Definitions

  • the invention concerns measuring equipment for lumps or pieces of dough in a volumetric sense from a funnel-shaped container sufficiently filled with dough, this equipment is applied in manufacturing of bread and especially on, what are usually called dough dividers, which have been designed for the accu ⁇ rate dividing of amounts of dough of which separate loaves have to be baked.
  • Similar equipment namely a dough distributor is known from the Dutch TIL no. 8 320 291.
  • This is a dough divider operating by means of positive pressure, provided with a supply of dough and a pair of rotating rollers with blades for the generation of a positive pressure in the dough while leading it from the above mentioned supply to a transmission passage, leading to one or more volumetric measuring sections, while the above mentioned rollers should be sufficient in diameter and they should rotate in opposite directions with such a speed that the dough of a good gas-maintaining quality either is obtained or is maintained while producing a positive pressure increa ⁇ sing along the direction of flow in the passage through the rolls, which is sufficient to fill the measuring section or sections with dough while under pressure.
  • the shortcomings attached to the above mentioned equipment are that, mechanically speaking, the equipment is rather complica ⁇ ted and, as a result, expensive. Moreover, the dough is put under pressure, which has an adverse effect on the gluten (a kind of protein compound) in the dough, causing a decrease of quality.
  • the concerning dough distributing machine mainly consists of a transport section applied to the bottom of a dough funnel and moving forward and backward axially.
  • This has an opening at the front and across this opening an up and down movable, and at least one, measu ⁇ ring section with a slide with an axially slidable measuring piston, which in its lowest position closes the opening at the front of the transport section and in its highest position, where the measuring section and the transport .section are in contact, characterrized in that the top of the transport section, between its opening at the front and the slide, a sleeve or slit has been applied, which in its maximum position should connect the inside of the transport section with the atmosphere.
  • the purpose of the invention is to supply an equipment or apparatus for measuring dough lumps or dough pieces (dough distributor) without the above mentioned shortcomings, such installation is characterized in that the funnel-shaped con- tainer, which is supplied with an appropriate opening at the bottom, is usually applied almost horizontally sliding over a stroke and mechanically movable over the top of a block-shaped unit, wherein at least one cylindrical measuring section in the top is saved, with a mechanically moveable piston-shaped body inside, while the above mentioned opening of the funnel- shaped container can be vertically applied on top of the cylindrical measuring section, while the moveable piston- "shaped body can fill the entire useful space of the cylindri ⁇ cal measuring section and in the top part of the movable piston-shaped body there is a cavity-shaped space, which is sealed with a plate-shaped filter while also in the top part of the piston-shaped body means have been applied for creating a vacuum and for creating a pressure respectively in the cavity-shaped space under the plate-shaped filter, while a bore has been applied towards the upper annular-
  • the lower part of the wall of the funnel-shaped container is conically-shaped towards the opening, and the opening covers the entire bottom surface and the lower part of the walls of the funnel-shaped container is designed as dough cutter on the inside of the container and as dough scraping and pushing means on the outside of the container.
  • the advantages are there is a better dough supply to the measuring section and that when the funnel-shaped container is moved the dough is cut at the right level and that, later on, the lump of dough that has been pushed out and is moved along over the block-shaped unit.
  • a further development of the equipment in accordance with the invention is that in the upper part of the block-shaped unit at the end of the above mentioned stroke of the funnel-shaped container there is also a cavity-shaped space, which space is supplied with a plate-shaped filter and the cavity-shaped space is also supplied with means to create a vacuum or to lower the pressure to normal.
  • the advantage of this is that the dough in the funnel-shaped container is drawn down and is also partially degassed.
  • a further development of the equipment in accordance with the invention is that in the lower part of the conically-shaped walls towards the opening of the funnel-shaped container a supply system for the application of a lubricant is designed on the inside of these conically-shaped walls and that the lubricant is oil.
