| Abstract |
Sliced fruits are commonly used by restaurants or fruit stalls for fruit desserts. It is time consuming to slice fresh fruit free hand using a regular knife and also cannot produce uniform cuts. The Manual Precision Fruit Slicer consists of a chopping board fitted with accessories that holds the fruits for stability and a calibrator to adjust the thickness of fruit slices. After each slicing process, there is a releaser and ejector using a spring system to free the newly-fruit slicers from the knife and dropping them in a bucket. The Manual Precision Fruit Slicer is a definite necessity to slice fruit for mass production at a high production rate which is economical for delivery to restaurants and fruit stalls, giving uniform cuts in less time than it takes by hand. It is also safer than a regular knife and protects hands. Being manually operated, it also saves electricity. |
