Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine mehrbahnige Verpackungsmaschine zum Dosieren, Abfüllen und Verpacken von pastösen Produkten der Nahrungsmittelindustrie, insbesondere Suppenpaste, mit einer Zuführvorrichtung sowie zugehöriger Dosiereinrichtung mit jeweils den Produktreihen zugeordneten Dosierelementen.The invention relates to a multi-lane packaging machine for dosing, filling and packaging of pasty products in the food industry, in particular soup paste, with a feed device and associated dosing device, each with dosing elements assigned to the product series.

Eine mehrbahnige Verpackungsmaschine der eingangs genannten Art ist durch die deutsche Patentschrift DE-A-38 03 677 bekanntgeworden. Diese Verpackungsmaschine besitzt innerhalb eines Trogs eine sich über die Breite der Produktreihen erstreckende Verteilerschnecke sowie jeweils paarweise den Produktreihen zugeordnete Förderschnecken, mit deren Hilfe abzufüllende Suppenpaste über die Dosiereinrichtung an zu füllende Behälter abgegeben wird. Solche Zuführvorrichtungen in Form von Schneckentrögen ergeben einen relativ schwachen Produktstrom, der bei bis zu vier oder sechs nebeneinanderliegenden Produktbahnen durchaus ein zufriedenstellendes Ergebnis liefert. Bei darüber hinaus gehenden mehrbahnigen Verpackungsmaschinen, die etwa acht, zehn, zwölf oder noch mehr Produktreihen aufweisen, lassen solche Schneckentröge zu wünschen übrig, da in der Regel eine sehr hohe mechanische Überarbeitung der Produkte stattfindet, die nicht nur deren gewünschten schonenden Behandlung entgegensteht, sondern auch sehr hohe Energien erfordert. Außerdem kommt hinzu, daß sehr große Vorlaufmengen notwendig sind, bis bei Inbetriebnahme oder Produktwechsel alle Hohlräume, wie Kanäle, Gänge, Kammern oder dergleichen der Zuführvorrichtung mit Produkt gefüllt sind. Dies führt auch dazu, daß bei Produktwechsel eine vergleichsweise große Restmenge entfernt werden muß, was bei Verpackungsmaschinen mit einer sehr großen Anzahl von Produktreihen auch zu gewissen Entsorgungsproblemen führt.A multi-lane packaging machine of the type mentioned has become known from the German patent DE-A-38 03 677. This packaging machine has, within a trough, a distribution screw which extends across the width of the product series and in each case paired conveyor screws assigned to the product series, with the aid of which soup paste to be filled is dispensed via the metering device to containers to be filled. Such feeding devices in the form of screw troughs result in a relatively weak product flow, which delivers a satisfactory result with up to four or six adjacent product webs. In the case of multi-lane packaging machines going beyond that, which have about eight, ten, twelve or even more product series, such screw troughs leave something to be desired, since usually a very high mechanical reworking of the products takes place, which not only conflicts with their desired gentle treatment, but also also requires very high energies. In addition, very large flow quantities are necessary until all cavities, such as channels, passages, chambers or the like of the feed device are filled with product when starting up or changing the product. This also means that a comparatively large residual amount has to be removed when changing the product, which also leads to certain disposal problems in packaging machines with a very large number of product series.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine zum Dosieren, Abfüllen und Verpacken von pastösen Produkten, insbesondere Suppenpaste, geeignete mehrbahnige Verpackungsmaschine der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die sich auch bei einer sehr großen Anzahl von nebeneinanderliegenden Produktreihen, z. B. mehr als sechs Produktreihen, durch eine schonende sowie gleichmäßige und gute Dosierung bzw. Verpackung des Produktes auszeichnet und zugleich mit geringen Inbetriebnahme- bzw. Produktwechselzeiten auskommt.The invention has for its object to provide a suitable for dosing, filling and packaging of pasty products, especially soup paste, multi-lane packaging machine of the type mentioned, which can also with a very large number of adjacent product lines, eg. B. more than six product series, characterized by a gentle, uniform and good dosage or packaging of the product and at the same time manages with low commissioning or product change times.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Solche Flügelzellenpumpen sind an sich bekannt und in der Süßwarenindustrie, beispielsweise zum Abpacken von Marzipan, eingesetzt worden.Vane pumps of this type are known per se and have been used in the confectionery industry, for example for packaging marzipan.

