💡 Working Principle
The ultrasonic cutter is composed of a "transducer" that generates vibration and an "oscillator" that drives the transducer. When voltage is applied, the piezoelectric element generates a force that resonates the whole body, from the transducer to the blade tip, generating a large vibration at the tip.
Ultrasonic food processing involves a vibrating knife producing a nearly frictionless surface that minimizes buildup on the blade surface. The ultrasonic blades cleanly cut sticky products and inclusions such as nuts, raisins, and morsels without displacement.
The ultrasonic vibration of 20kHz - 35kHz moves the cutting tip rapidly. This oscillating movement applies an intermittent cutting force to the crack tip, minimizing the stress on the bulk material. This high-frequency movement effectively reduces the coefficient of friction to a very low level.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How does ultrasonic cutting improve food quality?
It creates a frictionless cutting surface, ensuring clean edges on delicate or layered products and preventing sticking, which maintains the food's aesthetic appeal.
What materials are the cutting blades made of?
The blades are primarily crafted from high-quality Titanium Alloy or Rapid Steel, complying with food industry health and safety standards.
Can this machine handle sticky ingredients like nougat or caramel?
Yes, the high-frequency vibration prevents sticky materials from adhering to the blade, making it ideal for confectionery like nougat and chocolate.
Is the machine compatible with automated production lines?
Absolutely. These ultrasonic cutting devices are designed to be integrated with robot arms and other automated machinery for high-efficiency production.
What is the maintenance requirement for ultrasonic blades?
Due to the reduced friction and minimal buildup, the blades require significantly less cleaning downtime compared to conventional cutting tools.
What thicknesses can the machine cut?
The standard models are optimized for materials within a thickness of 5mm, though custom solutions can be discussed for specific requirements.
