Description

Heinrich. Döpke Z. dough container filling machine y machine factory

2980 North

The invention relates to the adaptation of our dough container filling machine (utility model protection number G 7410359.6 dated April 29, 1974) to the dough consistency (dough yield) that has changed in recent years and has to be processed.

Our current filling machines can primarily process soft bread doughs (dough yield at least 170). This means that soft doughs can be placed in baking tins easily and with the exact weight.

Firmer doughs, on the other hand, are not deposited with a smooth surface due to the design of the feed slide, which results in slices of bread with different weights when the baked dough strands are cut. The aim of this invention is therefore to create a filling machine that guarantees consistent dough weights, even when dough types with a firmer consistency are processed.

In order to achieve this objective, the way in which the baking pan is filled needs to be changed. Previously, filling was done using a profile slide that was lowered into the baking pan.

This invention, on the other hand, is based on the fact that the filling nozzle (previously a movable profile slide) is rigidly arranged and, in contrast, the baking mold is raised at the beginning of the dough filling and is continuously lowered again until the dough filling is finished.

Advantages over the previously known versions

1.) Both firm and soft doughs are placed precisely with a smooth surface into the baking pan.

2.) ^Because the filling nozzle is rigid, signs of wear, such as those seen after a long period of operation with the previous profile nozzles, are

,/ sliders occurred excluded.

This means that the automatic filling system is more durable and less susceptible to faults.

The accompanying drawings show a schematic representation of the automatic filling system; they show:

Figure 1: Side view of the dough container filling machine with beginning dough

filling (beginning of the working position) Figure 2; Side view of the dough container filling machine with completed dough filling

filling (end of working position).

As can be seen from Figure 1, the dough container filling machine in the illustrated embodiment is shown as a mobile device. The finished dough is taken over by a kneading machine and fed to the receiving hopper (item 1). Below the receiving hopper there is a dough conveyor screw (item 2) which, driven by a control motor (item 3), feeds the dough to the filling nozzle (item 4). The baking molds are transported by a conveyor chain (item 5). The speed of the conveyor chain can be controlled via the control drive (item 6) depending on the dough squeezing speed. When the baking mold (item 7) passes the electrical switch (item 8), the pneumatically operated cylinder (item 12) lifts a steel plate (item 9) and thus the baking mold. At the same time, the filling nozzle closed by the slide (item 10) is opened by means of the pneumatically operated cylinder (item 11) and the dough strand that flows out is deposited in the baking pan. The filling time is determined by an electrical time relay. The baking pan is lowered again when the filling process is completed.
