Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for portioning food, in particular meat.
  • Such devices are used to cut food into portions, for example in the form of slices, the same weight and / or thickness.
  • the foods include, for example, fresh meat, sausage, ham, cheese, vegetables or baked goods.
  • Known devices for slicing sausage or cheese are also referred to as slicers. Sausage or cheese differs from freshly grown meat because of its consistency in that the corresponding loaves have a solid shape with a volume determined by the production.
  • the slicers are therefore equipped with a device for holding the loaves during slicing of the slices.
  • pieces of fresh grown meat do not have a solid shape or volume, unless frozen or frozen. For portioning such pieces of meat it is therefore not enough to keep the pieces of meat as in known slicers.
  • Portioning devices therefore have a pressing chamber in which the piece of meat is first compressed. After completion of the pressing process, the volume which fills the piece of meat is known. This is used during the subsequent portioning.
  • Portioning devices for freshly grown meat are used, for example, in commercial kitchens, in the production of compiled and pre-packaged menus and machine packaging of sliced foods. From a piece of fresh, aged meat or another piece of food individual portions, especially quick pieces of meat, such as schnitzel, steaks or medallions are separated. It is important that the individual portions have a predetermined weight and optionally a predetermined thickness. The slices must be portioned as precisely as possible so that they coincide in their cooking time, the individual portions are not too different and the weight can be stated on a preprinted pack.
  • a device for portioning food with an inserting drum having a plurality of pressing chambers and a portioning drum having a plurality of portioning chambers is known.
  • the piece of food is compressed in a pressing chamber by means of a side cover and a press ram and pressed into a portioning chamber.
  • the portion located in the portioning chamber is separated from the piece of meat by means of a knife movable between the pressing chamber and the portioning chamber, and the portion is removed from the portioning chamber.
  • the portioning drum is rotated.
  • another portioning chamber of the portioning drum comes in extension of the pressing chamber.
  • the other Portionierhunt can be filled again with the food. This process is repeated until the entire food is divided into portions.
  • another piece of food can be placed in a second pressing chamber of the inserting drum. If the first piece of food is completely divided into portions, the loading drum is rotated. The portioning can then be continued with the second piece of food. In the now empty pressing chamber can be inserted again a piece of food.
  • the slices in the known device after portioning can not be further processed automatically, for example, broken into cubes or strips or provided with a necessary for Cordonbleu Schnitzel section.
  • a device for portioning a material to be cut which has a feed module with a two-part molded tube. This allows the adaptation of the cross section of the forming tube to a material to be cut.
  • the portioning is carried out by means of a portioning module with several Portionierhuntn.
  • the separated portions are ejected from a portioning chamber and stored on a transport device.
  • the device according to the invention with the features of claim 1 is characterized in that at least two transport devices are arranged below the Portionierplatte, and that the Portionierplatte has at least three end positions: a first end position in which a portion is cut from a larger piece, a second End position in which the portion is stored on or on the first transport device and a third end position in which the portion is deposited on or on the second transport device. It can also be provided further transport means and a corresponding number of other end positions of the portioning.
  • the transport devices may, for example, be transport belts for depositing the portions or conveyors for packaging, for example trays or containers. On a conveyor belt, the individual portions can be stored after ejection from the Portionierhunt in groups, shingles or individually spaced from each other.
  • a conveyor for packaging the separated portions are placed after cutting directly from the portioning plate in the package.
  • the relative position of the individual portions to each other can be influenced by the speed of the conveyor. Remnants or other pieces that do not meet the weight specifications can be stored on the second conveyor. They do not affect the portions on the first conveyor and their association with particular packages. A rejection by hand is eliminated.
  • portions of different weight can be stored on the two transport devices.
  • a piece can be divided by the portioning into portions of a first and a second predetermined weight.
  • the portions with the first weight are stored on the first transport device and the portions of the second weight on the second transport device.
  • a third transport device and a fourth end position of the portioning plate provided to deposit remnants.
  • a round portioning plate with, for example, four portioning chambers for example, three positions for depositing a separated portion are possible in addition to the position of the actual portioning process.
  • Each of these positions can be assigned to a separate transport device. In this way, portions can be stored on different transport devices depending on their weight or quality.
  • the portioning plate is arranged rotatably about an axis. It also has an even number of Portionierhuntn, which are all arranged at the same radial distance from the axis and at the same angular distance from one another in the portioning.
  • the rotatable arrangement of the portioning plate has the advantage that the portioning plate can be moved faster than in a displaceable arrangement. This leads to shorter cycle times. If all Portionierhuntn in the Portionierplatte the same radial distance from the axis and the number of Portionierhuntn even, so the portioning and cutting and depositing of separated portions of different transport devices can be done simultaneously. This increases the cycle time of the device.
  • the pressing unit and the portioning plate are rotatable about two parallel, spatially separated axes.
  • the rotatable arrangement ensures that the movement of the pressing unit and the portioning plate can proceed faster than with a displaceable arrangement.
  • Two spatially separated axis cause that the pressing unit and the portioning plate are in their movements do not interfere with each other and that the ejection or removal of the separated portions from the Portionierhuntn the Portionierplatte takes place in spatial distance from the pressing unit and thus sufficient space for the transport separated portions is available.
  • Parallel axes are advantageous because the cut is usually perpendicular to the direction of advance of the piece in the press chamber and the press chambers are arranged with their longitudinal axis parallel to the axis of the press unit.
