Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for packaging foodstuffs with a recess, in particular meat and sausage products with a recess, and poultry with an exception, according to the preambles of claims 1 and 8.
- the above object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Since the end of the tube section which is opposite the end of the tube section which is passed through is placed over the food, the proposed solution enables the end of the tube section which is intended to be placed over the food to be gripped easily because it has not previously compressed to the small diameter of the food cavity had to become. Furthermore, there is no longer any danger that the end to be put over the foodstuff will become stuck due to the moisture absorbed by the recess during the passage, and therefore the fitting can only be carried out with difficulty or no longer at all.
- the end of the hose section which is widened before the tube section is passed through the recess of the foodstuff, is grasped by a gripping device during or shortly after the widening, and the hose section is pulled so far over the insertion mandrel by means of the gripping device that the rear end in the pulling direction lies at least approximately against the rear end in the pulling direction of the insertion mandrel.
- the food can either be pushed onto the insertion mandrel in the pull-over direction or the insertion mandrel can be inserted into the food provided.
- the food should be pushed as far onto the insertion mandrel or this into the Foodstuffs are introduced such that the rear end of the insertion mandrel in the pull-over direction or the end of the insertion mandrel having the end of the tube section which is passed through protrudes from the recess of the food.
- a gripping device can grip the end of the tube section which is intended to be slipped over the food, which may have already been widened, and to encase the food until at least the other end of the Guide hose section so that the food is covered both in the region of its recess and on the outside with the material of the hose section.
- the gripping device provided for covering the hose section over the insertion mandrel can be used here.
- a separate gripping device can be provided, wherein the gripping device pulling the hose section over the insertion mandrel transfers the possibly widened end of the hose section to the first-mentioned gripping device and returns to its starting position, where it can already grip the next hose section.
- the end of the hose section that is slipped over the food can be closed by means of a closing device.
- a closing device for this purpose, it can be provided that, in order to close the end of the hose section which is placed over the food, it is moved together with the food along the insertion mandrel in such a way that the food passes over the end of the insertion mandrel at which the end of the Hose section is located, protrudes together with this hose section end.
- the closing device detects the end of the hose section which is led over the foodstuff and the other end of the hose section and at least closes the end of the hose section which is led around the foodstuff.
- a welding or gluing process can be provided for closing. It is particularly advantageous if the closing device sets a closure element, in particular a clip, for closing the end of the tube section that is passed over the foodstuff. After the hose section which has been put over is closed, any excess hose material can be cut off by means of a cutting device provided. The air in the hose section can be sucked out beforehand.
- the hose section can be produced in different ways.
- a continuous tube is first formed from a film material, in particular a film material that is capable of roasting and / or cooking and / or freezing, which is cut to length accordingly.
- the tube section is obtained from an already formed, continuous tube material by being cut off by means of a cutting device.
- the cutting device can also be used to cut off excess material after closing the end of the tube section which is passed over the foodstuff
- the tube section is obtained from a foil material suitable for this, in particular a roasting foil
- FIGS. 1 to ⁇ show in a symbolic representation individual method steps of the method according to the invention.
- the device according to the invention for feeding a continuous tube material 1 has a feeding device 2, 3, 4.
- the walls of the hose material 1 lie one on top of the other, so that the hose material 1 is wound as compactly as possible.
- To open the hose material 1 drawn off from the material roll 2 in the feed direction A (see FIG. 1), one is to be opened at the end of the feed path Opening device or a device 5 for widening the front end of the hose material 1 in the feed direction A is furthermore provided with a gripping device 6, a cutting and Locking device 7 (cf. FIG. 2), an insertion mandrel 11 and a suction device 16 (cf. FIG. 6) for extracting the air from the bag formed from the tube material 1
- the hose material 1, which is wound on the material roll 2 is guided over possibly existing deflection rolls 3, 4 in the feed direction A to the opening device 5, where the front opening of the hose material 1 in the feed direction A is widened and this widened end of the hose material 1 detected by means of the Greifein ⁇ chtung 6
- the gripping device 6 pulls the hose material 1 according to an adjustable length from the material roll 2 and at the same time in the pulling-over direction B (cf. FIG. 2) over the insertion mandrel 1 1.
- the cutting and closing device 7 is then pivoted in.
- the tube material 1 is gathered together by the cutting and closing device 7 and with a clip
- the hose material 1 above the closure point 9, based on the overcoating direction B, is cut off by the cutting and closing device 7, so that a hose section 10 closed on one side is produced.
- the gripping device 6 then pulls the hose section 10, which is closed on one side, in the pull-over direction B so far over the insertion mandrel 11 until the closure point
- An insert device pushes, for example, a recessed tap 1 2 onto the insertion mandrel 1 1 against an adjustable stop 1 1 3 sitting on the insertion mandrel 1 1, so that part of the hose section 10 is located in the recess of the tap 1 2
- the gripping device 6 has carried out an adjustable stroke in a direction counter to the pulling direction B up to approximately the height of the closure point 9, the front end gripped by the gripping device 6 in the feeding direction A or in the pulling direction B. of the hose section 10 is placed over the cock 1 2.
- the material of the hose section 10 not only lies against the inner wall of the recess of the cock 1 2, not shown, but the hose section 10 also encloses the exterior of the cock 1 2.
- the gripping device 6 has released the clamping of the hose section 10.
- the suction device 1 6 is pivoted into the free space in the pulling direction B in front of the insertion mandrel 1 1 and introduced into the opening of the end of the hose section 1 0 placed over the chicken 1 2. It sucks the air out of the inside of the bag thus formed.
- the protruding parts 1 4, 1 5 of the hose section 10 are combined with the swiveling cutting and closing device 7 and closed vacuum-sealed with a clip 8. The part of the hose section 10 protruding beyond the clip 8 is cut off.
- the gripping device 6 can begin with the next packaging process.
