Description

Overview and state of the art:

At the above Machine - further Called history novelty, it is a different kind of Slicer than we know it so far.

The main difference is in that at the novelty a band knife instead of the usual circular knife as a cutting tool is used.

The material to be cut becomes almost vertical standing up to the band knife, which increases the possibility the direct placement of the cut disc results because in In contrast to the circular knife, there is no obstacle in the way (e.g. knife axis).

This space is also used for special systems for controlled and systematic storage, positioning and Further transport of the cut slices required.

The specialty of novelty is that it is also very thick slices of brittle cut products cuts and undamaged deposits because, in contrast to the known chain depositors, no forced guidance and impaling of the cut slices is done.

Bread z. B. is an ideal item to be cut, the use in bakery shops is therefore awesome.

Introduction and possible uses novelty:

The direct filing system comes with much less technology than the well-known chain deposit, what the Manufacturing costs and thus the purchase price reduced.

Thanks to the variable system concept the novelty can be used almost indefinitely in e.g. Supermarkets and Bakery shops. Here are just a few options

• Cut slices (up to 36 mm thick if required) unlimited (until cutting material is used up) or until to the preset number of pieces with direct storage - to the automatic transport in 3 directions or 180 degrees or for direct filling of containers - to a Packaging element with manual or automatic forwarding (e.g. for the welding element) - to a Compartment or stacking system.

The novelty is in the backshop area the direct bread slicers (sickle or eccentric circular knives, Gate), which is almost always in the background due to its enormous size or the normal slicer. To the big one Machines have the advantage of space requirements and purchase price, as well as the placement on the sales counter (customer contact) and the flexible application options. (For details, in the technical description)

Opposed to the small slicer the infinite benefit of making work easier and safer, but also in optics. In the backshops, some of which are classy (Precious woods, Colors of the company logos, etc.) is the origin of the slicer as an actual butcher's item, not to be overlooked, in terms of handling this parallel can also be established.

The novelty is visually evident very appealing and can in the color design the desires of Customized.

But brand new in this context, that the back of the slide (customer side) with a removable frame is in which the operator can put his current advertisement and thus about has an effective and flexible advertising space.

Finally, the advantages of the band knife can be mentioned as a disposable cutting means, which all mentioned machines exist:

• Low purchase costs of the band knives
• Always a good cut
• No high grinding costs
• No double keeping of expensive knives (replacement during the grinding)

And the risk of injury when cleaning:

• When the band knife is removed there are none.

Summary:

The novelty can be effective Loading machine can be used in the whole food trade, but also play a basic role in automated processes.

technical description

In the above cutting machine, called novelty in the further course of the description, the cutting is carried out by means of a band knife ( 6 ), which has two rollers ( 8th . 14 / 15 ) is guided and driven.

The rollers have a collar ( 8a ), which prevents the band knife from jumping off when the cutting pressure is high and are sufficient for the lateral guidance of the band knife.

The band knife is guided vertically via two guide wipers made of food-grade plastic ( 9 . 16 / 17 ), which simply fits into a U-shaped bracket ( 9 . 18 ) are pushed. A small locking plate ( 18a ) prevents the scrapers from tipping in this direction, while the band knife movement automatically pushes the scrapers against the rear wall of the bracket ( 18 ) presses. The guide wipers ( 16 / 17 ) fulfill a double function: They give the band knife Sta stability in the vertical direction and wipe off any residues and deposits (crumbs, grease, etc.) so that they do not get between rollers ( 14 / 15 ) and knife ( 6 ) reach. (Protection claim 2)

The cutting takes place by moving the material to be cut in a straight line over the running knife belt (toothed for bread, without setting), in a sled ( 1 ) guided.

A special feature is that the back of the sledge ( 8th . 1R ) is used as a mobile advertising space. It is provided with an interchangeable frame and ensures increased sales and short time at the customer. (Protection claim 3)

The novelty can cut thick slices (up to 36 mm), which is clearly different from previous slicers takes off and enables many special tasks.

