Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Aufschneidevorrichtung, die Lebensmittelscheiben von einem Lebensmittelriegel abschneidet und sich dabei um seine Drehachse dreht. Derartige Slicermesser sind aus dem Stand der Technik hinlänglich bekannt und werden an Aufschneidevorrichtungen montiert, die das Slicermesser drehend antreiben, damit es von dem vorderen Ende eines Lebensmittelriegels Lebensmittelscheiben abschneiden kann. Der Lebensmittelriegel wird dabei in Richtung des sich drehenden Messers transportiert. Diese Aufschneidevorrichtungen können heutzutage mehrspurig ausgeführt sein, um Lebensmittelscheiben von mehreren Lebensmittelriegeln gleichzeitig abzuschneiden. Da dabei in der Regel nur ein Slicermesser zum Einsatz kommt, müssen diese Slicermesser immer größer ausgeführt werden, wodurch ihr Gewicht steigt. Dies macht die Handhabung dieser Silcermesser sowohl bei deren Montage als auch während deren Betrieb zunehmend schwierig.The present invention relates to a slicing apparatus that cuts food slices from a food bar and thereby rotates about its axis of rotation. Such slicer knives are well known in the art and are mounted on slicers which rotationally drive the slicer blade so that it can cut food slices from the front end of a food rack. The food bar is transported in the direction of the rotating knife. Today, these slicers may be multi-lane to simultaneously cut food slices from multiple food bars. Since usually only one slicer knife is used, these slicer knives have to be made larger and larger, which increases their weight. This makes the handling of these Silcermesser both during their assembly and during their operation increasingly difficult.

Die Gattungsgebende DE 6940978U offenbart ein Aufschnittschneidmaschinenmesser mit einem Körper aus Kunststoff, welcher mit einem Schneidring aus Metall versehen ist. Es war deshalb die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Slicermesser zur Verfügung zu stellen, das die Nachteile des Standes der Technik nicht aufweist. Gelöst wird die Aufgabe mit einer Aufschneidevorrichtung gemäss Anspruch 1.The generators DE 6940978U discloses a slicing machine knife with a plastic body provided with a metal cutting ring. It was therefore the object of the present invention to provide a slicer blade which does not have the disadvantages of the prior art. The problem is solved with a slicing device according to claim 1.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Aufschneidevorrichtung, die Lebensmittelscheiben von einem Lebensmittelriegel abschneidet. Aufzuschneidende Lebensmittel sind beispielsweise Wurst, Käse oder Schinken. Dafür wird das Slicermesser beispielsweise mit 200 - 2000, vorzugsweise 500 - 1200 Umdrehungen pro Minute drehend antreibt. Mit jeder Umdrehung kann eine Lebensmittelscheibe abgeschnitten werden. Dafür wird der Lebensmittelriegel in Richtung des Slicermessers transportiert, wobei sich die Dicke der Lebensmittelscheibe aus dem Vorschub des Lebensmittelriegels zwischen zwei Schnitten ergibt. Nach dem Abschneiden fallen die Scheiben in der Regel auf einen sogenannten Ablagetisch, auf dem sie zu Portionen von beispielsweise 10 Lebensmittelscheiben konfiguriert werden. Um den Abtransport einer derartigen Portion zu ermöglichen, führt das Schneidmesser nach deren Aufschneiden vorzugsweise einen oder mehrere Leerschnitte durch, bei dem sich das Messer zwar, vorzugsweise mit unveränderter Drehzahl dreht aber keine Lebensmittelscheiben von dem Lebensmittelriegel abtrennt. Dafür wird der Lebensmittelriegel von der Schneidebene zurückgezogen und/oder das Schneidmesser aus der Schneidebene herausbewegt, beispielsweise indem das Schneidmesser parallel zu seiner Drehachse wegbewegt wird. Sobald hinreichend viele Leerschnitte durchgeführt worden sind, wird dann der Lebensmittelriegel wieder in Richtung der Schneidebene vorgerückt und/oder das Schneidmesser in die Schneidebene zurückbewegt. Vorzugsweise weisen Aufschneidevorrichtungen heutzutage mehrere Spuren auf, die jeweils einen Lebensmittelriegel aufnehmen können. Dadurch ist es möglich mit einer Umdrehung des Slicermessers mehrere Lebensmittelscheiben von mehreren Lebensmittelriegeln im Wesentlichen gleichzeitig abzuschneiden.The present invention relates to a slicing apparatus that cuts food slices from a food bar. Sliced foods include sausage, cheese or ham. For this purpose, the slicer knife is driven in rotation, for example, at 200-2000, preferably 500-1200 revolutions per minute. With each revolution, a food slice can be cut off. For this purpose, the food bar is transported in the direction of the slicer blade, whereby the thickness of the food disc results from the advance of the food bar between two cuts. After cutting, the slices usually fall onto a so-called storage table, where they are configured into portions of, for example, 10 food slices become. To allow the removal of such a portion, this leads Cutting knife after cutting preferably one or more idle cuts, in which the knife rotates, but preferably with unchanged speed but no food slices separated from the food bar. For this, the food latch is withdrawn from the cutting plane and / or the cutting blade is moved out of the cutting plane, for example by the cutting blade being moved away parallel to its axis of rotation. As soon as a sufficient number of empty cuts have been carried out, the food bar is then advanced again in the direction of the cutting plane and / or the cutting knife is moved back into the cutting plane. Nowadays, slicing devices preferably have a plurality of tracks, each of which can receive a food bar. This makes it possible to cut several food slices of several food bars substantially simultaneously with one revolution of the slicer knife.

