Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for the continuous slicing of products, in particular food products, for example from sausage, ham, cheese or the like.
  • the slicing apparatus in particular slicing apparatus, may preferably be a high-performance slicer.
  • the slicing device comprises at least one slicing unit, in particular with a rotating and / or planetary revolving circular or sickle knife, which separates product slices, and a feeding device for multi-track feeding of products to the slicing unit.
  • the feeding device comprises a loading device, which is also called a loading swing, which is designed to receive at least one product and is adjustable between a loading position and a feed position.
  • the loading device In the loading position, the loading device may in particular be oriented horizontally, while it may be inclined in the feed position and preferably arranged perpendicular to the cutting plane. Furthermore, the slicing device has a discharge device for discharging portions, which in each case comprise at least one separated product slice.
  • Such slicing devices are basically known.
  • a disadvantage of conventional slicing devices is that the loading of new products can cause breaks in the product flow. These interruptions are particularly disadvantageous if the discharge device is followed by a packaging machine. The shorter the products to be sliced, the more frequently new products have to be introduced into the loading device, ie the proportion of interruptions is comparatively high for shorter products.
  • a lane-specific requirement may arise during loading. The track-specific loading requirements are difficult, if at all, to capture with a higher clock rate.
  • the interruptions in the product flow lead to the use of buffer devices, in particular in the region of the conveying and / or sorting sections, which are connected downstream of the slicing unit.
  • buffer devices By the buffer devices, the total length of a system of supply device, slicing unit and discharge device extended.
  • the size of the plant may be a problem, because the plants are usually operated in foreclosed rooms due to the required hygiene, and possibly complicates the integration into existing processes and plant components.
  • DE 10 2012 109 247 A1 discloses an apparatus and a method for the continuous production of portions according to the preamble of claim 1 or claim 10.
  • a separate track is provided for each food product, along which it is transported in the direction of a knife.
  • Each track is independent of the other tracks from a loading position adjustable in a Zunaturalleton.
  • a disadvantage of this arrangement is the adjustment of the entire track, including the decisive for the exact product feed to the knife conveyor. Over the entire track length, therefore, all technical measures for the autonomous operation of the respective track, both for the feeding and the loading position, must be provided.
  • the conveyor thus extends over the entire track length. Furthermore, each track requires a lifting device.
  • the fulcrum position including recording in the vicinity of the cutting plane in terms of construction costs and accessibility unfavorable, since this results in a distance between the conveyor and the knife.
  • the loading device as a whole between the loading position and the feed position is adjustable.
  • all loading tracks of the loading device can only be adjusted together.
  • Such a loading device is much cheaper to manufacture and maintain than a loading device with individually adjustable Beladepuren.
  • the feeding device comprises at least one conveying device which, viewed in the feed direction, is connected downstream of the loading device and has at least two conveying tracks.
  • the number of conveyor tracks is basically arbitrary.
  • a product is cut in a conveyor track and the other conveyor track is loaded.
  • a product can be cut open in at least one conveying track and at least one other conveying track can be loaded.
  • the number of Abzhouspuren the discharge device is basically arbitrary.
  • the number of laxate tracks may correspond to the number of conveyor lanes. This may in particular be the case in a region in which the separated product slices pass through the slicing unit after separation. After a portioning area in which the separated slices are combined into portions, the number of removal tracks can be reduced, in particular by at least one discharge track. For example, four conveyor tracks and, after a portioning area, three discharge tracks may be provided.
  • portions should also be understood to mean partial portions which, for example, can be brought together to form a common portion by means of a partial portion which originally originates from another conveyor track. This is especially the case when a product in a conveyor lane is no longer sufficient to form a complete portion. The resulting partial portion can then be supplemented for example by product slices or a partial portion from another conveyor track.
  • the conveyor device according to the invention is not identical to the loading device.
  • the conveying device can be arranged or arranged immediately in front of the slicing unit.
  • the conveyor device can provide the product feed during the slicing operation. It is particularly advantageous if the conveyor as close as possible to the slicing unit, preferably the circular or sickle blade, reaching. This way you can In particular, an end region of the products are kept safe and promoted.
  • the conveyor preferably operates independently of the loading device.
  • the loading device can be adjusted in particular relative to the conveying device between an at least substantially horizontal loading position and an inclined feed position, without influencing the conveying device.
