FAM Mantis industrial slicer

The FAM Mantis is a high-capacity industrial slicer designed for the continuous processing of fruits and vegetables in the food industry. Manufactured by FAM Stumabo, a specialist in food cutting technology, this machine provides precise and uniform cuts even in high-volume production environments.

The transport system using V-shaped belts aligns the product longitudinally before entering the cutting system, ensuring stable feeding and consistent results.

Operating principle

The product enters the machine via a feeding conveyor and is guided by two V-shaped conveyor belts that align it correctly. The product then comes into contact with a high-speed rotating knife wheel, where the cutting process takes place.

The combination of the knife wheel rotation speed, the number of knives installed and the conveyor belt speed allows different cutting types to be achieved with high precision.

Possible cutting types

• Smooth slices
• Crinkle slices
• Halving cuts
• Quarter cuts

Cut thickness can vary approximately between 0.8 mm and 60 mm depending on the installed knife assembly.

Products that can be processed

• Carrots
• Cucumbers
• Zucchini
• Leeks
• Potatoes
• Elongated fruits
• Other firm vegetables

Thanks to its robust design and V-belt transport system, the machine is particularly suitable for elongated products and can easily be integrated into washing, sorting and packaging lines.