Die Aufschneidevorrichtung weist in der Regel eine sich drehende Welle auf, an der das Slicermesser direkt oder indirekt angebracht ist. Dafür weist das Slicermesser vorzugsweise eine Ausnehmung auf, die die Welle aufnehmen kann und/oder das Slicermesser an der Welle zentrieren kann. Außerdem sind vorzugsweise weitere Ausnehmungen vorgesehen, durch die Befestigungsmittel, beispielsweise Schrauben gesteckt werden können, um das Slicermesser an der Aufschneidevorrichtung zu befestigen.The slicing device usually has a rotating shaft to which the slicer blade is attached directly or indirectly. For this purpose, the slicer knife preferably has a recess which can receive the shaft and / or can center the slicer blade on the shaft. In addition, further recesses are preferably provided by the fastening means, such as screws can be inserted to secure the slicer knife on the slicing.

Erfindungsgemäß weist das Slicermesser einen Grundkörper auf, der aus einem Vollmaterial oder zumindest partiell als Hohlkörper vorgesehen sein kann. Dieser Grundköper ist nun erfindungsgemäß vollständig aus einem Kunststoffmaterial gefertigt.According to the invention, the slicer knife has a main body, which may be provided from a solid material or at least partially as a hollow body. This Grundköper is now completely made according to the invention of a plastic material.

Es war für den Fachmann überaus erstaunlich und nicht zu erwarten, dass es möglich ist ein Slicermesser aus einem Kunststoffmaterial zu fertigen, obwohl durch die Rotation, beim Eintritt in den Lebensmittelriegel und beim Durchschneiden des Lebensmittelriegels und/oder bei der Bewegung des Slicermessers für einen Leerschnitt erhebliche Kräfte und Drehmomente auf das Slicermesser einwirken. Vorzugsweise ist der Grundköper zumindest abschnittsweise mit einer Beschichtung versehen. Dabei kann es sich beispielsweise um eine Metall- und/oder um eine Keramikbeschichtung handeln. Die Beschichtung ist im Bereich der Messerschneide vorgesehen. Die Beschichtung kann auf jede dem Fachmann geläufigen Art und Weise auf den Grundkörper aufgetragen werden. Vorzugsweise wird die Beschichtung durch Abscheidung aus der Gasphase, beispielsweise Sputtern, auf den Grundkörper aufgetragen.It was extremely surprising and unexpected to the skilled person that it would be possible to make a slicer knife from a plastic material, although by the rotation, entering the food bar and cutting the food bar and / or moving the slicer knife for a blank cut considerable forces and torques act on the slicer blade. Preferably, the base body is at least partially provided with a coating. This may be, for example, a metal coating and / or a ceramic coating. The coating is provided in the area of the knife edge. The coating can be applied to the base body in any manner known to those skilled in the art. The coating is preferably applied to the base body by deposition from the gas phase, for example sputtering.

Vorzugsweise ist das Kunststoffmaterial durch eine Struktur verstärkt, insbesondere mit Fasern, besonders bevorzugt Glas-, Kohlenstoff (Carbon)- und/oder Metallfasern verstärkt. Beispielsweise handelt es sich bei dem Kunststoff um einen glasfaserverstärkten Kunststoff. Die Inhaltsstoffe des Kunststoffkörper bzw. der Harzmatrix entsprechen vorzugsweise den gängigen Vorschriften für Food Kontakt, und/oder können vorzugsweise mit einer konformen Beschichtung versehen werden.Preferably, the plastic material is reinforced by a structure, in particular reinforced with fibers, particularly preferably glass, carbon (carbon) and / or metal fibers. For example, the plastic is a glass fiber reinforced plastic. The ingredients of the plastic body or the resin matrix preferably comply with the common regulations for food contact, and / or may preferably be provided with a conformal coating.

