1. An apparatus for the slicing of food products, in particular a high-performance slicer, comprisinga product feeder (11, 11

  • ) which includes a plurality of belt conveyors (13) which are arranged parallel to one another, which each include an endless belt (15) serving as a product support for a product (17) to be sliced and which can be driven together in order simultaneously to feed a plurality of products (17) which each lie on one of the belts (15) to a cutting plane (S) in which at least one cutting blade (23) moves, in particular in a rotating and/or circulating manner,wherein the belt conveyors (13) have a common drive which includes a drive shaft (19) by which the products (17) lying on the belts (15) can be fed to the cutting plane (S) at a common base conveying speed;

    wherein the belts (15) are changeable in length by elastic stretching and circulate in a stretched state so that the individual conveying speed of each belt (15) is dependent not only on the speed of the drive shaft (19), but also on the degree of stretching of the belt; and

    wherein each belt (15) has a setting apparatus (25) associated with it which is made to individually change the degree of stretching of the belt (15) and thus its individual conveying speed.
