ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for slicing vegetables includes a stationary member holding stationary knives about the periphery of a rotating impeller hub. The hub has a hollow central opening for receiving vegetables. A plurality of circular tubular extensions having circular openings therein extending radially from the central opening in the impeller hub. Each circular opening has an impeller tube located therein. The impeller tube transports the vegetable outwardly by centrifugal force against the cutting knives. As the impeller hub rotates inside the stationary knife holding member the impeller tube simultaneously rotates upon the impeller hub such that each successive slice of the vegetable is at an angle, preferably 90 degrees, to the preceding slide. A bearing is located between the impeller tube and the impeller hub to allow this relative rotation. A pair of seals, one on each side of the bearing, prevents water and other contaminants from entering the bearing.
