Tray bake and cake products – ultrasonic cutting
Benefits
Superior quality cut, compared to conventional cutting methods due to high frequency sound waves
Ultrasonic process is particularly well suited to delicate, soft or crumbly products that would ordinarily suffer yield loss or be spoilt during the cutting phase.
Ability to slice a more diverse range products and toppings without compromise on quality and yield.
Ability to adjust portion dimensions quickly and simply to suit changes in tray bake shrinkage and customer

Tray bake products – ultrasonic cutting
Typical considerations
Multiple portion configurations are usually required from the trays.
Desired cutting temperature is to be established
A variety of recipes, bases and toppings should ideally be listed and trial portioned.
Design issues
Determination of ultrasonic characteristics and sonotrode type
Determination of optimum portioning speed based upon number of portions per tray.
Determination of trim removal requirements
