ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for cutting blocks of bulk material such as cheese and the like into slabs and bars wherein an elongate cutter filament is supported by and between supply and take-up spools so as to extend transversely of a slab cutting station adapted to receive a block of bulk material therein. The supply and take-up spools are operable to move the cutter filament through the block to sequentially cut slabs therefrom and to incrementally advance the cutter filament after each cut so as to remove any given segment of the cutter filament from the effective cutting length before it fatigues to possible failure. After cutting slabs from the block, the slabs are passed through a bar cutter die operative to cut the slab into a plurality of bars of substantially uniform size and weight.
