What's an ultrasonic food cutter?

Ultrasonic food cutter is an advanced device that uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibration technology to cut food. It is widely used in the food processing industry. Its core principles and features are as follows:

1. Working Principle

1.1 High-frequency vibration:

The cutting blade generates ultrasonic vibrations with a frequency of 20 kHz to 40 kHz (tens of thousands of small amplitude vibrations per second) through a piezoelectric transducer.

1.2 Microscopic cutting effect:

The vibration causes the blade to produce "high-frequency micro-impact" when it contacts the food, reducing the friction of traditional cutting, making it easier to cut the food, especially suitable for soft, sticky or fragile materials (such as cakes, cheese, frozen foods, etc.).

1.3 Low-temperature cutting:

Less heat is generated by friction, which prevents the food from deforming, melting or deteriorating due to high temperature, and keeps the cutting surface clean and smooth.

2. Main advantages

2.1 High precision and aesthetics:

The cutting edge is smooth and free of debris, suitable for high-demand food shapes (such as sushi, mousse cakes).

2.2 High efficiency and hygiene:

● Reduce adhesion and reduce cleaning frequency;

● Ultrasonic vibration can inhibit bacterial growth and meet food processing hygiene standards.

2.3 Wide applicability:

● Soft food: bread, jelly, pizza;

● Frozen food: ice cream, frozen meat;

● Multi-layer composite food: chocolate sandwich, cream sandwich pastries.

2.4 Extend tool life:

Low friction operation reduces blade wear and reduces replacement frequency.

3. Typical application scenarios

3.1 Baking industry:

Cutting cakes and bread slices to avoid squeezing and deformation.

3.2 Dairy processing:

Neatly cut cheese and butter blocks.

3.3 Frozen food processing:

Precisely cut ice cream and frozen fish fillets to reduce the risk of thawing.

3.4 Pre-prepared meals and fast food:

Efficiently pack ready-to-eat products such as pizza and sushi rolls.
