Device for slicing food blocks

A device for slicing food product blocks comprises a machine frame 1, a product feed system with a cutting edge 5 provided at the end and a cutting head housing 3 with a rotationally driven blade 13, which rotates in a cutting plane determined by the cutting edge and comprises a bearing arrangement 7, an adjusting means being provided, by means of which the position of the cutting circle 4 of the blade is adjustable relative to the cutting edge within the cutting plane defined by the x- and y-coordinates and the cutting head housing is adjustable in the y-direction relative to the machine frame, the device having adjustment means 11 - 13 which adjusts the bearing arrangement of the blade in the x-direction relative to the cutting head housing. It is thus possible to arrange units such as traction belts for example on the cutting head housing whilst allowing adjustment of the blade in the x/y direction.
