DD142986A3 - AUTOMATIC FILLING DEVICE FOR CHOCOLATE CAVITY - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for filling the at the production of chocolate hollow bodies, but not desired, drip edges and is particularly suitable for Removal of the drip edges from larger hollow chocolate bodies, such as e.g. Half-shells for presents etc. The aim of the invention is the physically heavy work by a mechanical or automatic To replace filler and this in the existing Insert production lines. The invention can be applied in the fields of Technique are applied where hollow bodies are manufactured in casting molds, the casting molds are subsequently turned, thus dripping edges arise and these unwanted dripping edges must be removed. This applies in particular to the chocolate or confectionery industry and possibly prefabrication in the ceramic industry. - Figures 1 and 2 -

Description

Title of the invention

Automatic Abspaohtelvorrichtung for chocolate hollow body

Field of application of the invention

The invention relates to a device for filling the resulting in the production of hollow chocolate but not desired dripping edges.

The device is suitable for filling the drip edges of the chocolate hollow bodies located in casting molds, in particular the half-shells for gifts.

Characteristic of the known technical solutions

In the known devices, the filling is done in the form that the chocolate hollow body still in the mold pushed in a straight line over a cutter and the drip edges are thus scraped. This method is suitable for small hollow body, such as. As chocolates, but not for larger hollow body such. B. half shells for gifts u. Ä., As the shear forces are too large and thus the edges erupt. To avoid this, the drip edges are manually removed with larger hollow bodies with high power and labor costs.

Object of the invention

The aim of the invention is to do the physically heavy work,

while maintaining the required quality characteristics, by means of a mechanical or automatic filling

To replace device, insert it into the existing production line and thus shorten the lead time and reduce manufacturing costs.

Explanation of the essence of the invention

The invention has for its object to overcome the above shortcomings and disadvantages and to provide a device with which the drip edges of all forms of hollow chocolate bodies, without breaking the bands, as possible automatically leveled off.

According to the invention, this is done in that a knife carriage, with at least 2 vertically and counter-rotating and movable in or transverse to the direction of travel knives, is fixed in a horizontal plane on a base frame «The filling always takes place, starting from the center of the hollow body, each half of inside out.

• exemplary embodiment

According to known methods for producing chocolate hollow bodies, the following technical procedure results:

- filling the molds

- Further transport and turning of the mold

- Cooling of the half shell formed

- Continuous transport to the leveling device

- filling the drip edges

To carry out this process, special working lines have been developed and implemented.

However, these working lines have the disadvantage that to ensure a continuous total flow no, suitable for all types of hollow body Abspachtelvorriohtungen are known.

In the spackling device according to the invention, filled and cooled casting mold, which is in an inverted form, is secured from displacement by special hold-downs against displacement.

The leveling itself is done by a located horizontally under the mold knife carriage.

This knife carriage is provided with at least 2 vertical and counter-rotating and arranged in or transverse to the direction knives.

The knives are arranged so that only half of the knives in the knife carriage are in use and the drip edges are always filled from the inside out. _v

The same or opposite horizontal or vertical direction of movement of the spatula knife is shown in the drawings (Fig. 1 ... 4).

The horizontal direction of movement is always the same direction, but in each case only one half of the blade located in the knife carriage performs a working stroke and the second half a Leerhub and the. Work always on the. Axis of the hollow chocolate body begins, d. H. directed from the inside out. After an opposite movement of the knife in the vertical direction, performs the second half of a working and the first half of an empty stroke. '.

Nevertheless, the entire mold can be moved to the next operation and started with the filling of the present in the next mold chocolate hollow body.

The knives are operated by pneumatic cylinders, which are driven by a special control system (cam, limit switch and electronic control units).

For removal of the spatula chips, a hot water-heated double jacket pan with flange-mounted .chico pump and pipelines, which dissolves the spatula or pumps it into the agitator located on the heat-treatment side, is mounted under the detaching device.
