21182 TITLE OF THE INVENTION CUTTING ASSEMBLY ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A cutting assembly is provided for use in cutting vegetable products, such as potatoes and the like, into a longitudinally extending central core and a plurality of longitudinally extending outer strips having a generally arcuate cross section. The cutting assembly is mounted along an hydraulic flow path defined by an inlet pressure conduit for passage of the product one at a time at a rela- tively high velocity into cutting engagement with a core knife and a plurality of strip knives and for separation of the core and the outer strips for respective flow along an inner core discharge conduit and a concentric outer strip discharge conduit. The cutting assembly is supported within an assembly housing between the inlet conduit and the discharge conduits with the core knife having a cylindri- cal shape for mounting at the upstream end of the core discharge conduit and defining a circular leading cutting edge along the axis of the flow path. The plurality of strip knives are angularly arranged between the core knife and the assembly housing to extend radially therebetween for supporting the core knife in position and to define radially extending leading cutting edges for engaging the product. The core knife and the strip knives cooperate with the housing to define flow paths through the cutting assembly of substantially constant cross section for passage of the appropriate product pieces without substantial reduction in the hydraulic pressure applied thereto.
