ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for slicing a loaf of bread includes a frame, first and second drums rotatably coupled to the frame and aligned in a vertical plane, at least one endless slicing band having a cutting edge being passed around the first and second drums to form a figure eight with an up leg and a down leg with the cutting edge of the band up leg facing in the same direction as the cutting edge of the band down leg. A mechanism is provided for rotating the first drum to drive the slicing band in a circle so that the cutting edge of the band up leg and the cutting edge of the band down leg cross each other at a point. The cutting edges have a horizontal velocity at the crossing point so that the cutting edges can engage and pull the loaf through the crossing point at a predetermined velocity. The apparatus further comprises a conveying element for horizontally conveying the loaf at a predetermined velocity into the slicing band at the crossing point.
