NNP Pneumatic grid cutter

• Portioning soft fruits and vegetables into consistent cubes or strips for salads, ready meals, or further processing.
• Sizing confectionery items such as fudge, caramel, or jelly blocks.
• Preparing ingredients for baking, canning, or freezing operations.
• Cutting various dairy products like cheese blocks into smaller portions.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 100 kg/hr to 500 kg/hr, depending on product density and grid size.

Power supply

Pneumatic grid cutters primarily require a compressed air supply, typically 6-8 bar, with minimal electrical power for controls if automated.

Construction material

Units of this type are commonly constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Grid sizes

Exchangeable cutting grids are commonly available, offering cube or strip sizes typically from 5mm to 50mm.

Footprint

For mobile units, the footprint is typically compact, often around 800mm x 800mm x 1200mm (LWH), allowing for flexible placement.

Maintenance requirements

Routine maintenance typically involves cleaning, inspection of pneumatic seals, and occasional sharpening or replacement of cutting wires/blades.
