Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017021381A1] The invention relates to a machine and to a method for cutting a loaf of bread (2) into slices, according to which a loaf of bread (2) is placed against a supporting surface (3) in a first compartment (1), and then is moved downwards towards a second compartment (5). During the movement, the loaf of bread (2) is cut into slices between the first and second compartment while the cut portion of the loaf of bread (2) is supported by a mobile support (4) moving at a speed substantially equal to the speed of movement of the loaf of bread (2) at least until the loaf has been completely cut. After the loaf of bread has been placed against said supporting surface (3), the machine grips the top end (9) of the loaf of bread (2) via hanging means (7) and said end (9) of the loaf of bread is held against gravity during the downward movement thereof while the slices are cut.
