Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cutter with a rotating bowl and a non-moving part, between which a seal is provided.
  • the present invention also relates to the replacement of such a seal.
  • Cutters are well known from the prior art. With these machines, food, in particular meat and cheese, is for example chopped up, mixed and / or emulsified.
  • the cutter has a rotating bowl, which is often essentially in the shape of a torus, with a motor-driven cutter shaft being provided approximately tangentially to the vertical axis of rotation of the torus, which carries a cutter head equipped with knives, which shred the food in the cutter bowl and / or crush and / or mix.
  • a gap is provided which is closed with a seal. This seal is subject to wear and tear and therefore has to be replaced regularly, which was often time-consuming in the past.
  • Such a device is from the document DE9215684U known.
  • the present invention was therefore based on the object of providing a cutter and a method which does not have the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the object is achieved with a cutter with a rotating bowl and a non-moving part, between which a one-part or multi-part seal is provided, the seal having a connection which connects at least two ends of the seal to one another.
  • the present invention relates to a cutter with which food, in particular meat and cheese, is, for example, chopped, mixed and / or emulsified.
  • the cutter has a bowl which rotates about a preferably vertical axis, which receives the food and which often has essentially the shape of a torus and on the outer circumference of which an essentially horizontal edge is generally arranged.
  • a motor-driven knife shaft is preferably provided approximately tangential to the torus axis, which carries a knife head equipped with knives or other tools. which chop up the food in the cutter bowl, for example.
  • a gap is provided which is closed with a seal, in particular so that no food can get under the bowl.
  • the seal has at least one connection which connects two ends of the seal to one another.
  • the seal can initially be placed around the bowl without the ends being connected to one another. Then the ends are connected to each other.
  • the seal can consequently be installed without removing the bowl from the frame, which considerably simplifies the replacement of the seal. Nevertheless, the seal is sufficiently tight and / or sufficiently stable in its shape and position.
  • connection between the two ends of the seal is in a freely accessible area on the periphery of the bowl, which is outside the area in which the food is loaded or unloaded into the cutter and / or in which otherwise, as typically, food with the seal in Contact can come.
  • the seal is preferably made from a plastic material, for example a rubber-like plastic material, in particular from a plastic material comprising rubber and / or silicone.
  • the seal preferably has an elastic lip which particularly preferably rests against the rotating bowl and which is particularly preferably provided in one piece with a base element, the foot of the seal.
  • the seal is preferably extruded.
  • connection between the two ends is preferably cohesive in that, for example, an adhesive is provided between the ends.
  • connection can be connected to one another by the action of heat and / or a chemical process, such as vulcanization, and / or with a mechanical means.
  • a conceivable mechanical connection is, for example, a tongue and groove connection, one end having the groove and one end the tongue.
  • a connecting means is preferably provided in the area of the connection, which connects the two ends of the seal to one another, in particular reversibly.
  • This connecting means is preferably made of a different material than the seal itself.
  • the connecting means is preferably connected to the seal in a non-positive, positive and / or material fit.
  • the connecting means can consist of one or more, in particular consist of two parts. In the event that the connecting means consists of only one part, this is preferably provided between the two ends of the seal. In the event that the seal is provided in several parts, for example in two parts, one part is preferably connected to one end of the seal in each case. To assemble the seal on the cutter, the two parts are connected to one another.
  • the connecting means is preferably made of metal, in particular made of a wire, a pin or a sheet metal.
  • the seal, in particular with the connecting means can preferably be tensioned.
  • the connecting element can be arranged on the cutter, in particular on the non-moving part.
  • the connecting means is preferably not provided in the area of the lip of the seal, but only in the area of the base of the seal.
  • the two ends of the lip of the seal are preferably pressed against one another by the connection in the area of the base of the seal, in particular pressed against one another in abutment and / or form a tight contact point by resting against the opposite surface on the cutter bowl.
  • the joint of the two ends of the lip of the seal can additionally be covered with a cover strip from the outside and / or from the inside of the lip.
  • the connection in the area of the lip is preferably designed like a pocket, so that one end of the lip extends into the pocket-shaped other end of the lip and at the same time the lip rests continuously on the opposite running surface of the bowl.
  • the seal has a lip which interacts with the bowl, in particular a projection on the edge of the bowl.
  • the foot of the seal is preferably connected directly or indirectly to the frame of the cutter. The person skilled in the art understands that the arrangement can also be reversed.
  • a freely accessible gap is preferably provided between the cutter edge and the frame or another stationary part of the cutter, such as a sealing base, for example.
  • This gap preferably extends around the entire circumference of the bowl and is not covered by a sheet metal or any other means.
  • the width of this gap is preferably equal to or greater or even smaller than the width that the seal can occupy minimally, whereby it can be reversibly compressed, especially with a small gap.
  • the seal can be mounted through the gap without a cover or the like having to be dismantled, which facilitates the manufacture of the cutter, but in particular also the replacement of the seal. In very confined areas of the cutter, it may also be necessary to use spoon-like auxiliary tools for assembly support, for example.
  • the gap between the rotating bowl and the stationary part of the bowl drive, preferably the gear, which is preferably arranged at the lower end of the bowl, is sealed.
  • Another object of the present invention is a method for changing a seal of a cutter, the seal being arranged between the bowl of the cutter and a non-moving part of the cutter, for example the frame, in which the ends of the seal are connected to one another.
  • connection of the two ends to one another takes place in particular after the seal has been placed around the bowl and has assumed its final position.
  • the ends are materially connected to one another.
  • the ends are connected to one another in a form-fitting and / or force-fitting manner, the form-fitting and / or force-fitting being in particular reversible.
  • the seal is preferably tensioned before the two ends are connected.
  • the ends of the seal are preferably shortened before the connection. As a result, a standard seal can be made available for different cutter sizes, which is then adapted to the respective cutter on site.
  • a recess is preferably provided for mounting the seal in this, into which a fastening means is then inserted.
  • the seal is reversibly compressed for its assembly.
  • the lip of the seal is placed against the base of the seal. It is particularly preferred that the lip of the seal does not assume its original position after it has been installed, but is pretensioned against the bowl.
  • the seal is preferably mounted through a freely accessible area between the cutter edge and the frame.
  • This area preferably extends around the entire circumference of the bowl and is not covered by a sheet metal or any other means.
  • the distance between the frame and the bowl in this area is preferably greater than the width of the seal, in particular the width to which the seal is minimally compressible.
  • one end of the seal is fixed to the frame of the cutter and the seal is then placed piece by piece around the cutter bowl until a complete circle is drawn. The two ends of the seal are then connected to one another.
  • FIGS 1 - 3 each show a section of the cutter 1 according to the invention.
  • the cutter has a bowl 2 which is designed, for example, in the shape of a torus.
  • the bowl is mounted on a frame 3 so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis.
  • the product to be comminuted and / or emulsified (not shown) lies in the bowl 2.
  • the product, in particular meat, cheese or other foods, is comminuted and / or emulsified by cutting knives (not shown) which are located on a motor-driven knife head .
  • a gap 13 is provided which extends around the entire circumference of the bowl and is sealed by a seal 4 in order to prevent product or cleaning liquid from getting between the frame and the The bottom of the bowl.
  • the seal 4 is arranged on a circumferential base 8, but this is optional.
  • the seal has a foot which rests against the frame 3 and here the base 8, on which an elastic lip 4.1 is provided in one piece, which cooperates sealingly with the underside of the bowl rim and here with the bowl rim 2.1.
