Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device, in particular high-speed slicer, for slicing food products in at least one slice comprehensive portions.
  • the food products may be, for example, sausage, ham, meat, cheese or the like.
  • the slicing device comprises a slicing unit which is designed to separate slices from a product.
  • the slicing unit can be a rotary blade and / or a planetary rotating cutting blade, in particular sickle or circular blade.
  • the separated slices fall on a conveyor belt, such as a Portionierband, and form there a portion.
  • a certain period of time is required during which no slices are separated from the product.
  • the product feeder is stopped.
  • this has the disadvantage that the product possibly expands and extends into the region of the cutting plane. This may result in the slicing unit separating product slices or product slices from the product. These product chips or product scraps get on the finished portions and affect the visual appearance.
  • so-called idle cuts have hitherto been carried out. In this case, for example, the supplied product is moved back against the conveying direction from the cutting plane and / or the slicing unit is moved away from the cutting plane. In this way, contact between the product and the slicing unit is prevented.
  • the slicing unit performs a normal cutting motion on the blank cuts, but without separating slices from the product.
  • Slicing devices are known from the prior art, in which portions can be formed and removed without passing through any blank sections.
  • DE 197 13 813 C1 discs are cut on a Stapelauftechnik. This passes a partially finished stack on a portioning tape. The incomplete stack is completed on the Portionierband by more discs. When the stack is completed, the stack picker engages the pulley stream so that another stack can be created on the stack picker. In the meantime, the complete stack can be removed.
  • DE 10 2010 060 325 A1 describes a similar principle. A clipboard is shot here and then a portion created. The still incomplete portion is transferred to a conveyor and completed there.
  • the disks in a cutting region as a disk flow fall directly on at least one carrier and form a portion on the carrier.
  • the carrier may in particular be a rigid portion carrier. This can remain connected to a portion and, for example, transported together.
  • the carrier can thus be e.g. Serve as a tray for the portion.
  • a conventional conveyor belt which transports portions does not correspond to a carrier in the sense of the present invention, especially since in the present case the carrier itself is transported.
  • an obstacle for influencing the discs preferably attached to the cutting device, can be arranged.
  • This may be a rigid obstacle such as a simple rod or a moving obstacle such as a particular relatively short, preferably at a relatively high speed rotating endless belt.
  • a changed storage of the discs can be achieved on the product tray.
  • the panes can be folded, folded or compressed for filing, which in certain applications. is desired.
  • so-called "shaved meat" portions can be formed from compressed discs.
  • a portion is understood as a complete portion which can be packed in this form.
  • a partial portion is included, which may have, for example, a predeterminable number of discs or a predeterminable weight.
  • a portion comprises only a single slice. The portions are put together in particular on the carrier. The individual discs can be stacked or shingled on the carrier.
  • the slicing apparatus includes a moving device for moving the portion-loaded carrier from the cutting area.
  • the carriers can be moved together with the portions to a downstream processing device, for example a packaging device.
  • the portions may be buffered, sorted and / or handled, in particular rotated or overlapped.
  • the end of the movement device only good portions are preferably transferred to the packaging device.
  • the slicing device has an introduction device, which is designed to introduce at least one further carrier into the disk flow as soon as a portion is formed on the preceding carrier.
  • the carrier may be particularly empty during insertion.
  • the carrier already has a few discs, in particular of a different kind.
  • mixed portions ie portions with slices of different types, can be created. For example, if a partial portion with a desired number of slices of a variety has been created, then the carrier with the partial portion can be transported to a further slicing unit and introduced there into the corresponding slice current in order to produce slices of another variety.
  • the same principle applies to slices of the same variety.
  • a partial portion can also be moved to another slicing unit in order to be completed there.
  • another carrier may be introduced into the disc stream for a subsequent portion once the previous portion on a preceding carrier has been completely created or, for example, at mixed portions, has a desired number of discs.
  • the slicing device comprises at least one control device for controlling the movement of the carriers, the slicing unit and / or the introduction device. It is possible that a single controller controls all processes. Alternatively, separate control devices can also be provided for the carriers, the slicing unit and / or the introduction device.
  • portioning does not take place on a portioning belt, as is customary in the field, but directly on the carrier.
  • the carrier is introduced into the cutting area to accommodate the separated slices.
  • These discs fall directly on the carrier, i. a mechanical and control technically complex Stapelauftechnik or a clipboard is not required.
  • the discs fall in particular exclusively on the carrier.
  • the discs are transported on.
  • the portions formed do not shift thereby, since no further transfer of the portions, e.g. From a Stapelauf disturbing or a clipboard on the carrier or from a Portionierband on a subsequent conveyor belt, is required.
  • the slicing unit is designed to continuously separate slices from a product, the slab flow being continuous.
  • the pulp flow is not interrupted, for example, to remove the portions, so that the throughput and thus the number of portions produced per unit of time can be significantly increased.
  • the movement device comprises a plurality of individually movable transport movers and a transport system for the transport movers, in which the transport movers are movable along at least one predetermined path in a removal direction, wherein in particular the transport movers each comprise at least one traveler cooperating with the railway system and one Include holder for receiving at least one carrier on the runner.

