Definitions

  • the invention relates to a metering method and a metering device, in particular for dosing snus or the like, wherein a portion of tobacco is filled into a metering chamber of a metering device and wherein the portion of tobacco is blown out by means of blown air from the metering chamber.
  • a metering method and a metering device in particular for dosing snus or the like, wherein a portion of tobacco is filled into a metering chamber of a metering device and wherein the portion of tobacco is blown out by means of blown air from the metering chamber.
  • Such methods and devices are, for example WO 2010/051826 A1 known.
  • metering methods or metering devices are sufficiently well known for their implementation from the prior art and are regularly used for metering or portioning tobacco. So volumetric dosages with fixed or adjustable volumes for dosing or portioning of smaller amounts of tobacco for oral tobacco such as snus are common.
  • metering chambers are formed in a rotatable metering plate, in each of which a quantity of tobacco for portioning thereof is filled. The rotatable metering plate can be moved via a sanding plate closing the metering chambers so that when a metering chamber overlaps with an opening in the sanding pad, a portion of tobacco falls out of the metering chamber downwards.
  • the metering chamber can also be emptied by means of a puff of air upwards.
  • This method is used when a volume of the metering chamber is to be adjustable. For this purpose, a plunger or piston is moved into the metering chamber from an underside of the metering plate in order to set the desired volume of the metering chamber. A blowing out of the relevant portion of tobacco can then take place via a pressure line opening into the metering chamber.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to propose a metering method and a metering device for metering oral tobacco, with the or a precise metering of a portion of tobacco without permanent buildup or blockage is made possible.
  • a portion of tobacco is filled into a metering chamber of a metering device, wherein the portion of tobacco is blown out by means of exhaust air from the metering chamber, and the exhaust air is added steam.
  • the exhaust air is directed as an air blast from an upper side or lower side of the metering chamber to the tobacco portion located in the metering chamber, so that the portion of tobacco is blown out of the metering chamber and conveyed into a conveying channel for further transport of the portion of tobacco.
  • the blown air is discharged by means of a valve connected to a compressed air source as a puff of air, which is subsequently added to the valve of the blow-out air, the water vapor.
  • the steam provided with blow-out air allows a substantially complete blowing out of the portion located in the dosing chamber tobacco or cleaning the dosing without tobacco residues adhere to an inner wall of the dosing or remain.
  • the method according to the invention thus ensures a complete discharge of the portion of tobacco from the dosing chamber and thus a precise dosing or dispensing of a desired portion size.
  • Superheated steam can have a temperature of over 300 ° C and is thus suitable among other things for killing germs.
  • a use of superheated steam can therefore serve to degerminate the corresponding metering device or the tobacco processed therewith during operation. Also, by means of the superheated steam, a complete discharge of the tobacco from the metering chamber can be further promoted.
  • the metering chamber can be subjected to a vacuum during filling.
  • a vacuum during filling.
  • the blow-out air and / or the steam can be blown into the empty dosing chamber.
  • steam may be added to the portion of tobacco.
  • the steam can be introduced into a conveying channel provided for the portion of tobacco.
  • the steam promotes a further transport of the tobacco without unwanted adhesion of tobacco occur in the delivery channel. If superheated steam is used as steam, it is also possible to degerminate the feed channel during operation.
  • the discharge air can be filtered germ-free.
  • one or more filters for germ-free or low-germ filtration of the blow-out air can be provided between the compressed air source and the valve provided for delivering the blow-out air.
  • the dosing device according to the invention in particular for dosing snus or the like, is formed from a dosing plate, in which at least one passage opening is arranged, which forms a dosing chamber, a closure device which serves for closing an opening side of the passage opening, and a filling device, which serves for filling the metering chamber with a portion of tobacco, and a blow-out device which serves for blowing out the portion of tobacco from the metering chamber by means of blow-out air, wherein by means of the blow-out device of the blow-out air steam is added.
  • the dosing plate can have an air-permeable wall.
  • the wall may consist of a porous material or have a plurality of small holes through which air can escape from the metering chamber.
  • the porous material may be a sintered material.
  • an annular channel can also be provided in the metering plate in the region of the metering chamber, which serves to discharge the air extracted by the relevant wall.
  • the closure device can also have an air-permeable wall.
  • the closure device can be designed, for example, as a plate or a sanding pad, a stamp, a flap or a slider in the region of an underside of the metering plate.
  • About the air-permeable wall which may also be formed again from a porous material or as a wall with small holes, air can be sucked to form a vacuum in the metering chamber. If a blow-out of the portion of tobacco on the closure device, so an emptying of the metering chamber should be done upwards, blow-out air can be blown into the metering chamber also on the air-permeable wall of the closure device.
  • blow-out is particularly advantageous when a size of the metering chamber is designed to be adjustable. Thus, regardless of a set volume of the dosing always blow out done without a costly conversion of the metering would have to be done.
  • the size of the metering chamber can be adjusted particularly easily if the closure device has a punch which is arranged movably within the passage opening relative thereto.
  • the punch or piston can be adapted to a diameter of the passage opening so that it closes it completely and an up or down movement of the punch relative to the metering plate causes a change in volume of the metering chamber.
  • the blow-out device can have a temperature-insulated blow-out air feed.
  • a temperature insulation may be useful, inter alia, if the blow-off air reaches the metering chamber via a plunger of the closure device.
  • the purge air supply can be embodied, for example, as a temperature-insulated pipeline which leads into a region of an air-permeable inner wall of the closure device.
  • the metering chamber may at least partially have a conical inner wall.
  • a cone widening in the conveying direction of the portion of tobacco can ensure that the portion of tobacco from the dosing chamber easily dissolves and is not jammed between opposite wall regions of the dosing chamber.
  • a conical shape of the inner wall can be formed along an entire length of the metering chamber or only in sections.
  • at least one inner wall or all the inner walls of the metering chambers is or are made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
  • the PTFE can be applied in the manner of a non-stick coating on the inner wall.
  • the material PTFE or a material mixture based on PTFE can effectively prevent tobacco from sticking in the metering chamber.
  • the inner wall may be formed from a bush, which consists for example of a plastic material.
  • the PTFE may be formed in the form of an annular, sintered bush, which is inserted into the metering chamber forming through hole.
  • the annular bush can also form an air-permeable wall.
  • the socket may have a collar which projects beyond the metering plate and forms a contact surface for resting on the turntable. As a result, a friction between the metering plate and the turntable can be reduced. If the collar worn, the socket can be easily replaced.
  • the inner wall of the conveying channel may consist of a non-stick coating formed of PTFE.
  • the metering chamber can also be formed by a plurality of through holes. Ie. the metering chamber then consists of several through holes, which together form the metering chamber. A complete blowout of tobacco can thereby be further promoted. This results in particular by a more favorable distribution of air pressure over such a trained cross-section of the metering chamber.
  • a series of passage openings can be formed in the metering plate, which each form a metering chamber.
  • the passage openings may be arranged in a row for the simultaneous execution of a working step and / or in a row for carrying out a sequence of work steps.
  • the metering plate may be formed as a so-called turntable with a plurality of located on different diameters through holes.
