Abstract

This paper presents the influence of constructive and functional parameters of the cutting knives on the cutting process. The role of this paper is to highlight that some parameters related to knife geometry (cutting angle, blade shape, blade thickness) affect the operation of cutting vegetables in terms of energy consumption.