  • the chamber bottom to adjust the depth of the portioning chamber is arranged displaceably. In this way, portions of different thickness can be produced.
  • a collecting container for collecting a plurality of portions is arranged on the portioning plate on the side facing away from the pressing unit.
  • the cross-section of the collecting container coincides with the cross section of the Portionierhuntn.
  • the chamber bottom of the portioning chamber is displaceable in the collecting container. This allows the cutting of several portions and collection of the portions before they are ejected from the portioning chamber.
  • the sump is movable together with the portioning plate, so that both parts can be transferred together to an ejection position, while the Portioniervorgang is continued with another Portionierhunt the Portionierplatte.
  • an ejection element is arranged on the portioning plate, which ejects one or more separated portions of the portioning chamber. It is about in this case, for example, a punch, which moves from one side into the portioning chamber and displaces the portions from the portioning chamber. This speeds up the process of ejecting one or more portions from the portioning chamber.
  • a form is arranged on the side facing away from the ejection element of the portioning, the cross-section of which matches the cross section of the Portionierhuntn.
  • the ejection element ensures that the separated portion is transferred in the form predetermined by the Portionierhunt to an additional form.
  • the further processing or processing of the portion can be done.
  • the mold may be equipped with a plurality of blades for cutting cubes or strips. The portion is thus divided during ejection from the portioning chamber into further small sections. This is done in a single operation without the need for additional stations. Furthermore, during the further processing and processing of the portion, the portioning process can be continued.
  • the chamber bottom of the portioning chamber is equipped with channels for sucking and / or expelling air or other gases.
  • the device has pins whose cross-section coincides with the cross-section of the channels or is slightly smaller.
  • a pin drive is provided which retracts the pins in a certain position of the portioning plate in the channels and thereby freed the channels of impurities. Such cleaning may be performed automatically after a predetermined number of servings or as needed.
  • the pressing unit is vertically aligned.
  • the pressing chambers extend in their longitudinal direction in the vertical direction.
  • the press ram is arranged on the underside of the press unit.
  • the cutting element is located at the top the press unit.
  • the portioning plate is arranged above the cutting element.
  • This arrangement is characterized in that the press chambers can be conveniently filled from the top with a piece of food.
  • the opening of the pressing chamber, accessible from above, is at a comfortable height for the user.
  • the feed through the ram takes place from bottom to top.
  • the portions separated from the piece are transferred on the knife together with the Portionierhunt in an ejection position.
  • the portioning chamber is released downwards.
  • a top-mounted ejection element the separated portion is pressed down and falls onto a conveyor or transport device or a container in which the separated portions are collected.
  • the device according to the invention with the features of claim 4 has the advantage that it is equipped with a servo drive for the ram and / or for the chamber bottom. Press punches and / or chamber floor can thus approach different predefinable positions and maintain them.
  • the positions of ram and / or chamber bottom may also depend on the force with which a piece is compressed. This is of great advantage, in particular for the pressing chamber.
  • the press ram can be pushed forward in the press chamber until the piece presses against the press ram with a certain predetermined force.
  • the start-up and maintenance of a predetermined position or displacement of the press ram until reaching a predetermined counterforce is performed by a control.
  • the device is equipped with suitable sensors which measure a distance covered, a distance between two measuring points, an absolute position with respect to a zero point or a force.
  • suitable sensors which measure a distance covered, a distance between two measuring points, an absolute position with respect to a zero point or a force.
  • motors electric motors, pneumatic or hydraulic drives can be used.
  • Particularly suitable are electric motors.
  • fast drives advantageous that move the ram or chamber bottom in the shortest possible time to a desired position.
  • the pressing die and / or the chamber bottom are equipped with a force sensor.
  • the force is measured, with which the piece presses against the ram to vice versa. The same applies to the chamber floor.
  • This measured force is input to the servo drive control.
  • the press die and / or the chamber bottom are equipped with a displacement or position sensor. While the displacement sensor measures a distance traveled by the ram or chamber bottom, the position sensor determines the absolute position of the ram or chamber bottom relative to a predetermined zero point. The value measured by the sensor is input to the servo drive control.
  • a piece of food is placed in an elongated pressing chamber of a Portioniervoriques and set the cross-section of the pressing chamber depending on the piece of food.
  • the adjustment can be made automatically in dependence on the resistance which counteracts the closure element when reducing the cross section of the pressing chamber. If the cross section of the pressing chamber is set, then the cross section of the pressing punch and the cross section of the portioning chamber are automatically adapted to this cross section. In this way, an optimized positioning is possible, which is adapted to the individual piece of food.
  • the cross section of a portioning chamber is adapted to the cross section of the pressing chamber.
  • the force exerted by the food when reducing the pressing chamber to the pressing chamber is determined.
  • this adjustment takes place before the beginning of the portioning process.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 a device for portioning meat is shown in two different perspective views.

In this setting, the piece of meat located in this pressing chamber 3a is divided into portions. The second pressing chamber 3b is not covered by the portioning plate 2 and therefore freely accessible from above. In it a piece of meat can be introduced from above. In order to facilitate insertion, the closure element 5b is pulled out of the compression chamber housing 4b to such an extent that the cross section of the compression chamber 3b has its greatest possible initial setting.
  • the closing element 5b is pushed into the pressing chamber housing 4b with the aid of a closing element drive 7 in order to reduce the cross section of the pressing chamber 3b.