Die Fasern können geordnet oder ungeordnet sein. Die Fasern können homogen über den gesamten Grundkörper verteilt sein. Vorzugsweise sind die Fasern jedoch ungleichmäßig in dem Kunststoffmaterial angeordnet, wobei in mechanisch stärker beanspruchten Abschnitten mehr Fasern vorgesehen sind als in mechanisch weniger beanspruchten Abschnitten.The fibers may be ordered or disordered. The fibers can be distributed homogeneously over the entire base body. Preferably, however, the fibers are arranged unevenly in the plastic material, wherein more fibers are provided in mechanically stressed sections more than in mechanically less stressed sections.

Die Fasern können jeweils eine im Wesentlichen gleiche Länge aufweisen oder unterschiedlich lang sein. Die Fasern können gewoben oder ungewoben sein. Alternativ oder zusätzlich können die Fasern durch andere Verfahren, beispielsweise Filzen und/oder Nähwirken miteinander verbunden werden.The fibers may each have a substantially equal length or be of different lengths. The fibers may be woven or unwoven. Alternatively or additionally, the fibers may be joined together by other methods, such as felting and / or stitching.

Das Slicermesser kann ein Kreis-, Spiral- oder Sichelmesser sein.The slicer knife can be a circular, spiral or sickle knife.

Vorzugsweise weist das Kunststoffmaterial und/oder die Beschichtung ein Mittel, insbesondere einen Zusatzstoff, auf, das mittels eines Analyseverfahrens so detektierbar ist, dass eine entsprechende Vorrichtung feststellen kann, ob Partikel, die sich während des Schneidens von dem Slicermesser ablösen in dem Lebensmittelprodukt gelandet sind. Ein derartiges Produkt kann dann ausgeschleust werden. Beispielsweise handelt es sich bei dem Mittel um ein Metallpulver, das besonders bevorzugt als Nanopulver zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Gängige Analyseverfahren sind ein Durchstrahlungsscanner, insbesondere ein Röntgenscanner und/oder ein Metalldetektor.Preferably, the plastic material and / or the coating has a means, in particular an additive, which is detectable by means of an analysis method so that a corresponding device can determine whether particles which detach from the slicer knife during cutting have landed in the food product , Such a product can then be discharged. For example, the agent is a metal powder that is particularly preferably provided as nanopowder. Common analysis methods are a transmission scanner, in particular an X-ray scanner and / or a metal detector.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand der einzigen Figur 1 erläutert. Diese Erläuterungen sind lediglich beispielhaft und schränken den allgemeinen Erfindungsgedanken nicht ein.In the following, the invention is based on the single FIG. 1 explained. These explanations are merely exemplary and do not limit the general inventive concept.

Figur 1 zeigt das erfindungsgemäße Slicermesser 1, das einen Grundköper aufweist, der vollständig, aus einem Kunststoffmaterial gefertigt ist. Das Slicermesser weist eine Drehachse 4 auf, um die sich das Slicermesser beim Aufschneiden dreht. Im Bereich der Drehachse ist eine Ausnehmung 5 vorgesehen, die als Aufnahme für die Messerwelle und/oder einer daran vorgesehenen Messeraufnahme dient. In dem vorliegenden Fall ist der Kunststoff aus dem der Grundkörper gefertigt ist ein glasfaserverstärkter Kunststoff. Der Grundkörper ist teilweise, hier im Bereich der Messerschneide 5 mit einer Beschichtung 3 versehen, die in dem vorliegenden Fall aus Metall oder einer Metalllegierung besteht. Der Grundkörper kann teilweise hohl sein oder aus Vollmaterial gefertigt sein. Die Fasern der Verstärkung können gleichmäßig oder ungleichmäßig verteilt sein. Die Fasern können eine im Wesentlichen identische Länge oder eine unterschiedliche Länge aufweisen. Außerdem können die Fasern, beispielsweise durch Weben oder Filzen, miteinander verbunden sein. FIG. 1 shows the Slicer knife 1 according to the invention, which has a Grundköper which is made entirely of a plastic material. The slicer knife has an axis of rotation 4 about which the slicer knife rotates when sliced. In the region of the axis of rotation, a recess 5 is provided which serves as a receptacle for the blade shaft and / or a blade receptacle provided thereon. In the present case, the plastic from which the base body is made is a glass fiber reinforced plastic. The main body is partially provided here in the region of the knife edge 5 with a coating 3, which in the present case consists of metal or a metal alloy. The main body may be partially hollow or made of solid material. The fibers of the reinforcement may be distributed uniformly or unevenly. The fibers may have a substantially identical length or a different length. In addition, the fibers can be joined together, for example by weaving or felting.
