Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-lane machine suitable for metering, filling and packaging pasty products, in particular soup pastes, with a feed device with a screw trough having at least one screw conveyor and a downstream metering device with a mouthpiece each associated with a product series.
  • Two-lane machines are known in practice, in which, for the purpose of uniform filling of the product, a metering piston assigned to each product series is fed to the metering device via the screw trough.
  • a metering piston assigned to each product series is fed to the metering device via the screw trough.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of creating a more than two-lane machine which has a largely uniform product distribution and thus exact metering over the entire machine width in a confined space.
  • This task is achieved by using a combination of at least one screw conveyor assigned to each product line and one common to all product lines Inlet funnel solved. As a result, the product mass is distributed well and evenly and under pressure over the entire width of the machine and at the same time gentle treatment of the product.
  • a transversely extending distributor screw is expediently arranged within the inlet funnel, which preferably forms a structural unit with a housing accommodating the conveyor screws, while the conveyor screws are placed essentially vertically within the housing. Due to the distribution screw arranged laterally within the inlet funnel at the top of the screw conveyors, a lateral filling is possible via the inlet funnel, so that the product mass can slide continuously, with gravity additionally supporting.
  • the screw conveyors are arranged in pairs to form two adjacent product lines and extend as far as the baling chamber of the metering device, largely the same pressure can be achieved across the entire machine width, which contributes to perfect filling.
  • only one of the conveyor screws of each pair is driven by a drive device via an adjusting mechanism having a stepping drive, and the other conveyor screw in each case needs to be connected to the conveyor screw assigned to it. It has proven to be advantageous if the axes belonging to a pair of conveyor checks, starting from the inlet side to the outlet side of the housing, converge to one another. This further promotes the promotion of the product.
  • a control linkage is suitable for driving the respectively driven screw conveyors, which preferably consists of lever arms fixedly connected to the driven screw conveyors and an adjustment bar which is slidably mounted in a guide arranged on the top of the housing.
  • the basic setting of the control linkage is advantageously adjustable.
  • the adjustment bar is connected on the drive side to a connecting rod which is articulated in a steplessly adjustable manner at its free end, which in turn is connected to a drive linkage, possibly with the interposition of a cylinder-piston unit.
  • the control linkage can be applied to the cylinder-piston unit without the entire machine drive running. This will be done, for example, at the beginning of a new product bottling or at the end of a product bottling.
  • Fine adjustment for each pair of screw conveyors, is also provided.
  • the connection between each lever arm and the adjustment bar is adjustable, preferably via a pin-slot connection, the pins being guided in sliding blocks of the adjustment bar.
  • the product feed system according to the invention is at least conditionally CIP cleanable.
  • the housing and the inlet funnel are mounted in a height-adjustable manner in a support frame which is firmly anchored on the machine, so that the device can be moved into a cleaning position.
  • nozzles are arranged in the housing, to which air lines and separate water lines can be connected.
  • a six-lane machine (not shown in detail in FIG. 1) for dosing, filling and packaging pasty products, in particular soup pastes, has a feed device 1 and a dosing device 2 in the area of the filling station, via which the product to be filled is passed to the product receptacle, e.g. Packs 3 can be delivered, which sit in cell sheets 4.
  • the latter can be moved along the individual workstations of the filling machine by a drive, not shown.
  • the three product chutes on the left are shown before the filling process, while the three product chutes on the right are shown during the filling process.
  • the feed device 1 consists of a housing 5 in which a total of six essentially vertically arranged screw conveyors 6 are rotatably mounted.
  • the drive of the screw conveyor 6 is explained in more detail below.
  • an inlet funnel 7 is arranged on the housing 5, which together with the housing 5th forms a structural unit.
  • a feed screw 8 extending transversely thereto is provided laterally next to the screw conveyors within the feed hopper 7.
  • the distribution screw 8 is driven by a bevel gear drive 9 from a drive motor, not shown.
  • the conical screws 6 extend from the top of the housing 5 to its lower end, to which a pressing chamber 11 of the metering device 2 is connected.
