The Science of Ultrasonic cutting Technology

Food manufacturers and producers have previously had to compromise on the quality, yield and presentation of their end product because mechanical blades have considerable limitations when cutting certain food products – particularly delicate, filled or layered products.

Utilising Ultrasonics, products are cut using long established and superior process technology. This involves high frequency sound waves being generated through a sonotrode (cutting tool) oscillating at 20,000 times per second (20KHz). The sound waves are concentrated and evenly distributed along the leading edge of the sonotrode, thereby creating a very effective and unique cutting system.

Products

• Cheese

• Cake

• Cooked meat

• Pate and meat

• Brownies

• Meringue

• Pastries

• Shortbread

• Bread rolls

• Pizza

• Quiche

There is a choice of 1000W or 2200W ultrasonic generators, the more powerful one being used on some products which are of greater density. The generator is housed in the rear control panel and provides the power to the titanium sonotrode via a stainless steel housed transducer and booster.

Variable amplitude settings enable the optimum cutting of products with variable density and consistency. Problems associated with conventional equipment are eliminated, for example smearing and shredding, as the sonotrode gently but quickly passes through the product and moves the slices away.

Benefits

• Cleaner and better cut quality of layered food products

• Increased productivity with improved cut quality

• Ability to slice products which other equipment cannot process

• Faster, more efficient and effective cutting

• Sonotrode is self-cleaning due to the ultrasonic transmission

• Increased productivity with improved cut quality

• Low investments in comparison to other technologies

• Significant reduction in down times for cleaning

• Ultrasonic systems easily make it possible for cutting to be automated
