Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for slicing a bar of product into product slices using a slicing device.
  • EP 1 854 596 A1 discloses a method of slicing into the pack.
  • the present invention relates to a method for slicing a bar of product into product slices.
  • This product stick is in particular a food stick, for example a stick of sausage, cheese or ham.
  • a product bar within the meaning of the invention can also be natural ham.
  • This stick of product is cut into product slices with a slicing device.
  • the product bar is transported continuously or intermittently in the direction of a moving, preferably rotating knife, which separates the product slices from the front end of the product bar.
  • the thickness of the slices is determined by the feed path that the product log travels between two cuts.
  • the cut-off product slices are placed directly on a web of lower film or in a packaging tray that is part of a package, or in a packaging tray that is also part of a package. After being cut off, the food slices preferably fall directly onto the lower web of film or into a packaging trough.
  • This subject matter of the present invention has the advantage that conveyor belts, which are normally present after the slicing device and with which the product slices are transported from the slicing device to the packaging machine and are placed there in packaging troughs, can be at least largely dispensed with. This shortens the distance over which the product slices can become contaminated with dirt particles or germs.
  • the system can be designed to save space, which also allows the system to be operated in smaller production facilities.
  • This portion is preferably configured directly on the lower film web or directly in the packaging tray.
  • the present invention does not relate to a method for slicing a product bar into product slices using a slicing device, in which the cut product slices are placed on a storage table and from there placed on a lower web of film and/or in a packaging trough.
  • the food slices are not transported by conveyor belts from the slicing device to the packaging machine.
  • a depositing table is provided below the cutting knife, on which the product slices cut off are initially deposited and from there they are placed on the lower web of film and/or in a packaging trough or preferably ejected.
  • This embodiment is also characterized by improved hygiene.
  • the method according to the invention is significantly more space-saving than methods according to the prior art.
  • the storage table preferably has at least one, preferably several transport means, for example endless belts, which move relative to the storage table. Furthermore, the storage table is preferably provided to be movable in at least one spatial direction in a plane, for example a horizontal plane, and/or to be rotatable about one or more axes, in particular a vertical and a horizontal axis. The storage table is preferably located above the lower web of film or the packaging trough.
  • the packaging machine preferably works in cycles, with a plurality of packaging trays being produced, in particular by thermoforming the lower web of film, filled with product slices and closed with a lid film or only filled and closed with a lid film in one cycle.
  • a so-called format of packaging is produced in one cycle, which preferably consists of several tracks that are parallel to the running direction of the lower film web, and particularly preferably several columns that are aligned perpendicular to the transport direction of the lower film web.
  • a format can also have only one track with one or more packages.
  • the portions of at least one column are collected on the depositing table and then placed directly onto a lower web of film or into a packaging trough, in particular dropped. Then the lower film web of the packaging machine is indexed by one column, which is filled as soon as a sufficient number of portions have been cut open on the delivery table.
  • this storage table is also used to sort out bad portions where the quality of the slices that have been cut does not correspond to the desired quality and/or which do not have a sufficient number of product slices.
  • the storage table can also preferably be used to sort out cut slices that occur when a block of food is cut for the first time and/or end pieces of the block of food that can no longer be cut open in a controlled manner.
  • One or more of these sortings can take place, for example, by the delivery table moving transversely to the transport direction of the lower film web/packaging tray or, for example, moving against the transport direction of the lower film web/packaging tray.
  • the bad portions, cut slices and/or the remnants are preferably conveyed into a container and sent for another use. Incomplete portions can be used in particular to complete portions.
  • an incomplete portion, a bad portion, at least one cut slice and/or an end piece is caught with a catching means before it is deposited, in particular falls, on the lower film web or in the packaging trough.
  • the incomplete portion, the bad portion, at least one cut slice and/or the end piece fall onto the lower web of film and/or into the packaging cavity and are removed from there again using a removal means.
  • a robot can be used for this, which has a collecting surface that is optionally arranged in the discharge area downstream of the cutting knife in order to collect the incomplete portion, the bad portion, at least one cut slice and/or an end piece.
  • this robot can also have a gripper that removes the incomplete portion, the bad portion, at least one cut slice and/or an end piece from the lower web of film or from the packaging trough.
  • a message is sent to the downstream packaging machine to mark a portion/packaging as rejects that has a bad portion, an incomplete portion, cut slices and/or an end piece. This portion/packaging is then ejected or changed in such a way that it is a good pack.
