SlicerA machine for cutting thin and uniform tissue sections, supported by hard paraffin or other substances. Each cut advances automatically forward (towards the blade) by the required distance using a thickness gauge, typically with a gradient of 1 micron. When cutting tissue sections embedded in paraffin, due to the adherence of the wax edge to the previous slice, a strip of multiple sections is formed.

The working principle of a slicer is quite simple; it uses the sharp cutting surface of the slicer to cut objects and materials into slices in proportion to a point or width. Suitable for production or other uses.

Different slicers employ different slicing methods. For instance, in experiments where cells or tissues need to be processed for microscopic observation, it facilitates the study. Optical microscopes utilize either rotary or sliding slicers.

In the papermaking industry, slicing machines are also required, including disk-type, drum-type, and spiral slicing machines, etc. The disk-type slicing machine consists of parts such as the blade disk, housing, feeding trough, and transmission device. Its working principle is to use the heavy blade disk as a flywheel to stabilize the slicing process.

Another method involves cutting polymer strips into granules. This requires a specialized cutting machine, which is composed of guide plates, feeding rollers, pressure rollers, and a rotating blade disk. The working principle is as follows: the blade disk is driven by a variable-speed drive, the feeding roller is driven by the blade disk through a set of gears, and the blade disk is equipped with multiple blades according to the particle size. By replacing the gears, the cutting length can be adjusted, and the variable-speed drive can change the feeding speed of the strips.
