Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing portions of food. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a device for slicing food and a method for separating food slices of food bars.
  • such portions are produced by cutting slices from a knife onto a strip, laid flat there, and then compressed in an uncontrolled manner to form a portion.
  • This procedure is referred to as " shaving" and has the disadvantage that the shape of the portion and the individual slices to each other is not controllable.
  • a particular problem with the prior art is that the thus-compressed disks more or less overlap and then stick together in the package, so that the end user is unable to easily remove a single disk from the disk assembly.
  • inventive method would make it possible to provide compressed portions in which the food slices do not stick to one another.
  • the appearance of the prepared portions is very appealing.
  • inventive method is simple and inexpensive to perform. There is a controlled shaven.
  • a food portion according to the invention consists of slices of any food. Preferably, however, it is sausage, ham, cheese or the like.
  • the cut food wafers are first of all shaped once, before they are deposited on a means, for example a portioning and / or conveyor belt.
  • a deformation in the context of the invention is any change in the substantially planar shape that the food disc occupies after cutting the food disc, so that the food disc does not lie flat on the means on which it is deposited after cutting.
  • the deformation is a corrugation and / or folding of the food disc, wherein in the folding of the degree of overlap is arbitrary.
  • the deformation of the food disc for example, a corrugation or folding of the food disc can be done for example by an air jet or a folding device, which / preferably between the knife, which separates the food slices from the food bar and the means on which the shaped disc is placed is.
  • the means for forming the food slices is one or more driven or non-driven roller (s), which are preferably arranged on a shaft.
  • the means for forming the food disc is a device as shown in the EP 0 776 740 which is hereby incorporated by reference and thus forms part of the disclosure. The expert understands that the deformation of the food disc by a Interaction example of the means for deforming and the means on which the food disc is stored can be.
  • the distance between the food slices after they have been stored for example, on a portioning and / or conveyor belt, with which they are preferably also transported, reduced.
  • This reduction of the distance is preferably achieved by a compression of the food slices, which is preferably achieved by reducing the speed of the front of two successive food slices, so that the rear slab is pressed by its higher speed on the front writing.
  • Another object of the present invention is a device for producing food portions, which has a means for forming food slices and a means for changing the distance between the food slices.
  • the device according to the invention is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and operate.
  • the device has a means for forming the food slices.
  • the device according to the invention has a means for changing the distance between two shaped food slices. Also with regard to this agent, reference is made to the above-mentioned disclosure.
  • the device according to the invention on a first and a second conveyor belt, which form a transport plane.
  • the first conveyor belt supports the shaping of the food disc, which is then stored shaped on the first conveyor belt and transferred to the second conveyor belt.
  • the second conveyor belt has at least the reduction of the distance between the food slices; ie to the shaven, a lower transport speed than the first conveyor belt. By changing the relative speed, the shaped foods are pressed together and thereby compressed. Their distance from each other decreases.
  • the first band is disposed over the second band so that the shaped food discs fall from the first band to the second band.
  • the first conveyor belt optionally contributes to the shaping, for example, folding of the food slices.
  • the transport speeds of the two belts becomes upsetting; i.e. to reduce the distance between two food slices selected so that the transport speed of the second conveyor belt is smaller than the sum of the transport speed of the first conveyor belt plus the falling speed of the food product from the first conveyor to the second conveyor belt.
  • the compression of the shaped food wafers is achieved by a transport mechanism, for example a barrier rake.
  • Another object of the present invention is a device for slicing food, having a means for changing the shape of a food slice in which at least one parameter is adjustable, the adjustment of the / the parameter (s) during operation of the device, preferably during slicing.
  • the means for changing the shape of a food slice can be any means known to those skilled in the art, which is usually arranged in the trajectory of the food disc between the knife and a portioning or conveyor belt and with the substantially planar shape of food slices after separation is changeable from the food bar.
  • the food discs are corrugated or folded.
  • this means of driven or non-driven rollers, in particular trapezoidal or driven or non-driven belts, as for example in the EP 0 776 740 B1 be revealed. Otherwise, reference is made to the above disclosure with respect to the means for shaping.
  • a parameter within the meaning of the invention is, for example, the position of the means and - if the means has a drive of the rollers or the belts - their speed.
  • the change in the position of the means relative to the cutting plane and / or relative to the falling disc takes place.
  • the device has a band, for example a conveyor belt or a portioning belt.
  • the shaped food slices can be configured to a portion and / or transported with the tape.
  • the tape may assist the means for shaping in the shaping of the food slices.
  • the tape can be raised and lowered to produce, for example, food stacks.
  • the position of the means for deforming the food slices relative to this band remains unchanged, ie there is an at least temporarily rigid connection between the means and the band. The Changing the position of the means for deforming the discs can then be done together with the portioning and / or conveyor belt.
