ULTRASONIC CUTTING

ULTRASONICALLY ENHANCED CUTTING SYSTEMS
FOR ALL MATERIALS

NEW PATENTED CONCEPTS

 

CUTTING PROCESS
A dramatic reduction in cutting forces enables soft products to be cut with minimum distortion. Particularly suited to food products where the self cleaning blade and no smearing of product is advantageous giving exceptionally high cut quality
MINI DELTA 9500 SERIES
35 kHz 500 watt ultrasonic cutting system gives the choice of 4 hand held guns or plant mounted, which power a 76mm sabre blade and are lightweight and portable. They are extremely versatile, cutting a wide range of material. Choice of pistol, small NS, large or small trim knife guns

 

	Faster cleaner cutting
	Seals material on both edges thereby eliminating fusing operation (on thermoplastics)
	Can be multi headed
	Can be fully automated
	Very high cut quality
	Minimal scrap and waste
	Can be fully automated
	Self cleaning blade

APPLICATIONS IN VARIOUS INDUSTRIES

Food Cutting Always in the forefront of technology ("the cutting edge"), FFR is the first UK company to have ultrasonically enhanced cutting machines in action in the UK's major food producing PLCs. Conventional cutting methods used in the food industry all too frequently result in crushed or crumbled product with a significant percentage of waste. Ultrasonic food cutting has many benefits for the food producer: The quality of the cut face is visually excellent The cutting force required is significantly reduced Hard ingredients (eg nuts) can be cut in a soft matrix without dragging Smearing of one layer into another is reduced The blade is largely self-cleaning Crumb and debris is significantly reduced Brittle products have less tendency to shatter The process is easily automated and is currently in use cutting products as diverse as savoury snacks and pork pies, cream slices and cheesecake.
