distance of vibration on the cutting surface of an angle. The amplitude of the cutting surface of the tool head is mechanically adjusted by the amplitude lever, and also digitally adjusted by the generator. The amplitude is digitally adjusted by the amplitude lever and generator. The degree of amplitude affects the cutting process. The amplitude has an impact on the cutting process and must be adjusted to meet the needs of each application.

Cutting speed

The speed at which the cutting blade enters and passes through the material being cut is also a process variable that should be optimized for each application. Sometimes it is necessary to use a hard shell to penetrate the product to avoid deformation, and then increase the speed of the cutting tool in the product to achieve optimal results.

Final vibration time

Depending on the consistency of the material being cut, the completed slice. According to the consistency of the material being cut, the completed slice may stick to one side of the cutting angle after the ultrasonic vibration is turned off. Therefore, maintaining ultrasonic vibration when the tool is extracted from the product can utilize the friction free characteristics to release the characteristics of the cut slices, making the cut slices cleaner and more stable.