  • a further development of the equipment in accordance with the invention is that in the funnel-shaped container a grid of nearly horizontal bars is designed with connected vertical pins and that in the funnel-shaped container nearly horizon ⁇ tally arranged bar-shaped knives have been applied.
  • the advantage is that the dough is much better degassed, because the gas has a much shorter way through the dough before it reaches an exhaust channel.
  • the piston-shaped body is equipped with an annular-shaped edge at the front, in which the plate-shaped filter is retained.
  • the advantage is that there is no dough drawn between the piston wall and the wall of the cylindric measuring section. Due to this the wearing will remain within limits and the piston will be prevented from getting jammed.
  • Fig. l shows a vertical sectional view of the equipment for measuring lumps of pieces of dough in a volumetric sense in accordance with the invention, namely in the dough drawing stage;
  • Fig. 2. shows a vertical sectional view in accordance with figure 1, as the funnel-shaped container is at the end of the stroke above a drawing section and the measured lump or piece of dough has been ejected from the measuring section;
  • Fig. 3. shows a longitudinal sectional view of the piston- shaped body in accordance with the invention
  • Fig. 4. shows a vertical sectional view of the funnel-shaped container with facilities to supply the lower part of the cylindrical-shaped walls on the inside of the funnel-shaped container with lubricant;
  • Fig. 5. shows a vertical sectional view of the funnel-shaped container with at the bottom a nearly horizontal bar with knives to cut through the dough indicated.
  • FIG l a vertical sectional view of the equipment 1 for measuring lumps or pieces of dough 2 in a volumetric sense in accordance with the invention is shown.
  • the equipment or apparatus 1 includes a funnel-shaped contai ⁇ ner 3 (also called dough container) , which is sufficiently filled with dough 4, a block-shaped unit 5 with at least one measuring section 6, in which a piston-shaped body 7 is ap- plied which is mechanically movable over a stroke.
  • a cavity-shaped space 9 is applied to the top part of the piston-shaped body 7 (see figure 3) , which is sealed on the outside with a plate-shaped filter 10. Further the annular-shaped edge 13 at the front of the piston-shaped body 7 is applied with the usual clearance in the measuring section 6.
  • under- or overpressure in the cavity-shaped space 9 has the consequence that airsuction can take place through the plate-shaped filter 10 and/or along the annular- shaped edge 13.
  • the lower part of the cylindrical-shaped walls 14 has a sharp knife-shaped ending 15.
  • the funnel-shaped container 3 can be moved nearly horizontally over a stroke S in the direction of arrows 16 and 17.
  • the funnel-shaped container 3 is in the most right-hand position and the dough is being drawn down and degassed by means of another cavity-shaped space, which is supplied with a plate-shaped filter 18 and which is also supplied with means 19 to create a vacuum or to lower the pressure to normal.
  • the lump of dough 2 is ejected by the piston-shaped body.
  • the funnel- shaped container moves to the left (direction of arrow 17) and pushes the lump of dough 7 forward with the pushing means 21 over the outside of the funnel-shaped container 3 and subse ⁇ quently the lump of dough 2 falls on a not specified means of conveyance for further handling, as is shown in figure 1.
  • the measured lump of dough is drawn into an annu ⁇ lar-shaped cavity at the upper/inner wall side of the ⁇ ylin- drical measuring section 6 by an annular-shaped filter 22 and is drawn against this annular-shaped filter by means of crea ⁇ ting underpressure. This underpressure is created by means of 23.
  • FIG. 3 shows a large-scale drawing of the piston-shaped body 7, showing the details more clearly.
  • Figure 3 also shows the annular-shaped recesses 28 for the double ring sealing.
  • Figure 4 shows the supply system 24 for the lubricant on the cylindric inner wall 14 of the funnel-shaped container 3 via the distributing system.
  • the lubricant can be oil.
  • Figure 5 shows a system of nearly horizontal bars 26, to which, for instance, pin-shaped knives 27 for cutting the dough have been applied, so that the dough can be easily degassed by the plate shaped filter 10.
