Abstract

A food processing machine includes a slicing device, a slicing conveyor, a classifier device, and an exposed load cell device. The slicing device is adapted to slice a food product. The slicing conveyor is adapted to move the food product sliced by the slicing device. The classifier device is adapted to classify the food product sliced by the slicing device. The exposed load cell device is adapted to weigh the food product sliced by the slicing device. The exposed load cell device is located between the slicing conveyor and the classifier device. The exposed load cell device is permanently exposed providing accessible cleaning.