  • the conveyor device itself may preferably be arranged permanently in an oblique or inclined position. In particular, the conveying device is thus permanently in the feed position.
  • the feeder comprises a control device adapted to control the conveyor tracks independently of each other so as to continuously produce portions by interrupting the separation of product slices in a conveyor track and, in particular, almost simultaneously, e.g. within a maximum of 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25 or 0.1 seconds, starting to cut product slices in another conveyor track.
  • the supply device comprises a control device which is designed to control the conveyor tracks independently of each other in such a way that portions are continuously produced by cutting a product in a conveyor track until a predetermined criterion is met, prior to the removal of product slices started in another conveyor lane.
  • the criterion may be met when the product is completely cut open.
  • the criterion may also concern the achievement of a specific product range. It is conceivable, for example, an area with a certain contour and / or structure, which would lead to any gel-like product slices, such as a greasy or irregularly shaped area.
  • the criterion can be met when an end region of a product is reached.
  • a bleed or a cutting of a remnant piece corresponds to this no separation of product slices.
  • product slices only such, in particular complete, discs are considered, which are suitable for the formation of a portion.
  • the slicing of a product is therefore initially interrupted, preferably when it is completely cut open, before starting to slit the next product in another conveyor track.
  • the products in the conveyor tracks are alternately respectively, in particular completely, cut open by being supplied individually track.
  • one-piece pivotally designed loading device supplies all conveyor tracks using a single lifting or pivoting device. This significantly reduces the construction costs compared to individual track means for a movement in the vertical direction.
  • a new product can be loaded into the loading device while a previous product is fed and cut by the conveying device to a slicing unit.
  • the newly inserted product can be brought into a feed position independently of the other product, so that the new product can be cut as soon as the slicing of the previous product is interrupted on the other conveyor track.
  • At least one product can be permanently cut open. It is thus from the point of view of the slicing unit to a certain extent an improved single-track operation with the aid of a multi-track product feed. This leads to buffer sections being designed to be very short or omitted altogether can. The entire system can therefore be made comparatively compact.
  • Portions can then be formed from the product slices continuously separated from the products, which portions can be fed without interruption in the product flow to a packaging machine.
  • the device according to the invention and the method according to the invention are particularly advantageous especially when slicing foods of different types or short products, since in this case conventional loading times are relatively frequent, the flow thus often being interrupted and having to be evened out with additional measures.
  • the loading device extends at least substantially over the width of at least one conveyor track and is designed to bring a product to a predefinable or predetermined conveyor track.
  • the predefinable conveying track can preferably fulfill a specific criterion.
  • the criterion may be, for example, that the corresponding conveyor track is not occupied by a product and therefore requests a product for further cutting operation. It can also be provided, for example, to feed the conveying tracks as uniformly as possible alternately with products in order, for example, to keep wear in all conveying tracks comparable and / or to somewhat even out the cutting circumference of the cutting blade. Alternatively, for example, individual conveyor tracks can not be charged with products, at least temporarily, in order to maintain or clean these conveyor tracks, for example.
  • a product can thus be conveyed by the loading device on a specific conveyor track, so for example only in the feed direction, if the product is already on the loading device in the correct position.

  • a transverse distributor 48 follows as a distributor device. With the help of the transverse distributor 48, for example, a multi-lane product or portion stream can be combined into a single discharge lane 43.
  • transverse manifold 48 Through the transverse manifold 48, it is possible that a continuous flow to the packaging machine or a transfer point, such as a depositor is maintained.
  • the separation of product chips 40 takes place in accordance with the exemplary embodiment Fig. 8 by driving the portioning belt 44 against the actual conveying direction. Due to the split, each track assigned execution of Portionierbandes 44, it is thus possible to dissipate in one lane product Schnitzel 40, while still being cut in another track.
  • a feeder 8 with four parallel tracks is shown.
  • the products 10 are fed and cut in the conveying device 14 of the slicing unit 18. If these products 10 have at least essentially left the region of the loading device 12 and if a product 10 is completely cut open at least in a conveying track 22, 26 and the conveying track 22, 26 is thus empty, the loading device 12 can be moved into the loading position to produce a new product 10 from the single-ended tape 32.
