Abstract

Combination smoke generator (1) for treating meat, sausage or fish products with a friction smoke unit (4) and with a smoke pot (3) arranged in the smoke generator (1).

Description

State of the art

In systems that are equipped with a smoke generator, can Meat products, fish or other foods are smoked. These systems usually have a treatment chamber in which, for. B. inserted or inserted a trolley or a frame on which to be smoked Goods are housed. The treatment chamber is a smoke generator assigned by which smoke is generated to the treatment chamber initiate.

Through the DE 197 30 591 C1 a smoke generator with a friction smoke generator has become known. The way the smoke generator works is based on the principle that the friction (friction) of a rapidly rotating steel wheel (friction wheel) on a wooden stick generates the smoke for smoking the goods. The quality of the smoke and the intensity of the smoke depend, among other things, on the pressure of the wood on the friction wheel, the peripheral speed (speed) and the design of the friction wheel. These factors must be optimally matched to one another in order to be able to carry out a high-quality smoking process.

In the DE 195 17 817 C2 describes a smoldering smoke or smoldering smoke generator with a container in which smoke is generated by smoldering or smoldering of wood chips or sawdust from wood with a lack of oxygen.

Object and advantages the invention

For additional flavor, the smoke generator according to the invention both a friction smoke unit and a smoldering smoke or Verschwelrauchbehälter in the form of a pot with a round or angular cross-section on. Depending on the variation of the smoke, fish, meat or sausage be smoked differently using different types of smoke. The smoldering or smoldering smoke container can be used as initial equipment or retrofitting be installed in the smoke generator. Through commitment and application the invention is the variety of tastes, which was previously only by consuming Installation of multiple smoke generators could be achieved with installation a combination smoke generator possible. At the same time, the invention environmentally friendly, d. H. operated hermetically closed.

The arrangement of the friction smoke unit and the smoldering pot or smoldering pot in a door of the smoke generator for one space-saving accommodation in the smoke chamber.

In a preferred embodiment is a glow or sweat pot height adjustable. The smudge is high variable so that there are different settings in smoke density and smoke intensity in the smoke chamber.

An air circulation fan of the smoke generator ensures for one Introduction of the swelling air flow into the glow or smoldering pot so that there under A smoldering or smoldering process is initiated.

A separate blower for the in the swelling air flow directed to the glow or smoldering pot can be omitted if the one led into the smoldering or smoldering pot Swelling air flow generated by the friction wheel of the friction smoke unit becomes. This airflow can by flow aids, Baffles or the like are supported.

A controller is preferably used for separate or simultaneous operation of the friction smoke unit and the glow pot or conspiracy pot provided. A selectable smoke setting and automatic operation of the smoke generator is guaranteed.

A preferred embodiment the invention is shown in the schematic drawing and is explained based on the following description. In the figures are Parts of a smoke generator shown only very schematically. The representational Features are only indicated and are not necessarily true to scale understand. It shows:

1 the back of a smoke generator door;

2 a side view of a glow smoke pot installed in the door.

Description of the embodiment

From the 1 it can be seen that a smoke generator 1 a door 2 has in which units for smoke generation are housed. For one, smoke can be created with the help of a friction smoke generator 4 and on the other hand with the help of a smoldering pot or smoldering pot 3 be generated. The smoke generator 1 is used for the production, preservation and flavoring of meat, sausage and fish products.

The door 2 closes a smoke-generating room, which is connected upstream of a treatment room, not shown in the figure, which is connected to the smoke-generating room via appropriate smoke channels for discharging the smoke.

Incense in the form of squared timbers 5 is on a friction wheel 6 pressed. For the sake of simplicity, only one squared timber is shown 5 pictured while in practice several squared timbers 5 can be accommodated so that permanent smoke generation can be carried out. Through the friction of the rotating friction wheel 6 on a wave 7 arises on the underside of the squared timber 5 Warmth, so that the wood begins to smolder or smolder slightly. By varying the parameters of contact pressure, peripheral speed (speed) and design of the friction wheel 6 a certain smoking level can be set. The friction wheel 6 is provided on its outer circumferential surface with friction edges that the friction wheel 6 straight or sloping and surrounded by toothed rings. If the fiction wheel 6 driven by an electric motor, the bottom of the squared timber 5 under one. Heat generation rubbed off, so that the smoke required for smoking is created. Different operating conditions in the field of friction generation, such as. B. wood density, wood type or residual moisture of the wood, have a decisive impact on the friction generated and the smoke produced. A fine fragrant natural aroma is created.

In addition to friction smoke, smoldering smoke can also be generated in the system. This is the smoldering pot 3 (please refer 2 ) provided with wood chips or wood shavings. The wood chips or sawdust start after an automatic ignition with the help of electrically operated ignition rods 8th to smolder or smolder. A lid 9 serves as flame protection. Of course, the smoldering or smoldering pot has 3 Means for removing the ashes (for example, a rest). To prevent the chips or sawdust from burning, the smoldering pot is used 3 via a blower from below through holes in the bottom of the smoldering pot 3 a swell air flow is supplied, which is set so that there is always a lack of oxygen. This affects the proportion of hydrocarbon compounds in the smoke and affects the quality of the smoke. Smoke can come from the glow pot 3 through openings 10 a cover 11 escape.

The smoldering pot 3 is like that in the smoke generator 1 arranged that the friction wheel 6 or one by the electric motor of the friction smoke generator 4 driven fan is used to promote the swelling air flow required for the smoldering process. The smoldering pot 3 is about a bracket 12 height adjustable on the door 2 attached so that the swell air flow can be varied. The position of the smoldering pot 3 is regarding the fan or the friction wheel 6 changed. This affects the smoke intensity and smoke density at the smolder smoke generator 3 out. With the help of the smolder smoke generator 3 In addition to the friction smoke, a further flavoring of the smoked food can be achieved.

The smoking process takes place through the interaction of both aggregates 3 and 4 in circulation. To transport the smoke generated, either the recirculation fan of the smoke generator 1 or a separate blower is used. The smoldering smoke process and the friction smoke can be combined as desired, that is to say optionally as separate, individually or sequentially or simultaneously, fully automatically controlled processes.
