Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for cutting off food slices from at least one food product, in particular sausage, ham and / or cheese, wherein a track is provided for each food product, along which it is transported by means of transport in the direction of a moving knife, which separates food slices from the front end of the food product, an individual slinging device being provided for each track.
  • the generic devices are known as so-called high-performance slicing devices, such as those in the DE 10001338 , the DE 10 2011 114 180 A1 , the EP 0107056 , the EP 0687263 as well as the GB 2386317 or in the DE 10 2012 214 741 A1 to be discribed.
  • so-called “slicers” bar-shaped or differently shaped food bars, for example sausage, cheese, ham, raw ham or the like, are cut into slices with a very high cutting performance, for example up to 1,000 cuts per minute or more.
  • the food bar is transported by means of a controlled drive through a stationary cutting plane, in which the cut is made by a rapidly moving, usually rotating cutting knife.
  • the slice thickness results from the feed distance of the food bar between two cuts. Accordingly, at a constant cutting knife rotation speed, the slice thickness is regulated via the feed speed of the food bar.
  • the sliced slices are generally combined and packaged into portions with a constant number of slices and / or weight.
  • several food bars are often cut open at the same time, each of which is transported along a track in the direction of the knife and each has a different length. It is therefore advantageous for these devices if each track has an individual stop means against which the food bar rests before it is cut open.
  • the object is achieved with a device for cutting off food slices from at least one food product, in particular sausage, ham and / or cheese, wherein a track is provided for each food product, along which it is connected with a Transport means is transported in the direction of a moving knife which cuts off food slices from the front end of the food product, an individual slinging means being provided for each track and the slinging means being a transport means which is variable in shape.
  • the present invention relates to a device for cutting a food bar into food slices.
  • Food bars of this type for example sausage, cheese or ham, typically have a length of between 300 and 3,500 millimeters, the length of the food bars generally not being the same.
  • These food bars are placed in the slicing device and transported continuously or intermittently by means of a transport in the direction of a rotating cutting knife.
  • the cutting knife can be, for example, a circular or sickle knife. This cutting knife separates slices of food from the front end of the food bar. The slices separated in this way generally fall onto a portioning device, with which they are combined into portions and then transported away.
  • This track-specific sling is achieved by means of a form of transport that can be changed.
  • the means of transport is located above the respective food bar and touches it on the top. It does not protrude into the transport route of the respective food bar. If the means of transport is to serve as a sling, its shape is changed so that it protrudes into the transport path of the food bar and blocks its movement in the direction of the knife. As soon as the respective food bar is to be cut open, the shape change is reversed so that the means of transport is located above the food bar.
  • the means of transport preferably has at least one roller, the circumference of which is variable.
  • the roller is surrounded by an elastic hose, the internal pressure of which can be changed.
  • the means of transport preferably has at least one roller, the position of which can be changed relative to another role of the means of transport.
  • the shape of the means of transport is changed by the change in position.
  • the transport means preferably has three rollers, at least one of which is provided with a position which can be changed relative to the other two. Two rollers are preferably provided such that they can move relative to a third roller.
  • the slicing device has a locking slide, which is provided in particular in a gap in the support of the food bar.
  • Each track preferably has its own individually controllable locking slide.
  • the locking slide serves as a stop when reloading and is removed from the transport path of the respective food bar for cutting the food bar. To eject a remnant, it can be moved from its retracted position to its locked position.
  • the transport means additionally has a stop means.
  • This stop means is preferably connected to the means of transport, in particular rigidly connected.
  • the transport means and the sling means preferably have a common pivot point.
  • the lifting means By rotating the pivot point in one direction of rotation, the lifting means is brought into a position in which it prevents the food bar from being transported further.
  • the stop means By rotating in the opposite direction, the stop means is removed from the transport path of the food bar and the transport means engages with the food bar in order to transport it in the direction of the cutting knife and / or to press it against the support of the food bar.
  • FIG. 1 shows a slicing device 5.
  • the slicing device 5 has a cutting knife 11 which cuts a food product 2 into food slices 12.
  • each food product 2 is transported with a conveyor 4, 9 here two conveyor belts 4, 9 continuously or intermittently in the direction of the cutting plane of the knife 11.
  • the lower conveyor belt 4 is also a product support.
  • the cutting knife 11 is fastened to a rotating knife holder 3 and preferably interacts with a cutting edge which is provided, for example, at the front end of a product support 4 and which preferably together define the cutting plane.
  • There is a so-called cutting gap between the knife 11 and the cutting edge which should be as small as possible, but must be so large that the knife does not touch the cutting edge. This gap must be adjusted regularly.
