Features

- The slightly twisted knives of the cutting wheel guarantee a perfect cutting result.
- The special designed discharge chute gently decelerates the cut product minimizing product damage. Its jointless shape and sloped surfaces prevent accumulation of product residue.
- Available hold-down plate for optimal product guidance towards the cutting wheel.
- Drive zone and product zone of the machine are completely separated.
- The overlap belt side plating reduces product buildup below the conveyor belts.
- The even and durable finish of the stainless steel slicing wheel and its support plate will cut down cleaning time. Washdown stainless steel motors available for an even better cleanability (optional).
- Sloped plate work, rounded corners and a minimum of hex cap screws highly reduce soil buildup.
- An angled bottom plate evacuates water and waste to a central drain.
- Variable frequency drives for both the slicing wheel and the conveyor belts offer a precise speed control and maximum flexibility.
- Many cut shapes possible on a wide range of products
- Hinged discharge chute and easily removable covers provide access to the product zone and the drive zone.
- Thanks to the Electro-Flex-system, the electrical cabinet with integrated touch screen can either be fixed to the machine or placed at a distance.
- The machine can be extended with a 2nd set of V-belts (with separate variable frequency drive) for a better product alignment and a more even supply of the product to the machine conveyor belts guaranteeing cut quality at the highest capacity.
- Immediate access to cutting recipes, production and maintenance data, provided by PLC and touch screen.
- A circular knife can be placed in front of the cutting wheel. In combination with 2D knives, a 3-D cut is obtained.
- Completely designed according to European CE safety directives: Machinery directive 2006/42/EC, Low voltage directive 2006/95/EC, EMC directive (electro magnetic compatibility) 2004/108/EC.
- New generation of stainless steel safety switches prevent the FAM LIFIS from operating while one of its covers or doors is still open.
- The trapped safety key can only be removed after all rotary parts have come to a complete stop.
- No operator needed.
- Sealed bearings for minimum maintenance.
- Conveyor belts with guide strip run over wear plates that are cheap and easy to replace. Unique quick replace system for the V-belts.

Cutting Principle
A driven V-shaped conveyor belt guides the product towards the cutting wheel. The cutting wheel spins at high speed and the thin razor-sharp knives guarantee a perfect cut. Additionally, the product cell structure remains protected, increasing the product shelf life considerably.
The cutting size of your vegetables or fruit is determined by the combination of:
- the type and speed of the cutting wheel,
- the number of knives on the cutting wheel,
- the speed of the conveyor belt.
Small 2D-knives, positioned transversally on the cutting wheel, cut your leafy vegetables in small squares.
