Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of slicing a food bar in portions.
  • Food bars such as sausage, cheese and / or ham bars must often be cut for sale in portions, which consist of at least one, preferably several food slices.
  • This slicing is usually done on so-called slicers, in which the respective food bar rests on a support that transports him continuously or intermittently in the direction of a cutting knife, which separates food slices from the front end of the food bar.
  • the thickness of the respective disc is preferably determined by the speed of the feed in relation to the rotational speed of the cutting blade.
  • the cut slice (s) is / are transported in portions, whereby the weight of the packaging must correspond to the prepackaging regulation.
  • the packages in particular on average, must be equipped with a higher weight than the stated minimum weight.
  • this additional weight is known to those skilled in the art as "give away" and is undesirable or minimized because it limits the profitability of food production. which do not reach a given nominal weight and / or a predetermined number of discs.
  • the object is achieved with a method for slicing a food bar into portions with a predetermined nominal weight, characterized in that:
  • the length and weight of the food bar is determined, the length and / or weight of the gate and the tail is determined and
  • the present invention relates to a method for slicing a food bar in portions, each having at least a certain nominal weight, for example 100 grams.
  • the food bar preferably has a constant cross-section.
  • the food is a sausage or a cheese having a substantially constant caliber.
  • the method according to the invention first of all determines the weight and the length of the food bar.
  • the food bar can be weighed or the weight is taken from a database.
  • the determination of the length can be carried out by a scanner and / or during transportation of the food bar to the slicing device out with a sensor, for example, a light barrier and / or by the position of the (r) product holder, are determined.
  • the length of the gate that is trimmed and discarded or otherwise used prior to making portions and the length of the tail that is typically penetrated by a gripper are set.
  • the length of the food bar available for the portioning is determined from these data and from this the length of each portion to be cut off is determined, which preferably all have the same length.
  • This length is then divided into a predetermined number of slices and / or the minimum and maximum slice thickness is given and this results in the number of portions.
  • the local contour of the food bar is preferably not determined.
  • the length and / or the weight of the food bar and / or the length and / or the weight of the gate and / or the remaining piece is determined on the basis of empirical values. In particular, historical values are used. In this preferred embodiment of the
  • the cutting dust produced during cutting is preferably taken into account.
  • Cross-sectional area of the food bar determined.
  • a dimension of the end face of the discs is determined by means, for example calculated. However, it can also be a means, for example a camera, which determines at least one dimension of the end face of at least one slice of the food bar to be sliced. For example, another dimension can be calculated from it. The result of the dimension determination can be incorporated into the definition of the portionwise cut off length.
  • At least one portion of a sliced food bar and / or at least one portion of a particular batch is weighed, and the result is included in the calculation of the length of the portion to be averaged on average by correcting the average length to be separated.
  • the thickness of the cut slices is> 2 mm.
  • the thickness of the disk is preferably> 10 mm, particularly preferably> 20 mm and very particularly preferably> 25 mm. This can result in end pieces having a thickness that significantly exceed the fixed thickness of the tail. This will be the more serious any larger the nominal thickness of the discs.
  • the length of the tail is determined and the proportion of the thickness of the tail by which the specified thickness is exceeded, is distributed to all portions to be cut.
  • the thickness of the tail is fixed and the gate is extended by the proportion of the thickness of the tail by which the specified thickness is exceeded. According to a further preferred embodiment, the thickness of the tail is determined and the proportion of the thickness of the tail to the specified thickness
  • FIGS. 1-2 These explanations are merely exemplary and do not limit the general inventive concept.
  • FIG. 1 shows a slicing device with which the method according to the invention can be carried out.
  • FIG. 2 shows a food bar to be cut up
  • FIG. 1 shows a slicing device 5 with which the method according to the invention can be carried out.
  • the slicing device 5 has a cutting blade 1 1, which cuts a food product 2 in food slices 12.
  • each food product 2 with a conveying means 4, in this case two conveyor belts 4, is transported continuously or intermittently in the direction of the cutting plane of the knife 11.
  • the lower conveyor belt 4 is at the same time a product support.
  • the cutting blade 1 1 is attached to a rotating blade holder 3 and cooperates with a cutting edge cutting together, which is provided for example at the front end of a product support 4, and together define the cutting plane.
  • a so-called cutting gap is present, 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. This can be done by a movement of the knife and / or the cutting edge.
  • the cutting edge must be aligned parallel to the knife.
  • the slicing device may have a gripper per feed path, which is the rear end of the Food product 2 before or during cutting engages and this during slicing, in particular towards the end of the slicing, stabilized and the tail, which can not be cut, discarded.
  • Each gripper is preferably provided on a gripper carriage (not shown), which moves the grippers, in particular parallel to the feed direction of the food product, back and forth.
  • the slicing device is provided in multiple tracks, i. H. that a plurality of food products 2 are cut open by a knife, in particular at least temporarily at the same time or at least temporarily sequentially.
  • the device has a separate track for each food product, along which it is transported in the direction of the knife 11.
  • the weight and the length of the food bar 2 are first of all determined.
  • the food bar can be weighed or the weight is taken from a database or label and the
  • the determination of the length 9 can be done by a scanner and / or during transport of the food bar for
  • Slicing down with a sensor such as a light barrier can be determined. Further, the length of the gate 6, which is cut and discarded or otherwise used before the preparation of portions, and the length of the tail 7, which is usually penetrated by a gripper, set. From these data, the length 8 of the food bar available for the portioning is determined, and from this the length of each portion 14 to be cut off is determined, which preferably all have the same length. This length is then divided into a predetermined number of slices and / or the minimum thickness of a slice is specified.
  • the method according to the invention preferably does not determine the local contour of the food bar. With the measured and calculated data, the slicing process of the respective food bar is controlled.
  • Figure 2 shows a food bar 2 with a gate 6 and an end piece 7.
  • the usable length 8 is, for example, so divided into portions 14 that as many portions with the desired Nennweicht arise without an incomplete portion is cut.
  • the Nominal weight falls below the legal limit or the nominal weight of some portions is exceeded, but there is no incomplete portion.
  • a means 13 is provided, for example a camera, with which at least one dimension of the cross-sectional area of the end face of the food bar can be determined.
  • This analysis can be done for each slice, for one or more slices per serving or for one or more slices per food bar. The analysis can be incorporated into the calculation of the length to be separated per serving.