  • the cutting edge must be aligned parallel to the knife.
  • the food slices usually fall onto a storage table 1 which is provided with transport means, for example a conveyor belt or transport belt, on which they are configured to form a portion 14, here a stack.
  • transport means for example a conveyor belt or transport belt, on which they are configured to form a portion 14, here a stack.
  • the finished portions 14 are then removed from the cutting knife area and then packaged.
  • the slice thickness results from the feed distance of the food product between two cuts. With a constant knife rotation speed, the slice thickness is regulated via the feed speed of the food product.
  • the slicing device can have a gripper for each feed line, which grips the rear end 13 of the food product 2 before or during the slicing and stabilizes it during the slicing, in particular towards the end of the slicing, and discards the end piece, which cannot be sliced open.
  • Each gripper is preferably provided on a gripper carriage (not shown) which moves the grippers back and forth, in particular parallel to the feed direction of the food product.
  • the slicing device is preferably provided in multiple tracks, ie several food products 2 are sliced open by a knife, in particular at least temporarily at the same time or at least temporarily sequentially.
  • the device has its own track for each food product, along which it travels in the direction of the knife 11 is transported.
  • Each track has an individual means of transport 4, 9 which can be operated independently of the means of transport of the other tracks.
  • the cut food slices are configured into portions, in particular per track.
  • the rear of the food bars is also grasped individually for each track.
  • the Figures 2 to 5 show a first embodiment of the track-specific sling means, which is executed in the present case in the form of the conveyor belt 9. This is how in Figure 2 shown, provided in such a way that it can be shifted in height, so that it is different from that in the Figure 2 Blocking position shown in the food bar 2 can not be transported further, can be moved to a height shown in position 3, in which it serves as a conveyor belt for the food bar 8.
  • the individual blocking of the food bar 2 has the advantage that the longest food bar can first be cut open in the case of food bars of different lengths.
  • the food bars are recognized individually by the grippers 8 and the ends 13 are gripped individually, optionally the ends 13 can be gripped together by the grippers 8 if the food bars have reached the same length without the respective food bar being compressed or without the grippers being relative are provided movably to a central unit.
  • a remnant 7 is disposed of in a chute 16.
  • the gripper pulls the end piece 7 back and releases the engagement as soon as the remaining piece is above the chute 16.
  • This action can optionally be supported by a spear pusher 15, which is provided between the conveyor belt 4 and the conveyor belt 9 and thereby prevents the remaining piece 7 from reaching the rotation area of the knife 11.
  • the locking slide is moved from a retracted position in which it does not protrude into the transport path of the food bar into a raised position in which it blocks the transport path of the food bar.
  • the gripper moves into a rear "home position" and a new food bar 2 can be loaded into the respective track.
  • the conveyor belt 5 folded down about an axis 9 and blocked the transport path of the food bar, so that it does not accidentally collide with the knife.
  • the Figure 5 is a simpler embodiment too Figure 2 .
  • the conveyor belt 9 takes the Figure 2 shown position as a sling, in which the transport path of the food bar is also blocked. To cut the newly loaded food bar, the conveyor belt is then inserted into the Figure 3 position shown spent.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show a further embodiment of the sling according to the invention not according to the invention.
  • the conveyor belt 9 is coupled to a stop means 17, here an angle, which are jointly provided to be rotatable about the axis of rotation 9.
  • the illustrated embodiment blocks the stop means 17 from the transport path of the food bar 2 and thus acts as a stop.
  • the transport means serves to transport the food bar in the direction of the knife 11.
  • the Figures 8 and 9 show an embodiment of the stop means 9 according to the invention, which is provided with a shape change in the present case.
  • the stop means 9 which is also a means of transport, has three rollers and a conveyor belt running around the rollers. At least one of the rollers can be driven.
  • the conveyor belt 9 can also only serve to press the food bar against the support 4.
  • at least one of the rollers is provided so as to be displaceable in its position relative to at least one further roller.
  • the roller 18 is offset in the direction of the conveyor belt 4, so that the transport means 9 serves as a stop for the food bar 2 in the present case.
  • the roller 18 is pushed upwards and the roller 20 is pushed forward, so that the conveyor belt 9 takes on a flatter shape overall.
  • the front roller 20 then comes into engagement with the food bar 2 and serves to transport it in the direction of the knife 11.
  • the transport means 9 does not necessarily have to have a rotatingly driven roller. Then it only serves as a pressing means against the transport means 4.