  • the screw conveyors 6 are each assigned in pairs to two adjacent product rows. This means that a common press chamber 11 merges into two adjacent metering chambers 12, in which the product into the via a rotary slide valve and a metering piston 13 (FIG. 3), not shown, by opening and closing the metering chamber 12 and a mouthpiece 14 in connection therewith Pack 3 delivered or prevented from escaping.
  • the screw conveyors have interrupted screw blades 15 in their upper part, while they have a continuous screw blade 16 in the lower part.
  • the interrupted screw blades ensure that the product is shredded further.
  • the axes 17 of the screw conveyors run convergingly from one another from the inlet side to the outlet side of the housing 5, wherein they essentially extend in planes which are delimited by two adjacent metering spaces.
  • the screw conveyors 6 are connected to drive pins 18, which in turn interact with a stepping drive 19 of an adjustment mechanism 21.
  • This adjustment mechanism 21 includes a control linkage 22 which has an adjustment bar 23 and in each case a lever arm 24 which is connected to a driven screw conveyor 6 and also interacts with the stepping drive 19.
  • a cylinder-piston unit 28 is used to adjust the connecting rod 26 in the link lever 27.
  • the link lever 27 is pivotally mounted about an essentially horizontal axis 28 and is fixedly connected to an arm 29 to which a drive rod 31 is connected, which is connected to the other Interacts via an intermediate lever 32 with a circumferentially driven groove curve 33.
  • a further cylinder-piston unit 34 is arranged in the drive rod 31, the meaning of which is explained further below.
  • the housing 5 including the inlet funnel 7 is mounted in a height-adjustable manner in a support frame 35 firmly anchored on the machine.
  • an adjusting spindle 36 is provided which passes through a guide block 37 connected to the housing 5 and can be actuated by a drive shaft 39, which is to be operated manually, via a bevel gear drive 38.
  • the respective second screw conveyor of a pair of screws is driven by a gear wheel 10 from the driven screw conveyor.
  • At least one part of the housing 5 which carries the guide for the adjusting bar 23 is pivotably mounted on a holder 41.
  • a product trough 43 can be used on an intermediate plate 42 of the metering device 2 in order to remove product residues from the feed device at the end of production, after which the machine can optionally be cleaned.
  • FIG. 4 shows the cleaning position of the product feed.
  • Nozzles 44 are installed in the housing 5, to which water or air-carrying lines 45 are connected.
  • a corresponding line system 46 for discharging the air or water is installed below the metering device 2.
  • An additional water supply can also be connected in the area of the inlet funnel 7.
  • the filling machine works in the following way: From a product line (not shown), the product is fed into the inlet funnel 7, in which the product is comminuted and processed by the circulating distributor screw 8. From the screw conveyor 8, the product reaches the area of the screw conveyors 6, which loosen the product further and convey it to the pressing chamber 11 of the metering device 2. By appropriately loading the dosing elements within the dosing device, the product then enters the dosing space and is then dispensed into the pack 3 via the dosing piston via the mouthpiece 14.
  • the basic setting for the rotary movement of the driven screw conveyors 6 takes place via the articulation of the connecting rod 26 on the link lever 27.
  • a fine adjustment takes place in the area of the lever arms 24, which are provided for this purpose with a longitudinal slot 20 and a cooperating pin 30.
  • the pin 30 engages in a sliding block 40, which is arranged on the adjustment bar 23.
  • the feed device In the production position, the feed device assumes the position shown in FIG. 1.
  • the product residues still in the housing can be released into the product trough 43, which is inserted into the space that has become free, which results when the housing 5 has been displaced upwards relative to the support frame 35.
  • the cylinder-piston unit 34 can now come into effect, which acts on the connecting rod 26 and the adjusting bar 23 by repeatedly actuating its piston via the link lever 27, so that the product is pumped out of the housing 5.
  • the housing 5 can then be moved down again.
  • the cleaning systems can be connected and then a preliminary cleaning can be carried out by supplying air, in order to then carry out a continuous cleaning of the supply device with a cleaning liquid.
