Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A potato chip cutting apparatus, the apparatus comprising an annular-shaped cutting head and a central impeller coaxially mounted for rotation within the cutting head for delivering potatoes radially outwardly toward the cutting head, the impeller having a base with an upper surface across which potatoes are, in use, delivered to the cutting head, a plurality of knives serially mounted annularly around the cutting head, each knife having a first cutting edge extending substantially vertically and spaced from the cutting head to provide a gap between the first cutting edge and the cutting head, each knife also having a second cutting edge extending substantially horizontally and extending radially at least partly across the gap, the second cutting edge being located at least 50 mm above the upper surface of the impeller to define a cutting zone for cutting a single potato slice between the upper surface and the second cutting edge.
