Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a slicing apparatus, in particular a high-performance slicer, for continuously slicing products, in particular food products, with at least one slicing unit, which comprises a movable cutting knife, a feeding device for feeding the products to the slicing unit in multiple directions in order to separate slices from the products , and a discharge device for discharging portions comprising at least one separated slice along a transport direction, wherein the discharge device has a first discharge conveyor and a second discharge conveyor downstream of the first discharge conveyor with respect to the transport direction.
  • Such slicing devices are used, for example, for the automatic slicing of sausage or cheese products with a high cutting rate. Breaks or interruptions in the product flow, which can occur due to the loading of the device with new product bars or product slices, are disadvantageous here. Such pauses do not exist in a continuous slicing, which can be achieved, for example, by alternately slicing several products in different conveyor tracks.
  • the unusable portion After loading with a new product, the unusable portion must first be removed from the discharge line before normal portions can be removed again on the relevant conveyor track. Likewise, the product residue present at the end of a product bar or product loaf must be removed from the discharge line. Also miss-weighted portions, Snippets and the like must sometimes be removed. This can be z. B. be accomplished with a configured as a rocker conveyor, which is tilted down as needed and thereby drops the specificallyschcheid product material. However, the provision of such a rocker including the associated control is complicated and expensive. In addition, the conveyor line and thus the footprint extended. Another possibility for discharging is to temporarily operate the conveyor intended for portioning backwards. The conveyor in question would have to be able to operate on a track-specific basis in this case, which is also associated with a relatively high outlay.
  • a separating device for separate product parts to be separated out is provided between the first discharge conveyor and the second discharge conveyor. Furthermore, the invention provides a track merger which is designed to take time after time each of a number of different conveyor tracks of the first discharge conveyor notirrigna portions and to unite on the second discharge conveyor in a smaller number of tracks, so there is a continuous product stream ,
  • the separation device may be a simple discharge opening, through which the product parts to be eliminated fall through. But it could also be a z. B. transversely to the transport direction moving conveyor form the separation device. Such a conveyor can promote the falling on him product parts, possibly under the track unification through, and z. B. throw off to the side. The falling or discarded product parts can be collected in a reject container.
  • the first discharge conveyor can be arranged immediately after the slicing unit and in particular directly after the associated cutting blade. However, this is not mandatory.
  • the separating device can be arranged directly behind the first discharge conveyor, although this is not absolutely necessary.
  • a weighing device could be arranged between the first discharge conveyor and the separating device.
  • the precipitator according to the invention is located anywhere in a food serving conveyor system where product streams from multiple sources are combined, i. be merged.
  • the multiple sources may be e.g. different tracks of a single slicer or different, e.g. only one-lane, working slicer.
  • the track merger can comprise a deflection conveyor whose conveying width is smaller by at least one conveying track than the conveying width of all conveying tracks of the first discharging conveyor and whose input-side end is displaceable transversely to the transport direction by at least one conveying track. This allows a particularly simple construction.
  • the separating device extends transversely to the transport direction at least substantially over all conveyor tracks of the first discharge conveyor away.
  • product residues can be removed from the discharge stream on all conveyor tracks of the first discharge conveyor.
  • the length of the separating device which is related to the transport direction, is preferably greater than the length of a portion. This ensures a reliable exit without "snagging". At a discharge opening is ensured by the specified length that there is sufficient space for the trajectory of the case.
  • deflector elements can be provided in order to deflect product parts to be discharged in the input-side region downwards and / or to shield components which are present there.
  • An embodiment of the invention provides that the track merger is designed as a multi-belt conveyor with a plurality of individual conveyor belts.
  • the conveyor belts are preferably designed as a round belt. This allows a given entanglement on a relatively short distance.
  • the track merger comprises a fixed output-side deflection roller and a transverse to the transport direction drive roller.
  • the drive roller may in particular be sleeve-like and rotationally fixed, but slidably mounted on a rotatably driven carrier shaft.
  • the drive roller positively engaged with the carrier shaft, z. B. over a polygon profile.
  • Such a sleeve-like drive roller can be adjusted by means of a, in particular pneumatic, adjusting device in the transverse direction.
  • a reversal in the sense is conceivable that the output side, the drive roller is located and the input-side guide roller is adjustable transversely to the transport direction.
  • the first discharge conveyor has two, three or four conveyor tracks, while the second discharge conveyor has only one single conveyor track, on which a continuous product stream with so-called good portions, ie portions with desired properties, a subsequent processing, in particular a packaging machine is supplied.
  • the second discharge conveyor is arranged centrally with respect to the input-side delivery width.
  • the invention also relates to a method for the continuous slicing of products, in particular food products, wherein the products are supplied in multiple lanes to at least one slicing unit with a movable cutting blade for separating slices from the products, and portions comprising at least one sliced slice along a transport direction on a first Abvant modifier and one of the first discharge conveyor downstream of the transport direction second discharge conveyor be removed.
  • separated product parts to be separated are fed to an separating device located between the first discharge conveyor and the second discharge conveyor, and that successively in each case by a number of different conveying tracks of the first discharge conveyor non-excreted portions and combined on the second discharge conveyor in a smaller number of tracks.
