Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a method and a device for cutting tuberous crops, such as potatoes, into slices by means of knives (5) which are supported by a knife carrier which rotates about an axis of rotation (3) during operation. The crops are supplied through a supply pipe (8), one end of which is positioned close to a path of movement of the knives (5) during operation, which path extends at some distance from the axis of rotation (3). The crops are thereby transported to the knife carrier by means of a liquid flow through the supply pipe (8). The pipe is connected to a liquid container (9), whilst the device furthermore comprises a pump (10) for pumping the liquid and the tuberous crops present therein through the pipe (8).
