Abstract (en)

A cutting apparatus for cutting blocks of e.g. cheese into portions for delivery to an automatic packaging machine comprises a platen (15) mounted on a hydraulic ram (15) which can be advanced in steps to force a block of cheese (14) located on the platen upward through fixed cutting wires mounted in a frame (17). After each advance of the platen a cutter (19) severs a layer of portions which are transferred to the packaging machine. Signals from a digital encoder (39) are supplied to a micro-processor which controls the steps in which the platen is advanced so that the block (14) is completely cut into portions none of which is thinner than a predetermined thickness whereby remnant waste is eliminated.