Durch die DE-A-37 24 456 ist ferner bekanntgeworden, eine Flügelzellenpumpe bei einer Wurstfüllmaschine einzusetzen. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel kommt die um eine vertikale Achse umlaufende Flügelzellenpumpe zusammen mit einer als Zahnradpumpe ausgebildeten weiteren Pumpe zum Einsatz. Dabei wird durch die Flügelzellenpumpe ein Würz- und Zutatenmaterial und durch die Zahnradpumpe Fleischmasse zu einer Stopfanordnung der Wurstfüllmaschine transportiert.From DE-A-37 24 456 it has also become known to use a vane pump in a sausage filling machine. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the vane cell pump rotating around a vertical axis is used together with a further pump designed as a gear pump. A spice and ingredient material is transported by the vane pump and meat mass by the gear pump to a stuffing arrangement of the sausage filling machine.

Durchgeführte Versuche haben nun gezeigt, daß solche an sich bekannten Flügelzellenpumpen, insbesondere dann, wenn sie bei einer nach dem Längsläuferprinzip arbeitenden, vorzugsweise wenigstens sechs Produktbahnen aufweisenden Verpackungsmaschine mit Abstand zueinander in einem das Produkt aufnehmenden Gehäuse angeordnet und gegegenläufig umlaufend angetrieben sind, für zähflüssige bzw. weichplastische Produkte, wie Suppenpaste besonders geeignet sind. Diese Untersuchungsergebnisse sind überraschend, da speziell Suppenpasten bisher nur mit Hilfe von speziell angeordneten bzw. ausgebildeten Schnecken bzw. Schneckentrögen abgefüllt werden.Experiments have now shown that such vane pumps known per se, in particular if they are arranged at a distance from one another in a housing accommodating the product and driven in opposite directions in a packaging machine which operates according to the longitudinal rotor principle, preferably having at least six product webs, for viscous or soft plastic products such as soup paste are particularly suitable. These test results are surprising, since soup pastes in particular have so far only been filled using specially arranged or designed screws or screw troughs.

Mit Hilfe der erfindungsgemäß angeordneten Flügelzellenpumpen, die vorzugsweise im Gehäuse drehbar gelagerte Walzen und in darin radial angeordneten Schlitzen verstellbare, im Gehäuse geführte Leisten aufweisen, läßt sich nunmehr auch bei Hochleistungs-Verpackungsmaschinen mit vorzugsweise mehr als 165 Takten/min auch Suppenpaste in schonender Weise abfüllen. Aufgrund der Verwendung von Flügelzellenpumpen ist eine dosierabhängige Steuerung möglich. Die Steuerung bzw. Verstellung der Leisten mit Hilfe einer Steuereinrichtung, vorzugsweise in Gestalt einer umlaufenden Steuerkurve, ist bei solchen Hochleistungsmaschinen relativ einfach zu verwirklichen.With the help of the vane pumps arranged according to the invention, the rollers, which are preferably rotatably mounted in the housing and radially therein arranged slots, adjustable ledges in the housing, can now also fill soup paste gently in high-performance packaging machines with preferably more than 165 cycles / min. A meter-dependent control is possible due to the use of vane pumps. The control or adjustment of the strips with the aid of a control device, preferably in the form of a revolving control curve, is relatively easy to implement in such high-performance machines.

Für die Erfindung ist besonders wichtig, daß die Walzen nahe des Bodens des Gehäuses im wesentlichen symmetrisch zu einem im Boden des Gehäuses vorgesehenen, vorzugsweise im Querschnitt trichterförmig ausgebildeten Auslaufkanal angeordnet sind, der über einen vorzugsweise gleichfalls im Querschnitt trichterförmig ausgebildeten Einlaufkanal mit der Dosiereinrichtung in Verbindung steht.It is particularly important for the invention that the rollers near the bottom of the housing are arranged essentially symmetrically to an outlet channel provided in the bottom of the housing, preferably with a funnel-shaped cross section, which is connected to the metering device via an inlet channel, preferably also funnel-shaped in cross section stands.

Durch die unmittelbare Zuordnung der Walzen und der Dosiereinrichtung ergeben sich verhältnismäßig geringe Restmengen, die bei einem Produktwechsel entfernt werden müssen. Ebenso werden auch nur geringe Vorlaufmengen benötigt, um beispielsweise nach einem Produktwechsel die Verpackungsmaschine wieder auf Produktionsbetrieb zu bringen. Insgesamt gesehen ergeben sich somit äußerst geringe Rüstverluste sowie geringe Entsorgungsprobleme.The direct assignment of the rollers and the metering device results in relatively small residual quantities that have to be removed when changing the product. Likewise, only small lead quantities are required, for example to bring the packaging machine back to production after a product change. Overall, this results in extremely low set-up losses and low disposal problems.

