Abstract

A cutting wheel (1) which is provided for being rotatably mounted on an apparatus (100) for cutting food products, the cutting wheel (1) comprising a plurality of oblong cutting elements (10; 40) extending radially between a hub (2) and an outer rim (3) of the cutting wheel. Each cutting element (10; 40) comprises a main cutting knife (11) having a front side (12) with a main cutting edge (13) directed to the forwards rotation direction (5) of the cutting wheel (1) and a plurality of additional cutting knives (14-17; 41-42) mounted in an angle on a side (18) of the main cutting knife (11) opposite from where the food products are fed. Each of the additional cutting knives (14-17; 41-42) has a front side (24-25; 43-44) with an additional cutting edge (34-35; 45-46) directed towards the front side (12) of the main cutting knife (11). For each two successive additional cutting knives (14-15; 41-42) of each cutting element (10; 40) there is a predetermined difference between a first distance (D1; D5), measured from the main cutting edge (13) to the additional cutting edge (34; 45) of a first cutting knife (14; 41) of the two, and a second distance (D2; D6), measured from the main cutting edge (13) to the additional cutting edge (35; 46) of a second cutting knife (15; 42) of the two.