  • the packaging is preferably ejected after the packaging has been closed with a cover film.
  • a further object of the present invention is a method in which several product slices are placed on a lower web of film and/or in a packaging tray as a portion and/or several portions are deposited on a lower web of film and/or in a packaging tray.
  • the product slices are placed on the lower web of film and/or in a packaging tray as a portion.
  • the product slices are shingled.
  • the lower web of film and/or the packaging trough is moved relative to the stationary slicing device.
  • the distance between the slicing device and the film web and/or the packaging trough is preferably changed during the creation of a portion.
  • a further inventive or preferred subject matter of the present invention several portions are arranged on a lower film web and/or in a packaging tray, i.e. in a package. These are shingled.
  • the cutting blade of the slitting device performs blank cuts during the onward transport of the lower web of film or the packaging trough.
  • the cutting blade In order to transport the packaging further, it may be necessary for the cutting blade to carry out so-called blank cuts, during which the cutting blade moves, for example its rotary and/or orbital movement, without food slices being severed from the product bar.
  • blank cuts can be achieved by that the bar of product is withdrawn from the cutting knife and/or that the cutting knife is moved away from the front end of the block of food.
  • no slices are cut off during the further transport of the lower film web or the packaging tray, which would then have to be temporarily stored.
  • the front end of the block of food and the cutting knife are moved away from each other during the blank cut, there are also no so-called snippets, ie incompletely severed food slices, which would then fall onto the lower web of film or into the packaging trough.
  • the further transport of the web of lower film or of the packaging takes place so quickly that the block of food cannot be deformed in such a way that it gets into the cutting knife, despite the distance between the front end and the cutting knife.
  • a lower web of film and/or a packaging trough and the slicing device are moved relative to one another during the slicing.
  • This preferred embodiment of the present invention is particularly advantageous for the production of portions on the lower web of film or in the packaging tray.
  • the relative movement can take place in a horizontal and/or in a vertical plane.
  • a further object of the present invention is a method in which a lower web of film and/or a packaging tray is inclined for filling with at least one slice of food.
  • the packaging tray is inclined for filling with at least one slice of food, but preferably with one portion.

  • the process is already weighed during the insertion of the individual slices and, shortly before the TARGET weight is reached, the TARGET weight is reached particularly accurately via forecast calculations, i.e. overweight packaging in particular is avoided with a particularly high probability.
  • Another object of the present invention is a method in which the slicing device has a feed for the product bar and a moving, in particular rotating, cutting knife that cuts product slices from the product bar, in which the movement of the feed and / or the cutting knife is dependent the feed of the lower film web and/or the packaging trough is controlled.
  • the slicing device has a feed, with which the bar of product is moved in the direction of the cutting knife. Furthermore, the slicing device has a moving, preferably rotating, cutting blade that cuts product slices from the front end of the product block. For portioning or further transport of the packaging, it may be necessary for the cutting blade to carry out so-called blank cuts, during which the cutting blade moves without food slices being severed from the product bar. These blank cuts can be achieved by withdrawing the bar of product from the cutting blade and/or by moving the cutting blade away from the front end of the block of food.
  • the packaging machine has the so-called “lead” in terms of control technology, ie the movements of the slicing device follow signals that are generated by the packaging machine.

  • the packaging machine 27 is shown only schematically and in the present case has a forming station upstream (not shown) in which the packaging troughs 13 are formed into the lower web of film, in particular under the influence of pressure and heat.
  • These packaging troughs are then transported in the direction of arrow 20 in the area of a slicing device 26, which is part of the packaging machine.
  • This slicing device has a feed unit 11, for example an endless belt, and a moving, here rotating, cutting knife 12.
  • a product bar 10 is transported by the feed unit 11 in the direction of the cutting blade, which cuts food slices 25 from the front end of the product bar, which fall directly into the packaging trough 13 along a fall curve, which is symbolized by the arrow 16 .
  • the thickness of the food slice is determined by the feed of the product bar 10 between two cuts.
  • the portion, which consists of several product slices 25, is shingled, ie the slices only partially overlap.
  • either the lower film web 14 or the packaging trough can be transported by a certain amount in or against the transport direction 20 of the lower film web 14 between the dropping of two food slices.
  • the slicing device 26 can be displaced, at least partially, relative to the lower film web 14 and/or the packaging tray 13 in order to produce a shingled portion.
