Abstract

A method and apparatus for producing homogeneous bread crumbs including a conveyor for conveying bread loaves that securely holds the bread loaves while they are sliced by a rotary involute knife slicer into slices of substantially uniform thickness, a dicer that dices the slices into homogeneous bread crumbs and a chute with a deflector and a compressed air source which conveys the bread slices from the rotary involute slicer to the dicer and aligns and spaces the slices for input to the dicer.