  • the device according to the invention preferably further comprises a detection means with which at least one property of the food bar to be sliced and / or the cut food disc can be determined.
  • the adjustment of the parameters of the means for forming the food slices is then preferably carried out as a function of the signal of the detection means.
  • the properties can be any properties of the product. Preferably, however, the properties are the level of the product, the food starch, the type of food and / or its temperature.
  • Another object of the present invention is a method for separating food slices of food bars, wherein the food slice is changed after separation with a means in its shape and at least one adjustable parameter of the agent is changed during the slicing of the food bar.
  • the position of the means is changed relative to the cutting plane and / or relative to the falling disc.
  • At least one property of the food bar to be sliced and / or the cut food slices is determined with a detection means and, depending on this, at least one parameter of the agent is changed.
  • FIG. 1 a food slicing apparatus is shown, in which a food bar 11 is cut into food slices 1 by means of a knife 12.
  • the knife 12 cooperates with the cutting edge 6 and forms the cutting plane 13.
  • the cut food slices 1 fall with one end on the product fold 4 and are thereby formed; ie at least bent.
  • the product folding 4 consists in the present case of three shafts on which rotatable, non-driven prismatic rollers are arranged.
  • the non-driven prismatic rollers have the advantage that the food disc does not dive into the product fold and verharkt.
  • the prism rollers have the advantage that the surface contact between the food disc and the product folding is minimal, so that adhesion of the disc to the product folding is avoided.
  • the kinetic energy of the falling disc is sufficient for it to be controlled in a folded position after contact with the product fold.
  • the product fold is supported in such a way that it is freely displaceable in the plane of the paper and / or the angle ⁇ is changeable , These changes take place during slicing of the food bar and in a preferred embodiment due to properties of the cut food disc 1 and / or the food bar 11 to be sliced, which are detected by a detection means, such as a camera 10.
  • properties may be, for example, the height 17 of the food bar 11, the thickness of the pane 1, the type of food and / or the temperature of the cut slice 1 or the food bar 11.
  • the detection means and / or a further detection means can also be arranged in the region of the food bar - ie on the other side of the knife 12.
  • the change of Position of the product folding 4 allows a uniform folding even with changing product parameters, wherein the degree of overlap of the food slice is freely selectable.
  • the folded, ie shaped food slice 1 is placed on the conveyor belt 2 and transported at a speed V 14 , the direction shown by the arrow 14 and another conveyor belt 7 passed, the folded food slices at the speed V 15 in the by the arrow 15th transported illustrated direction.
  • the conveyor belt 2 can support the product folding 4 when folding the food disc by, for example, an end 1 a of the food disc 1 already rests on the conveyor belt 2 and this end 1a of the food disc with the conveyor belt 2 under the other end 1 b pushed becomes.
  • the distance between the fold 4 and the conveyor belt is preferably not changed.
  • the conveyor belt 2 is followed by a conveyor belt 7, which is required for compression.
  • FIG. 2 shows details of the folding or the two conveyor belts 2, 7.
  • the cut off from the food bar 11 disc 1 is deformed on the product folding 4, so that it is stored as a folded food disc on the conveyor belt 2.
  • the degree of folding depends inter alia on the position of the product fold 4 relative to the falling slice and to the cutting plane.
  • the folded discs 1, which have a comparatively large distance 3 on the conveyor belt 2 are transported at the speed V 14 in the direction of the conveyor belt 7 and transferred to it.
  • the conveyor belt 7 transports the food slices 1 at a speed v 15 which is less than the speed v 14 , so that the food slices are braked after the transfer to the conveyor belt 7 and pressed into each other and their distance from each other is reduced.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of the compression of the molded, ie folded food slices.
  • the shaped food slices are transported with the conveyor belt 2 in the direction of the conveyor belt 7 at the speed VV 14 .
  • the conveyor belt 2 is arranged above the conveyor belt 7 and bent at its front end 8, so that I form a so-called "waterfall” over which the folded food slices fall on the conveyor belt 7.
  • the food slices are, after they have fallen on the conveyor belt 2 on the conveyor belt 7, transported at the speed v 15 on.
  • the speed v 15 is selected so that it is smaller than the speed of the conveyor belt v 14 plus the falling speed of the products in the so-called waterfall, so that the products are decelerated and compressed on the conveyor belt 7, so that their distance 3 reduces each other , This also results in portions that have the advantages mentioned above.
  • FIG. 4 Another way of upsetting is in FIG. 4 shown.
  • the shaped, ie folded, food slices 1 are transported with a conveyor belt 2 in the direction of a transport obstacle, in the present case a Sperrrechens 9 and thereby braked and compressed, so that reduces distance 3 to each other and a portion is formed, the above-mentioned advantages having.
  • the pawl 9 is pivoted in the direction indicated by the double arrow 16 so that the portion can pass and a new portion can be formed after the pawl has been restored to its vertical position.