  • the aforementioned company MagneMotion Inc. uses a technique in which each transport moover is provided with a transducer which induces a signal in the stator formed by the railway system, thereby enabling the control device to determine the exact position of the transport movers with an accuracy of fractions of a millimeter or fractions of a centimeter, depending on the size of the overall system.
  • An advantage of this system is that no external sensors are needed.
  • the subdivision of the webs into a multiplicity of web elements ensures that no collisions occur between successive transport movers.

It may be contemplated that the web system comprises several tens to several hundred transport movers, i. In a sense, there can be a veritable "swarm" of transport movers in the railway system in order to transport a large number of portions and, if necessary, perform additional functions such as, for example, buffering, distributing and / or allocating portions.
  • control device controls the slicing unit such that no idle cuts are carried out.
  • a blank cut is usually made after the last slice of a serving, which may also be a partial serving. The cut in the course of the next knife revolution thus goes into the void.
  • a single product is cut open continuously without interruption.
  • An interruption only takes place during a product change, ie when a product is completely cut open and then a new product is cut open.
  • Breaks when cutting are minimized according to the invention. This leads to a continuous disk flow and concomitantly to a continuous portion stream.

It is sufficient in this case, whenever always in an end position of the holder 30, preferably in the oblique position before delivery of the carrier 16 in the cutting area, a new, empty carrier 16 is nachge petitiont.
  • two carriers 16 can also be provided for a single portion 18. These carriers 16 can be introduced from the side into the disk flow. This has the particular advantage that the carriers 16 can be introduced more quickly into the continuous disk flow of the falling disks.
  • a portion 18 conveyed on the carriers 16 can also be dispensed into a packaging 34 in a simple manner.
  • the carriers 16 are hereby separated from each other above the packaging 34, so that the portion 18 can fall down. This can be done, for example, at the end of a railway system 26.
  • the portion 18 is then in a packaging tray, e.g. a tray.
  • a plurality of holders 30 are each arranged laterally next to a track. These holders 30 provide for feeding the empty carriers 16 and can be moved in the X and Y directions.
  • the empty carriers 16 can be introduced into the cutting area via a single-stroke unit 36 below a cutting edge.
  • the carriers 16 may in this case already be connected to a transport movers 24 or otherwise be transported, for example via a conveyor belt, into the cutting area.
  • the trans- portmover with the carrier 16 are moved back and forth to create a desired storage image.
  • This cutting area, in which the portions are created, can also be arranged separately from the web system 26, which provides for the removal.
  • a positioning device 38 is symbolically indicated by the arrows.
  • the introduction device 20 may thus comprise a positioning device 38 in these embodiments, which provides for a lifting and / or rotational movement of the carrier 16.
  • the positioning device 38 is operative before the carriers 16 are transferred to the transport movers 24. Also, the positioning device 38 can rotate the carriers 16 to arrange the discs 14, for example, in a round.
  • the positioning device 38 may, for example, include a scale to weigh the portion 18 in this step.
  • the positioning device 38 can detect and guide the carrier 14 from the outside.
  • the positioning device 38 can also lower the carrier 16 and transfer it to the transport movers 24 waiting below. It is conceivable here for the carrier 16 to be dropped into a holder of the transport movers 24 with the aid of gravitational acceleration.
  • the introduction device 20 comprises a turning device.
  • a plurality of holders 30 are arranged rotatably about a rotation axis D.
  • the supports 16 can, figuratively, be moved as in a Ferris wheel and be introduced successively in the cutting area.
  • a swivel joint 40 at the respective end region of the holders 30 ensures that the carriers 16 are always aligned horizontally.
  • the holder 30 may be adjustable in length. It is also conceivable that the respective holders are height adjustable. Preferably, the carriers 16 may perform an XY movement and / or rotational movement through the holders 30.
  • the rotating device can be arranged laterally next to the track or the movement device 22.
  • two Drehvorrichtun- gene can be provided with a common axis of rotation D, which alternately perform carrier 16 in the cutting area. This can be done from one side or both sides.
  • the portions 18 may be weighed prior to transfer to the transport movers 24.
  • idle cuts can be avoided.
  • the device does not need any equipment for it, i. the slicing unit does not have to have a disengagement mechanism or the like for this purpose.
  • the product 10 does not have to be moved counter to the feed direction.
  • the fact that the discs 14 fall directly on the carrier 16 and are no longer removed from them to the packaging device, a high portion quality is achieved.
  • the portion structure is not adversely affected by any band transitions during transport.
  • Movement device 24 Transport movers
