Definitions

  • the invention relates to a machine for dosing, filling and packaging a doughy or pasty foodstuff, which is fed through at least one screw conveyor from a screw trough via a guide channel to a dosing device and via a subsequent shaping channel (mouthpiece) to at least one packaging container which, after filling and closing, is supplied with a plurality of identical packaging containers is packed in a large package.
  • Such machines belong to the state of the art.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a novel machine with higher packaging performance.
  • the invention shows a novel way with which it is possible to increase the packaging performance of the machine despite maintaining the usual drive powers.
  • a filling device has already become known from US Pat. No. 3,879,917, in which the filling material is brought into the packaging container by means of a screw conveyor of a metering device and from there. There, however, it is not a matter of dosing and filling and packaging a doughy or pasty food, but rather packaging of powdery materials which are filled down via the screw conveyor via a plastic bag drawn over the dosing device. There is also a guide channel behind the screw conveyor, which, however, merges directly into an expanding mouthpiece, from the lower end of which the powdery material emerges. There is no funnel-shaped or obelisk-like expansion of the guide channel. A friction-reducing coating of at least the guide channel is also not provided. Such a device is therefore not suitable for dosing, filling and packaging a pasty or pasty food.
  • Such a device emerges from FR-PS 2 o86 969 (7013573), but in principle only the mouthpiece which is arranged directly above the packaging container and which consists of a housing and a closing body movably mounted therein is shown there in principle. However, a routing channel in the sense of the subject of the application or even a coating of this routing channel is also not provided there.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic, not to scale representation of a machine 10 for dosing, filling and packaging a pasty or pasty food 12, which is fed via a means of a screw conveyor 14 via a guide channel 15 to a dosing device 16, portioned there not weight or volume and is finally filled into a packaging container 18 via a molding channel 17 (mouthpiece).
  • the packaging containers 18 are fed to the metering station 17 'via a rotating table 19 rotating in a horizontal plane.
  • packaging containers can also be produced immediately before the packaging process in a folding station located below the metering station 17 'and not shown in FIG. 1.
  • the invention takes a different route to success, in that it provides that at least the guide channel 15 arranged between the screw trough 13 and the metering device 16 and the shaping channel 17 adjoining the metering device 16 are designed to be funnel-shaped or obelisk-like in the conveying direction of the food 12 are, and that at least the guide channel 15 is lined with a friction-reducing coating.
  • a funnel-shaped widening of the guide channel 15 or the molded channel 17 is considered if these parts of the machine 10 have a circular cross-sectional area.
  • An obelisk-like extension is useful if these machine components - as shown for example in Fig. 2 - have a rectangular or square cross-sectional area 22.
  • FIG. 2 shows a sectional view of the guide channel 15 of a first embodiment of the invention.
  • This is a machine in which this guide channel 15 has only a single conveying path, the inner cross section 22 of which is also rectangular.
  • a funnel-shaped or obelisk-like extension is to be understood to mean that, instead of the jacket surfaces standing perpendicularly on the respective base surface, jacket surfaces are provided which diverge uniformly at a certain angle in the conveying direction of the food 12. In practice, it has proven to be expedient to provide angular values below approximately 2 ° between a plane assumed to be the reference plane and perpendicular to the base surface and the outward-facing inner lateral surface of the guide duct 15 or the molded duct 17.
  • Such a measure prevents jamming along the conveying path of the food 12 and ensures a constant flow of food.
  • the movement of the food 12 to be packaged within the machine 10 can advantageously be further facilitated in that at least the guide channel 15, which also has the task of redirecting the food 12 to be conveyed in a different direction, with a friction-reducing coating 21 (FIG. 2) is lined.
  • a plastic that is approved for food processing machines such as, for example, polytetraethylene fluoride (PTFE), is particularly suitable as the friction-reducing coating 21.
  • PTFE polytetraethylene fluoride
  • two counter-rotating screw conveyors 14 are arranged in the screw trough 13 and move the food 12 in the direction of the guide channel 15.