Schließlich ist für die Erfindung von Bedeutung, daß innerhalb des Gehäuses eine zusätzliche Fördereinrichtung angeordnet ist, die beispielsweise für jede Dosiereinrichtung einen in einem fest an einer Wandung des Gehäuses angeordneten Führungszylinder im wesentlichen vertikal verstellbaren und bis in den Bereich des Einlaufkanals der Dosiereinrichtung reichenden Ausgleichskolben aufweist. Mit Hilfe des Ausgleichskolbens kann die Förderung der durch die Dosiereinrichtung zu bemessenden Produktmenge noch besser gesteuert und kontrolliert werden. Es hat sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, wenn der Ausgleichskolben zwischen den mit Abstand zueinander liegenden Walzen angeordnet ist und sich durch in den freien Enden der Leisten der Walzen vorgesehene Ausnehmungen erstreckt.Finally, it is important for the invention that an additional conveying device is arranged within the housing, which, for example for each metering device, has a compensating piston which is essentially vertically adjustable in a guide cylinder fixed to a wall of the housing and extends into the region of the inlet channel of the metering device . With the help of the compensating piston, the delivery of the quantity of product to be measured by the metering device can be controlled and controlled even better. It has proven to be expedient if the compensating piston is arranged between the rollers which are spaced apart from one another and extends through recesses provided in the free ends of the strips of the rollers.

Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher erläutert.A preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is explained in more detail below.

In der Zeichnung ist an einer im einzelnen nicht dargestellten mehrbahnigen, beispielsweise mehr als sechsbahnigen Verpackungsmaschine zum dosierten Abfüllen und Verpacken von pastösen Produkten, wie Suppenpaste, ein Gehäuse 1 angeordnet, das an seiner Unterseite durch eine Bodenplatte 2 begrenzt ist. Auf der Innenseite, d. h. innerhalb des Gehäuses, sind zwei mit Abstand zueinander liegende Flügelzellenpumpen 3 bzw. Walzen 6 angeordnet, während auf der Außenseite für jeweils eine Produktreihe eine Dosiereinrichtung 4 angeordnet ist.In the drawing, a housing 1 is arranged on a multi-lane, for example more than six-lane packaging machine, not shown in detail, for metered filling and packaging of pasty products, such as soup paste, which is delimited on its underside by a base plate 2. On the inside, i.e. H. Within the housing, two vane pumps 3 or rollers 6 are arranged at a distance from one another, while a metering device 4 is arranged on the outside for each product line.

Wie aus der Zeichnung ersichtlich, sind die Walzen identisch ausgebildet, so daß im folgenden lediglich eine einzige näher erläutert wird. Die beiden Walzen 6 erstrecken sich über die Breite des Gehäuses 1. Sie sind gegenläufig um eine im unteren Teil des Gehäuses 1 angeordnete Achse 5 umlaufend angetrieben. In Schlitzen 7 jeder Walze 6 sind mit Abstand zueinander Leisten 8 angeordnet, die über eine mit gestrichelten Linien angedeutete Steuerkurve 9 derart steuerbar sind, daß das im Behälter 1 befindliche Produkt jeweils durch die sich gegenüberstehenden Leisten der beiden Walzen 6 von der Einlaßseite 11 auf die Auslaßseite 12 einer Zuführvorrichtung 10 transportierbar ist. Im Bereich jedes Schlitzes 7 der Leisten 8 sind Rücklaufkanäle 13 vorgesehen, durch die sich am inneren Ende jeder Leiste 8 ansammelndes Material abgeführt werden kann.As can be seen from the drawing, the rollers are identical, so that only one is explained in more detail below. The two rollers 6 extend across the width of the housing 1. They are driven in opposite directions around an axis 5 arranged in the lower part of the housing 1. In slots 7 of each roller 6 strips 8 are arranged at a distance from one another, which can be controlled via a control curve 9 indicated by dashed lines in such a way that the product in the container 1 is in each case through the opposite strips of the two rollers 6 from the inlet side 11 to the Outlet side 12 of a feed device 10 is transportable. In the area of each slot 7 of the strips 8, return channels 13 are provided, through which material accumulating at the inner end of each strip 8 can be removed.

