Factors to consider in the process of cutting food:
1. Initial vibration timing
The design and manufacture of ultrasonic cutting knives may have challenging and narrow blade design requirements. At the same time, vibrating the tool at maximum amplitude without loading can sometimes lead to premature failure. Therefore, the ultrasonic signal sent from the ultrasonic generator should be automatically timed and correctly mechanical to make the tool fully vibrate in front of the cutting edge to satisfy the food product. Vibration before contact is necessary to avoid food deformation due to contact with non-vibrating cut surfaces.
2. Vibration amplitude
The term "amplitude" describes the cut surface of the microscopic distance angle of vibration. The amplitude can be adjusted mechanically by the controller, the booster, and the digital generator. The degree of amplitude has an impact on the cutting process and must be adjusted to suit each demand application.
(1) Soft foods and those with multiple textures usually require higher content amplitude. Examples are: soft candies and nougats, soft cheeses and nuts or fruits, products containing various soft and hard materials such as sandwiches and packaging, cakes and breads.
(2) Sturdy foods usually have lower amplitude requirements. Examples are: frozen food, company cheese, vegetables, etc.
3. Reduce speed
The speed at which the cutting tool enters and passes through the material being cut is also a process variable, and the application should be optimized for each process. Sometimes it is necessary to use the outer shell to penetrate the product slowly to avoid deformation, and then increase the speed of the knife to achieve the best cutting effect.
4. Final vibration timing
According to the consistency of the material being cut, the finished slice may tend to stick to the side of the cutting corner after ultrasonic vibration. Therefore, the tool that is taken out of the product while maintaining the ultrasonic vibration can be used without friction to release the properties more cleanly and consistently Sliced.
Application:
1. Hard and soft cheeses, including products containing nuts and fruits.
2. Sandwiches, wraps and pizzas in the catering industry.
3. Nougat, candy bars, granola bars and healthy snack bars.
4. Semi-frozen meat and fish.
5. Bread or cake products.
