Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system for the packaging-appropriate arrangement of elongated foods delivered in bulk, such as Pretzel Sticks.
  • the pretzel sticks delivered as bulk goods are arranged by vibrators in such a way that they lie parallel next to each other in a horizontal position. In this position, they are then transversely conveyed, i.e. transversely to their longitudinal direction, the salt sticks then being weighed, then introduced in portions into a horizontal cylinder, which is then rotated through 90 °, so that the salt sticks are then provided in portions in the vertical direction in accordance with the packaging.
  • the pretzel sticks are deflected several times by means of vibrators, which means that considerable force is exerted on the pretzel sticks.
  • the aim is to create an installation with which the aforementioned disadvantages can be avoided.
  • the pretzel sticks are supposed to cover shorter distances in order to organize them properly; Furthermore, the multiple redirections should be avoided. Farther the pretzel sticks should not be supported by vibrators. This also makes it possible to obtain a higher capacity.
  • the system to be created should have a simple construction, which makes the system cost-effective and less prone to failure.
  • the system according to the invention is characterized by a plurality of downpipes, which are arranged on a circular path around a vertical, and are directed downwards between weighing devices for bulk pretzel sticks and lower removal devices for pretzel sticks portions, such that the cross-sectional dimension of each downspout is only for a subset of a pretzel stick. Portion is dimensioned such that each downpipe is divided into sections along its extension, that at least one of these sections is connected to a vibrator, and that between these sections horizontally movable gate valves for gradually conveying the subsets and bringing them together into one portion by free fall are arranged.
  • pretzel sticks With this system according to the invention, it is now possible for the pretzel sticks to be aligned parallel to one another solely by the downpipes and to be brought into the vertical position suitable for packaging.
  • the common pretzel sticks to be arranged have a diameter of 4-5 mm and a length of 120 mm, for example.
  • Such pretzel sticks delivered in bulk should be arranged into portions according to the packaging, whereby one portion can be, for example, 250 g. This target weight should be adhered to as precisely as possible.
  • the salt sticks delivered as bulk goods are brought in FIG. 1 from above in a manner not shown to a distributor, which delivers the salt sticks delivered as bulk goods to several weighing devices 1.
  • the system can e.g. 10 have such weighing devices 1, which lie on a circular path around a vertical 2. In Figure 1, only two such weighing devices 1 are shown. Each weighing device weighs a subset of the portion mentioned, e.g. a third or a quarter of the serving. With ten weighing devices 1, ten partial quantities are thus weighed and made available, so that when a portion of 250 g is put together from e.g. four portions in each weighing device 1, a portion of about 62.5 g is provided.
  • the system according to FIG. 1 has a plurality of downspouts 3, which are located on a circular path around the vertical 2 and are directed downwards, each downpipe 3 being divided into sections 4-9. In a system with the ten weighing devices 1 mentioned, ten downpipes 3 are then also present. Each downpipe 3 is directed downward and extends between an associated overhead weighing device 1 and a lower removal device 10. As already mentioned, the partial amount of pretzel sticks is still in the weighing device 1 as bulk material.
  • those three weighing devices are determined via a computer, not shown, which at the same time release their subsets into the downpipes 3 by opening a bottom flap in the weighing device, the three weighing devices whose weighed subsets together being closest to the mentioned target weight being determined come.
  • the structure of a downpipe 3 will now be explained, all downpipes of the system having the same structure.
  • the uppermost section 4 of the downpipe 3 can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the section 4 has a mouth edge 11 which faces the bottom of the weighing device 1.
  • the cross-sectional dimension of section 4 changes very much from the mouth edge 11 to the opposite mouth edge 12 at section 5.
  • Section 4 essentially has a funnel shape, the cross-sectional profile of section 4 being very important, so that the bulk material from weighing device 1 to Cross-sectional area 11 falling salt sticks through the inner wall of section 4 to be aligned with each other so that it enters the next section 5 as a bundled subset.
  • This section 5 is, as it were, a connecting cone to the funnel-shaped section 4.
  • a section 5 is adjoined by a cylindrical section 6, which has a first slide 13 as the bottom surface.
  • the three subsets mentioned are located in three selected thereof in a bundled vertical position, standing on the slide 13. In this position of the partial quantities, however, it is not yet guaranteed that individual pretzel sticks do not stand on top of one another, since special precautions must be taken by the salt grains on the outer surface of the pretzel sticks so that no pretzel sticks sit on one another in the longitudinal direction.
  • the first slide 13 is opened step by step, so that the assigned partial quantities fall from the sections 6 into the sections 7 below and here on a second slide 14 stand up at the bottom of sections 7.
  • the subsets assigned to one another are now in sections 7.
  • Each section 7 has at least twice the length of a pretzel stick, so that pretzel sticks sitting on top of each other in the axial direction can also be accommodated in section 7.
  • Sections 7 are connected to a vibrator 15, by the action of which all sections 7 and the pretzel sticks therein are excited to vibrate, so that possibly pronged pretzel sticks are brought into their juxtaposed position, so that the whole bundle of the subset is the one mentioned Has length of 120 mm.
  • FIG. 3 shows a plan view of the sections 7 of the downpipes, it being seen that the sections 7, lying in a transverse plane to the vertical 2, are combined to form a ring. This entire ring of sections 7 is vibrated by the vibrator 15.
  • FIG. 4 showing a plan view of the sections 8.
  • the sections 8 and 9 run conically downwards, so that the subsets are increasingly brought closer to the center, ie to the vertical 2, the tube 16 also tapering conically downwards and finally ending.
  • the selected subsets have then been combined and stand on a third slide 17. Below the third slide 17 there are the removal devices 10 for the portions.
  • the removal devices 10 comprise a plurality of standing portion tubes 18 for one portion of pretzel sticks each.
  • FIG 1 only one such portion tube 18 is shown;
  • three portion tubes 18 can be provided, which stand on a turntable 19, the axis of rotation 20 of which lies outside the vertical 2.
  • This vertical 2 can be called the center axis of the entire system.
  • the aforementioned three portion tubes are arranged distributed over the circumference, so that the turntable rotates by 120 ° step by step.
  • the sections 4 of the downpipes 3 adjoining the weighing devices 1 are more inclined to the vertical 2 than the remaining sections 5-9 of the downpipes.
  • the pretzel sticks delivered as bulk goods are thus arranged in the vertical position by the shape of the sections of the downpipes and brought into the vertical position in accordance with the packaging, with only a single point (section 7) vibrating pretzel sticks standing vertically, so that the pretzel sticks are treated very gently is achieved with a relatively short transport route. There is thus significantly less breakage and the vertical conveyance of the pretzel sticks, step by step and in free fall, means that little external force is exerted on the pretzel sticks. Since the pretzel sticks are not conveyed by vibrators, a high capacity can be achieved.
  • the portion of pretzel sticks is then dispensed in an unillustrated manner, in a vertical position, into a packaging, not shown.
