Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1857232A1] The vegetable (G), which can be a carrot or a stalk of celery, is moved by a pushing element (7) along a guide with a v-shaped cross section (9) to a cutting blade (10) for the removal of a front segment. The position is detected by a sensor. When the sensor recognizes the rear end of the vegetable another cut is made. The item (G) is pushed into a tube (20) moving from a horizontal into a vertical position in order to guide the vegetable (G) to the cutting unit (30) creating star-, shamrock-, heart- or other attractively shaped slices.