  • the position of the slicing device 26 relative to the transport plane of the lower film web 14 and/or the packaging trough 13 can preferably be changed. This can be achieved by changing the position of the cutting device and/or by changing the position of the transport plane of the lower films and/or the packaging trough. For example, the height of fall h can be changed in this way.
  • the feed angle 17 of the product sticks can be changed. Both measures, alone or in combination, lead to a change in the trajectory of the food slices.
  • the cutting blade 12 performs blank cuts, ie it continues to rotate, preferably at an unchanged speed, without food slices 25 being cut off from the product bar.
  • the blank cuts are preferably carried out until there is an empty packaging in the discharge area of the slicing device.
  • FIG figure 2 essentially shows the embodiment according to FIG figure 1 , wherein in the present case a particle catcher 18 is additionally present, with which it is prevented that particles, which are torn off the product bar during the cutting, get into the packaging.
  • the particle catcher is an endless belt with an upper belt 18a and a lower belt 18b, with the upper belt 18a being guided above the packaging trough 13 or the lower film web 14 and the lower belt 18b being guided below the lower film web 14 or packaging trough 13.
  • the endless belt is movable transversely to the transport direction 20, preferably provided to revolve around two rollers (not shown).
  • particles that are deposited on the particle catcher can be transported away from the discharge area of the slicing device and, for example, be removed from the particle catcher with a cleaning agent, for example a scraper. This enables continuous or intermittent removal of torn-off particles.
  • FIG 3 shows an embodiment of the packaging machine or the slicing device which is not according to the invention and essentially corresponds to the embodiment of the packaging machine figure 1 corresponds, but which has a storage table 19 in the present case.
  • the product slices 25 cut off fall onto the storage table 19 and are configured on it, preferably into portions 15 .
  • a plurality of portions are preferably arranged on the delivery table simultaneously or one after the other.
  • a plurality of portions 15 are preferably formed or collected on the depositing table 19 before they are deposited on the lower film web 14 or placed in a packaging tray 13 .
  • the delivery table preferably has at least one conveyor belt, here an endless belt, which in the present case rotates counterclockwise as soon as one or more portions have been completed.
  • the movement of this conveyor belt can also be used to configure a portion, for example for shingling.
  • the respective portion falls or slides from the storage table 19 into the packaging 13.
  • the storage table is preferably provided as a whole or in part so that it can be moved in one plane, for example a horizontal plane, in two spatial directions. This can be done by moving the delivery table as a whole and/or only parts of it, for example the endless belt.
  • the support table is preferably provided with a height adjustment, ie its distance from the cutting blade 12 can be changed.
  • the storage table 19 can be pivoted and/or rotated about at least one horizontal and/or vertical axis.
  • the storage table can have one or more conveyor belts, which can preferably be operated separately from one another.
  • FIG 4 shows a top view of the packaging machine or the slicing device. It can be seen that the advancement 21 by which the lower film web 14 and/or the packaging troughs 13 are transported further in one cycle consists of two columns 29 each with four tracks 28 in the present case.
  • the depositing table 19 is designed so wide (horizontal extension transverse to the direction of transport) that two finished portions can be placed simultaneously in the packaging cavities in two lanes.
  • the delivery table 19 is designed so long (horizontal extension parallel to the direction of transport) that at least the portions for a print for two lanes can be completely accommodated by it. In the present case, even the portions for the entire print (two columns and four lanes) can be picked up from the delivery table at the same time.
  • the storage table 19 has two conveyor belts 23, here two endless conveyor belts, which can be driven jointly or independently of one another.
  • the depositing table 19 is shifted in the direction 22 of the lower tracks after the portions have been deposited in the upper tracks.
  • figure 5 shows a slicing device in which two product sticks 10 are cut open at the same time.
  • the packaging machine or the slicing device has a delivery table which, as symbolized by the double arrow, is moved transversely to the transport direction 20 in order to be able to supply all lanes 28 with portions 15, although the number of product sticks 10 sliced at the same time is smaller than the number of tracks to be loaded simultaneously.
  • FIG 6 shows a further embodiment of the slicing device or the packaging machine that is not according to the invention.
  • the depositing table is also at the same time an ejection element, with which insufficient portions or cuts 24 are ejected.
  • this takes place in that the conveyor belts of the delivery table are moved clockwise and insufficient portions 24 are transferred to another conveyor belt, with which they are removed from the device.
  • the packaging tray is inclined relative to the transport direction 20 for its filling in order to facilitate the filling.
  • the transport level of the lower film web and/or the packaging troughs is raised.
