ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for cutting shaped articles from thin material. By way of example, the material can be uncooked dough and the articles can be preforms which are further processed into snack food chips. A rotary cutter includes a first roller having a cylindrical surface with a plurality of article cutters positioned around and projecting outwardly from the cylindrical surface. A second roller has plurality of trim cutters positioned around and projecting outwardly from it cylindrical surface. As the two rollers are rotated, the article cutters and the trim cutters are brought sequentially into shearing engagement to cut the material into articles and trim. Stripping fingers adjacent the outlet of the cutter bite, strip the articles and trim from the rollers for further processing. Preferably, the material is fed to the rollers as a ribbon, and the cutters cut the material into one or more ribbons of articles and ribbons of trim. The ribbons of articles can then be advanced for further processing and subsequent separation. Pressurized gas streams can be used to insure the removal of trim from the edges of the first roller.