It plays an essential role as a system recording ( 1 . 1a symbolic) serving part of the carriage ( 1 ). The decisive factor is the fact that all systems below the parts ( 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 ) are carried along, which is important for the storage of the cut discs and their further transport. (Protection claim 1)

1 symbolically shows the schematic sequence of the cutting and depositing process for material to be cut thicker slices, here eg bread.

Dangerous system: driver ( 5 ) and collector plate ( 4 )

The bread is loose in the sledge ( 1 ) clamped and stands on the stop plate ( 2 ), it can fall due to its own weight, which is supported by an additional remnant holder (does not appear from the sketch). The stop plate ( 2 ) is vertically movable and therefore responsible for the adjustment of the pane thickness (0 - 36 mm, standard)

The sled ( 1 ) now moves (motor-driven) towards the fixed retaining plate ( 3 ). The bread is passed over the running knife ( 6 ), whereby a disc is cut off. The disc wants to fall down, but is driven by the driver ( 5 ) which, in connection with the slide ( 1 ) stands and therefore has the same direction and speed of the bread. The driver ( 5 ) consists of individual rods, which serve as a deflector ( 2 . 2a ) designed part of the stop plate ( 2 ) drive through. The deflector ( 2a ) prevents the disc from being carried in the reverse direction, the disc now lies on the collecting plate ( 4 ). The deflector ( 2a ) can be activated permanently or individually by activation (does not appear from the sketch). (Protection claim 4)

Before the next cutting process begins, the collector plate ( 4 ) with the pane by a path corresponding to the pane thickness so that the next pane can lie on it. In this way, an entire bread can be stacked exactly.

The collecting plate is surrounded by a (not shown in the sketch) shaft with open sides and can be swung forward ( 3a ) so that a bag can now be slipped over the shaft. When pulling back the bag, you take the sliced bread through the open sides of the shaft, it is then in the bag without touching the slices ( 3a , symbolic), which, in contrast to the manual slicer, created excellent hygienic conditions for the novelty.

Cutting process for rolls and baguette sticks.

System at risk: All Systems out / roll cage (Fig. 10).

The stop plate ( 2 ) is shut down accordingly, the carriage ( 1 ) is switched off.

The roll cage ( 10 , symbolic side view and top view) is on the stop plate ( 2 ) mounted, which is not apparent from the sketch.

The bun cage consists of rigid boundaries ( 19 ) on the side, as well as elastic boundaries ( 20 ) above. The filling is done manually by simply pushing the rolls one after the other into the cage. The rolls in the process of being cut are advanced by the following rolls. (Protection claim 5) The cage is designed so that the hand cannot reach the band knife. The last rolls are fed with a special pusher (does not appear from the sketch.)

Cutting and depositing process for sausage:

Dangerous system: e.g. Packaging floor (Fig. 4)

Driver out, deflector ( 2a ) inactive.

A base plate as part of the packaging, e.g. plastic, cardboard, etc. ( 4 . 11 ) is inserted into the guide rails ( 10 ) of the corresponding system. The number of slices is entered (not described and outlined). The cut-off pane arrives on the base plate.

Two rubber rollers ( 8th . 9 ) spring from above and below to the edge of the base plate. One of the rollers (not visible) is provided with a freewheel, which means that the base plate is moved a little further with each slide stroke, i.e. after each disc, which leads to a fan position. After the set number of panes has been processed, the base plate can be removed again and passed on for welding, for example. Protection claim 6) It is also possible to first stack the individual base plates with the fan layers, similar to bread as described above. In this case, the retention of the Base plates via the individual activation of the deflector ( 2a ) reached.

In addition, the Disks also on a conveyor belt using various systems be spent (does not appear from the sketch).

The examples ( 5 . 6 . 7 ) should only refer to the variety of possible uses. 5 symbolizes the carrying of endless packaging material on the system carrier ( 1a ), at 6 is there a continuous film ( 12 ), which automatically aligns with the top film after creating the fan position ( 13 ) connects and welds in the X direction while the layers are separated in the Y line. 7 should indicate the possibility of a single sheet removal (eg separating sheet between cheese slices).
