Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017071697A1] The invention relates to a device for cutting food (1) using a liquid jet (4), comprising: an advancing device (2) which conveys the food (1) in an advancing direction (V) and has a processing region (5) on which the food (1) lies and in which said liquid jet (4) is directed onto the food (1); and a discharge nozzle (3) which is arranged in the region of the processing region (5) and from which the liquid jet (4) is emitted, said processing region (5) comprising, underneath the food (1), a jet passage for the liquid jet (4) as it comes out from the food (1) and, beneath said jet passage, a jet receiving portion (6) is provided for the liquid jet (4) and the removal of same. Known devices present the disadvantage of the cutting results not being optimum for certain foods. The invention improves this in that, underneath the jet passage (10), a lower suction device (7) is provided as well as optionally an additional upper suction device (8), for particles taken off with the liquid jet (4) and/or for amounts of liquid that collect particularly at the jet passage or that separate from the liquid jet (4).
