ABSTRACT:
A machine is described for partially slicing or perforating baked goods such as muffins, buns, and the like, whereby the muffin is either perforated or cut, but not entirely, to facilitate handling in production operations and to provide a sliced or perforated product, as demanded by consumers, that will adhere together until the muffin is ready to be broken apart prior to toasting or eating. The pre-sliced or perforated muffin is produced by automatically guiding the muffins from a production conveyor line into either a series of blades for making the perforations or into a cutting wheel for pre-slicing which can be adjusted to pre-slice the muffins to form a uniform top and bottom section thereof and a uniform depth of cut predetermined to provide a desirable size lip on one end of the muffin to hold the top and bottom sections together. The invented machine may be mounted onto a production conveyor belt by means of a framework and is provided with two drive motors and a serrated disk for either slicing the muffins or for selectively guiding the baked goods through the series of knife blades for forming perforations and back onto the production line conveyor after the baked goods are cut.
