Method and apparatus (50) for reducing food products (96). The apparatus (50) includes a cas-ing (62), an impeller (60) adapted for rotation within the casing (62), and a cutting device (82). The casing (62) has axial and circumferential openings (66,68) for product (96) entering and exiting, respectively, the cas-ing (62). The impeller (60) includes a drum (72), pad-dles (74) mounted to the drum (72), and pockets de-fined by and between adjacent pairs of paddles (74) that are radially aligned with the circumferential opening (68) of the casing (62) as each pocket travels past the circumferential opening (68). The cutting device (82) includes a knife (84) disposed at the circumferential opening (68) of the casing (62) and oriented perpendic-ular to the axis of the impeller (60). The knife (84) lies on a sector of the casing (62) and has a cutting edge (85) located within an interior of the casing (62) so that the knife (84) extends into the path of the paddles (74) and passes through relief slots (90) defined in the pad-dles (74) as the impeller (60) rotates.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil (50) permettant de réduire des produits alimentaires (96). L'appareil (50) comprend un carter (62), une roue (60) adaptée pour une rotation à l'intérieur du carter (62), et un dispositif de coupe (82). Le carter (62) comporte des ouvertures axiales et circonférentielles (66, 68) permettant au produit (96) d'entrer et de sortir, respectivement, du carter (62). La roue (60) comprend un tambour (72), des palettes (74) montées sur le tambour (72), et des poches définies entre et par des paires adjacentes de palettes (74) qui sont alignées dans le sens radial sur l'ouverture circonférentielle (68) du carter (62) à mesure que chaque poche passe devant l'ouverture circonférentielle (68). Le dispositif de coupe (82) comprend un couteau (84) disposé au niveau de l'ouverture circonférentielle (68) du carter (62) et orienté de manière perpendiculaire par rapport à l'axe de la roue (60). Le couteau (84) repose sur un secteur du carter (62) et comporte un bord tranchant (85) se trouvant dans une partie intérieure du carter (62) de sorte que le couteau (84) s'étend dans la trajectoire des palettes (74) et traverse les fentes en relief (90) définies dans les palettes (74) à mesure que la roue (60) tourne.
