When chewing bubble gum, have you ever wondered why bubble gum can be cut so neatly? When the nougat sticks to the teeth, have you ever wondered how the knife that cut it did its job? With the ultrasonic cutter, these problems become very simple~
What is ultrasonic cutting?
Ultrasonic cutting knife, also known as ultrasonic cutting machine, is a kind of ultrasonic equipment specially used for cutting, and it is one of the important categories of ultrasonic applications.
Why do we need ultrasound for cutting?
Although the traditional mechanical cutting method is relatively cheap, there are many limitations in cutting food. For example, using traditional knives to cut cakes, due to the softness of the cakes, problems such as deformation and breakage of the cakes are prone to occur during the cutting process, which damages the appearance of the cakes and causes waste. Although the appearance of the cake cutter has greatly improved the efficiency of cake cutting, the problem of uneven cutting edges and easy breakage still exists. Moreover, the automatic cake cutting only uses stainless steel cutting blades, and some butter cakes themselves are relatively sticky, so the blades often stick together, which will also affect the overall work efficiency. For example, foods such as bread and cheese similar to cakes have similar problems.
Ultrasonic cutting avoids the use of sharp blades and high pressure, and will not cause physical tearing and damage to the material being cut. Since the cutting knife is always under high-frequency ultrasonic vibration, the surface of the cutting knife will cut inelastic materials, such as the cutting of foods such as cakes, and the cutting of various rubber and preventive materials. During ultrasonic cutting, because the cutting part will produce fusion under the action of high temperature, the cutting part can be quickly sealed, which can effectively prevent the loosening of the tissue generated at the cut part. It can also effectively reduce food scraps when cutting. It is suitable for pastry foods of different thickness and hardness, and is suitable for families or factories with small production volumes.
What is the scope of ultrasonic food cutting?
Ultrasonic cutters can easily achieve precise cutting of foods such as bread, cakes, cheese, frozen foods, etc. In addition, the ultrasonic food cutting knife can also cut items containing vegetables, meat, nuts, or food containing ingredients such as fat, sugar, cream, and chocolate, and the internal products will still not be deformed or shifted. Ultrasonic cutting technology can easily pass through the interior of multi-level food without causing food deformation, thereby improving cutting quality and consistency.