  • another track is loaded with a second or further product, whereby an unappealable product beginning of the second or further product is separated before the first product is completely cut open.
  • the beginning of the product of the second or further product is cut by means of the cutting blade into unprofitable starting parts, wherein the cutting of the product beginning is started exactly when the usable product residue of the first product is just sufficient for separating those number of disks, which corresponds to a predetermined number of unusable gate parts of the second or further product.
  • the invention provides the possibility that, despite the multi-lane working with each cutting movement of the knife, i. with each knife pass or with each blade revolution, a total of only one usable slice is separated and thus at no time a knife passage or a knife rotation takes place with the or at the same time several usable slices are separated, with only a researcherscheidender product part is separated or with which nothing is separated at all, the knife thus "goes into the void".
  • a simultaneous separation of a usable slice on one of the tracks and a product part to be discarded on another of the tracks is possible according to the invention and particularly advantageous in the sense of continuous slicing by track merging with the possibility of simultaneous disposal of gate.
  • a slicing device 11 in the form of a high-performance slicer is shown simplified.
  • the slicing device 11 comprises a feed device, not specifically shown, which is designed for the two-lane feeding of food products 15, such as sausage or cheese wheels.
  • the feeding device By means of the feeding device, the products 15 are delivered to a slicing unit 16, wherein a cutting blade of the slicing unit 16, which is rotating and / or revolving in a cutting plane S, continuously separates slices from the products 15.
  • the feeder may include a loading device configured to receive the products 15 and is adjustable between a loading position and a feed position.
  • the slicer 11 is designed to continuously slit products 15, that is, it is designed to produce a completely continuous product flow without load interruptions and the like in throughput reducing situations. Furthermore, the slicing apparatus 11 is adapted to prevent retraction of the products 15 from the cutting blade for the purpose of preventing snipping.
  • a discharge device 17 For discharging the separated slices in the form of portions 20 along a transport direction T, a discharge device 17 is provided, which has a two-lane input conveyor 19 and a single-lane output conveyor 21 arranged downstream of it with respect to the transport direction T.
  • the input conveyor 19 and the output conveyor 21 are each formed in the illustrated embodiment as a belt conveyor.
  • the input conveyor 19 forms a Portionieranier and the output conveyor 21 is connected upstream of a packaging machine, but this does not necessarily have to be provided.
  • a portion 20 a single disc or an arrangement of several, for. B. stacked, shingled or round discs.
  • a separating device 25 for separated product parts 27 to be separated.
  • the separated product parts 27 to be removed may be unworkable residues, bleed disks, end pieces, incorrect portions, chips or the like.
  • the illustrated embodiment provides a simple discharge opening as the separating device 25.
  • a, preferably removable, reject container can be arranged, which is not shown in the figure.
  • the separating device 25 extends transversely to the transport direction T over both conveying tracks of the input conveyor 19 away and is seen in the transport direction T longer than a portion 20th
  • the track merger 29 is designed here as Umlenkwhier and comprises an array of several individual round belt 31, which are guided around a drive roller 33 and a guide roller 35. While the guide roller 35 is fixed and as shown aligned with the output conveyor 21, the drive roller 33 is displaceable transversely to the transport direction T, as in Fig. 1 indicated by the double arrow. Specifically, the drive roller 33 is sleeve-like and rotatably, but slidably mounted on a rotatably driven carrier shaft 39.
  • the drive-effective connection between the sleeve-like drive roller 33 and the support shaft 39 may be made by positive engagement, for. B. by a polygon profile.
  • a, z. B. pneumatic, adjusting device 41 is provided for controlled movement of the drive roller 33.
  • the portions 20 are shown transparent.
  • the drive roller 33 is positioned so that it is located in the region of the conveyor track remote from the product parts 27.
  • the product parts 27 are then conveyed from the input conveyor 19 to the separation device 25 and fall into the discharge opening.
  • a further promotion of Portions 20 take place, so that as a result a continuous product flow is generated on the output conveyor 21, insofar as the two input-side tracks on the output conveyor 21 are combined in only a single track.
  • the slicer 11 When the slicer 11 is loaded on a lane with a new product 15, the slicing of its initial product into chop-pieces is waited if necessary.
  • the production of bleed parts is in particular only started when the product remainder of the first product is just sufficient to produce that number of sheets for producing or completing a portion which corresponds to a predetermined number of unworkable bleed parts of the new product 15.
  • the slicing device 11 is an in Fig. 1 Not shown control means associated, which controls the operation and in particular the temporal interaction of the individual components.
  • the slicing device 11 is formed as a single multi-track slicer.
  • the slicing could also several independent slicing units 16 including corresponding product feeds, ie z. B. also several juxtaposed (for example, each only single-track slicer working, so that can not process several products simultaneously) and thus allow multi-track cutting.
  • An alternative embodiment of the invention provides that the input conveyor 19 has three or four conveyor tracks. Furthermore, if necessary, the track unifier 29 can also be multi-lane. However, it is desirable that the conveying width of the track merger 29 is smaller by at least one conveying track than the conveying width of all conveying tracks of the input conveyor 19.
