Hydraulic block cutter

for the food industry

This Butter Block Cutter was designed to cut tempered blocks of butter into 75 x 75mm segments. To cut the butter into blocks, they would need to be turned through 90 degrees and placed back onto the cutting frame for the second cut. The Butter Block Cutter is manufactured from Grade 304 Stainless Steel throughout and the cutting operation is via a guided pneumatic cylinder and pusher plate. When the cylinder extends it pressing the butter through the cutting blades and into a tote bin placed underneath. The Butter Block Cutter is enclosed in a stainless sheet metal design on both sides and the back with the front open to allow the butter blocks to be loaded and unloaded. Control of the cutting operation is via dual pneumatic push button control mounted either side of the opening at the front. The cut and retract operations are on a hold to run principle with separate dual push buttons for each operation i.e. one pair to cut and another pair to retract. All parts of the Butter Block Cutter and components such as the butter pushing block and the cross blade cutting frame will be easily removable for cleaning purposes. The whole Butter Block Cutter is mounted on stainless steel rubber based adjustable feet which can be used to level the machine once in position.
