Sug′ar-cut′ting ma-chine′.
A machine for cutting up loaf or hard sugar into lumps. |
| Centrifugal machine. |
In the example (Fig. 6046). the sugar in flat cakes is inserted between the hinged table D and the reciprocating-table E, both of which are studded with quadrangular pins. The table E is swung up and down by a cammovement; the table E is struck by a hammer I, lifted by means of the wiper K, and is immediately after the impact thrown up by springs c c.
Fig. 6047 is a machine to cut loaf-sugar into cubes, operating upon slabs which are either molded in that form or sawn from the loaf
The slab of sugar is laid upon the bench and pushed over the gang of parallel vertical saws d (only one of which shows in the elevation), which cut it into slips; passing onward, these slips are cut into cubes by the co-acting revolving cutters a a. The sugar is held by pressure-rollers c c and spring-clamps e.