Jeder Produktreihe der als Längsläufer ausgebildeten Verpackungsmaschine ist wenigstens eine Dosiervorrichtung 4 zugeordnet, die im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel einen Tragkörper 14 aufweist, in dem ein im Querschnitt im wesentlichen trichterförmiger Einlaufkanal 15 angeordnet ist. Dieser steht seinerseits mit einem entsprechend im Querschnitt trichterförmig ausgebildeten Auslaufkanal 16 des Gehäuses 1 in Verbindung. Symmetrisch zu der Ebene zwischen den Walzen 6 ist ein um eine horizontale Achse 17 umlaufender Ventilkörper 18 angeordnet, der eine wahlweise Verbindung des Einlaufkanals 15 mit auf je einer Seite liegenden Dosierelementen (Zylinder-Kolben-Doseur 19) herstellt. Der Doseur 19 weist einen Zylinder 21 und einen darin eingesetzten und verschiebbaren Kolben 22 auf. Während jeweils der eine Dosierraum des auf der einen Seite gelegenen Doseurs 19 mit dem Zulaufkanal 15 in Verbindung steht, ist der Dosierraum des anderen Doseurs 19 mit einem Austrittskanal 23 verbunden, über den das Produkt in einen nicht dargestellten Behälter ausgeschoben wird.Each product series of the packaging machine designed as a longitudinal runner is assigned at least one metering device 4, which in the exemplary embodiment shown has a support body 14, in which an inlet channel 15 which is essentially funnel-shaped in cross section is arranged. This, in turn, is connected to an outlet channel 16 of the housing 1 which has a funnel-shaped cross section. A valve body 18, which rotates about a horizontal axis 17, is arranged symmetrically to the plane between the rollers 6, said valve body selectively connecting the inlet channel 15 to metering elements (cylinder-piston-doser 19) on each side. manufactures. The dosing device 19 has a cylinder 21 and a piston 22 inserted and displaceable therein. While in each case one dosing space of the dosing device 19 located on one side is connected to the inlet channel 15, the dosing space of the other dosing device 19 is connected to an outlet channel 23, via which the product is pushed out into a container (not shown).

Zwischen den beiden Walzen 6 ist eine zusätzliche Fördereinrichtung 24 angeordnet, die im wesentlichen aus einem an der Wandung des Behälters 1 befestigten Führungszylinder 25 sowie einem darin verschieblich gelagerten Ausgleichskolben 26 besteht, der an seinem oberen Ende an einem schwenkbar gelagerten Hebelarm 27 angelenkt ist, der in nicht dargestellter Weise verschwenkbar ist. Das untere Ende des Ausgleichskolbens 26 reicht bis in den trichterförmigen Einlaufkanal 15 des Tragkörpers 14 und er hat die Aufgabe, das Produkt zusätzlich in den Dosierraum einzustoßen. Damit sich der Ausgleichskolben 26 und die Leisten 8 der Walzen 6 nicht gegenseitig behindern, sind in den freien Enden der Leisten 8 entsprechende Ausnehmungen 28 vorgesehen, durch die sich der Ausgleichskolben 26 erstreckt. Damit ferner keine gegenseitige Behinderung des Ausgleichskolbens 26 und des Steuerventils 18 eintritt, ist der Antrieb dieser beiden Elemente so gesteuert, daß keine mechanische Berührung stattfindet. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch geschehen, daß der Ausgleichskolben 26 doppelt so schnell angetrieben wird wie die Umlaufbewegung des Ventilkörper 18 ist.Between the two rollers 6, an additional conveyor 24 is arranged, which essentially consists of a guide cylinder 25 fastened to the wall of the container 1 and a compensating piston 26 slidably mounted therein, which is articulated at its upper end to a pivotably mounted lever arm 27 which is pivotable in a manner not shown. The lower end of the compensating piston 26 extends into the funnel-shaped inlet channel 15 of the support body 14 and it has the task of additionally pushing the product into the metering space. So that the compensating piston 26 and the strips 8 of the rollers 6 do not interfere with one another, corresponding recesses 28 are provided in the free ends of the strips 8, through which the compensating piston 26 extends. So that no mutual hindrance of the compensating piston 26 and the control valve 18 occurs, the drive of these two elements is controlled so that no mechanical contact takes place. This can happen, for example, in that the compensating piston 26 is driven twice as fast as the orbital movement of the valve body 18.

Es versteht sich, daß die Erfindung nicht nur auf das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt ist, sondern im Rahmen der Ansprüche auch Abänderungen zuläßt. So ist es auch denkbar, anstatt Suppenpaste Margarine oder Butter abzufüllen. Hierbei sind jedoch die Taktgeschwindigkeiten der Verpackungsmaschine sowie die Anzahl der Produktreihen gegebenenfalls zu beachten.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment shown, but also allows modifications within the scope of the claims. So it is also conceivable to fill margarine or butter instead of soup paste. However, the cycle speeds of the packaging machine and the number of product lines must be taken into account if necessary.