  • guide grooves 41 are provided in the interior 40 (FIG. 4) of the screw trough 13, which essentially has the shape of hollow cylinders parallel to one another, which are primarily are introduced into the surface areas of the inner lateral surface 42 lying opposite on the outside.
  • the guide grooves 41 preferably extend in the longitudinal axis direction of the hollow cylinders.
  • FIG. 4 shows a sectional illustration through the screw trough 13 along line 4 - 4 of FIG. 1.
  • the cross-sectional area on the guide groove 41 is preferably part of a circular area.
  • the guide channel 15 comprises two spatially separate conveying paths which, with a kidney-shaped opening 30, receive the food 12 conveyed out of the screw trough 13 (FIG. 3).
  • Each of the two extensions of the kidney-shaped opening 30 is flush with the cross-sectional area of the screw conveyor 14 previously arranged in the conveying direction.
  • the food 12 After crossing the guide channel 15, the food 12 reaches the metering device 16, in which it is portioned by weight and / or volume and then fed to a shaped channel 17 (mouthpiece).
  • the form channel 17 has the task of introducing the portioned food 12 into the packaging container 18 and if necessary, to bring it into a shape adapted to the shape of the packaging container 18.
  • the shaped channel 17 can have a rectangular cross-sectional area in order to produce a cuboid strand of the food 12.
  • the metering device 16 itself comprises a rotary slide valve 50 known per se, which is explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the rotary slide valve 50 which is preferably mounted on the fly, occupies two positions which are not explained in the drawing. In a first position, it enables the passage of the food 12 to a first metering cylinder 16 'or 16 ", which is only schematically indicated in FIG. 1. During this work cycle, there is no connection between this metering cylinder and the molding channel 17. In a subsequent position of the rotary slide valve 50 a connection is established between the first metering cylinder 16 'or 16 "to the molding channel 17 so that the food 12 initially located in the metering cylinder 16' can be ejected into the packaging container 18.
  • the other dosing cylinder 16 "is filled from the replenished food supply.
  • the dosing cylinders are actuated hydraulically, electrically or mechanically in a manner known per se.
  • the rotary slide valve which is mounted on the fly in its housing 51 (FIG. 5) 50 on diametrically opposite sides on the one hand bounded by flat surfaces 53 and on the other hand by cylinder jacket surfaces 52 and disc-shaped in such a way that the cylinder jacket surfaces 52 only make up a part of a circumference, preferably lying at approximately 120 °.
  • the packaging container 18 is filled with a well-defined amount of the food 12 and sealed. After being closed, it is transferred to a transport device 70 (FIG. 1) leading outward in the radial direction 18 ′, which transports it to a collective packaging station 80 of the machine 10 and which is arranged above the turntable 19. In this collective packaging station, several identical packaging containers 18 are put together to form a larger collective packaging.
  • the transport device 70 is explained in detail with reference to FIGS. 7, 8 and 9.
  • the transport device 70 comprises an endlessly circulating toothed belt 73 which carries drivers 71, 72 which are assigned to one another in pairs at equal intervals around the circumference.
  • the drivers 71, 72 which are assigned to one another in pairs, are likewise arranged at a distance from one another, in such a way that they are aligned with one of their side edges 74, 75.
  • the driver 71 leading in the direction of travel of the toothed belt 73 has a substantially smaller driver surface than the assigned following driver 72. This has the following relation.
  • the driver 71 which has the smaller driver surface, engages eccentrically on a side edge of the packaging container 18, which has a rectangular cross section, and rotates it by approximately 90 °.
  • the follower 72 following in the running direction of the toothed belt 73 engages the edge of the packaging container 18, which is now at the rear, and conveys it to the packaging station 80 in the direction of the arrow.
  • the measure described above is necessary because the packaging container 18 in the area of the metering station 17 assume a different position than in the collective packaging station 80.
