High Frequency Food: Better Cutting with Ultrasonics


You’re cutting yourself a single slice of cake. You grab a butter knife out of the drawer, hack off a moist wedge, and munch away to your mouth’s delight. The next day, you’re cut…

These blades most commonly find themselves used in processed food production lines, where a bulk material must be cut into individual bars or slices for later preparation or packaging. Companies like Dukane and MeiShun have demo videos that show the uncanny ability of their products to slice through even the stickiest foods without issue. Even complex cakes, like the vanilla slice, with layers of stiff pastry and smooth custard, can be cut into neat polygons with appropriate ultrasonic tooling.
