ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for cutting helically shaped pieces from potatoes has a top portion forming a drive section, a center portion forming a feed section and a lower portion forming a cutting section. The drive section comprises a plurality of rotatable shafts extending in a circle about a central axis. The feed section comprises a plurality of rotatable rods arranged in a circle about the central axis, each rod at its upper end connected to a lower end of a shaft. At least the lower part of each rod has a spiral outer surface. The cutter section includes a cutter of hollow conical form having a series of spiral channels on its interior surface, each spiral ending in an aperture, the apertures forming cutting edges. Potatoes are fed through the feed section, on rotation of the rods, by the spiral surfaces of the rods, and pushed into the cutter, which on rotation, cuts helical pieces from potatoes.
