Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cutting machine for commercial purposes, with which bread, but also cheese, sausage and similar string-shaped foods can be cut into slices of any thickness.
  • the cutting machine according to the invention can in particular be a round-blade machine, but in principle also a gate cutting machine.
  • a circular knife machine for cutting a food strand into slices is known.
  • This cutting machine has a circular cutting blade that can rotate around its central axis and can also be swiveled around in a circular path. During this swiveling movement, it is guided through the strand-shaped food to be cut into slices.
  • the strand-shaped food is fed to the cutting blade in a channel-like shaft and cut into slices.
  • the cut slices are stored upright on a storage area arranged downstream of the cutting blade in the conveying direction.
  • the gate cutting machine has a motor drive for a feed bar, with which a foodstuff is pushed through a cutting device made up of two knife gates. This motor drive works continuously, so that the bread is transported through the cutting device at a constant speed.
  • the cutting machines known in the prior art usually have a packaging device to facilitate the packaging of the sliced package. To do this, the package of slices is placed on a plate-shaped shelf. A bag or pouch can then be put over the shelf and the package of slices and the food can be pushed off the shelf with the bag or pouch.
  • the shelf is usually located outside the housing of the cutting machine to enable the food to be packaged as conveniently as possible.
  • a cutting machine in which a comparable packaging device is present in the removal area and/or in the insertion area.
  • the packaging device is located inside the housing of the cutting machine. This arrangement of the packaging device means that the slice package can be packaged inside the cutting machine. However, the slice package still has to be packaged by the operator of the cutting machine, i.e. by the end customer if necessary.
  • a cutting machine is known in which a packaging film web is kept ready in a packaging station.
  • a packaging bag is formed from this packaging film web around the slice package, the side seams of which are gradually welded.
  • the DE 93 10 344 U1 discloses a cutting machine in which a bag package is provided following the shaft area.
  • the cut slice package can be inserted manually or automatically into the top bag of this bag package. To do this, the top bag of the bag package is held open by a blower.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying an improved cutting machine for strand-shaped foodstuffs, in which an automated packaging of the cut slice package can be carried out as simply and reliably as possible within the cutting machine.
  • the cutting machine according to the invention is given by the features of the main claim 1.
  • the cutting machine has a housing with an insertion area for the strand-shaped food, a cutting blade for the strand-shaped food and a removal area for the cut strand-shaped food.
  • a shaft for receiving the strand-shaped food.
  • the longitudinal direction of the shaft corresponds to the feed direction of the strand-shaped food.
  • a packaging device for the cut strand-shaped food is present within the housing.
  • the packaging device has at least one bag opener and at least one storage area for bags.
  • the bag opener can hold a bag provided by the storage area for bags at least in the area of the bag opening. It is provided that the storage area for bags is located in the immediate vicinity of the cutting blade so that the cut slices can be gradually pushed into the bag.
  • the shaft is angled. Behind the bag, viewed in the feed direction, there is a movable disc holder by which the bag can be compressed in its longitudinal extension.
  • the sliced package forms directly inside the bag.
  • the slice package does not have to be pushed into the bag manually or by machine, which could lead to the slice package falling over in parts and not being able to be packed as a whole. Since the slice package forms gradually inside the bag, the formation of crumbs in this area of the cutting machine is also reduced. This is visually advantageous and also preferable from a hygienic point of view.
  • the insertion area and the removal area can be two different areas of the cutting machine.
  • the removal area it would also be possible for the removal area to correspond to the insertion area of the cutting machine.
  • the bags can basically be made of different materials, for example plastic film or paper. A combination of several materials would also be conceivable.
  • the shape and size of the bags can be adapted to the different foods to be packaged.
  • the storage area for the bags can be arranged so that it is freely accessible above the shaft.
  • the bag opener can, for example, have a blower that inflates the bag so that the cut slices or the complete package of slices can be inserted into the bag.
  • the bag to be opened can have a stiffened edge area.
  • This stiffened edge area can lie on top of one another in the manner of a flat parallelogram when the bag is closed.
  • the bag opener this stiffened edge area can be opened so that the cut slices or the complete package of slices can be pushed into the bag.
  • the bag opener does not necessarily have to have a blower to inflate the bag.
  • the bag opener could, for example, have a gripping element or a suction element with which part of the edge area can be lifted in order to open the bag. Such a suction element could lift the stiffened edge area safely and gently.
  • the bag is not damaged in the process and as soon as the negative pressure of the suction element is released, the bag can be easily removed from the cutting machine.
  • the bag opener could, for example, have a folding element or a sliding element with which the side parts of the stiffened edge area could be raised.
  • the stiffened edge area of the bag can also be held by a holding element in the area of the shaft floor and thus fixed in position from the underside.
  • the stiffened edge area of the bag can preferably be made of cardboard or a material containing cardboard.
  • the stiffened edge area of the bag can be connected to the rest of the bag via a predetermined breaking point. The stiffened edge area can thus be easily separated, which makes it easier to close the bag - for example by tying a knot.
  • the stiffened edge area of the bag can preferably have an approximately square cross-section when opened. This allows the largest possible opening to be formed when opened, so that the slice package can be pushed in without problems and does not get caught on the edge of the bag. At the same time, the stiffened edge area can form an extremely flat parallelogram when the bag is closed.
  • the bags can be stacked so well that which enables space-saving storage and economical transport.
  • the holding element in the area of the shaft base which serves to fix the lower bag base, can have, for example, a bracket or a clamp under which the stiffened edge area is pushed.
  • the stiffened edge area can be widened outwards in the area of the bag base and have a cantilever edge. This cantilever edge can then be pushed under the holding element.
  • the stiffened edge area is automatically pulled slightly backwards by the customer so that the cantilever edge is pulled away from under the holding element and the bag can be removed without difficulty.
  • the holding element in the area of the shaft base can have at least one suction element in order to fix the stiffened edge area in the area of the bag base.
  • the strand-shaped food is first placed in a slot in the cutting machine.
  • the strand-shaped food is then guided past the cutting blade in the feed direction and cut into a packet of slices.
  • the cut packet of slices is packed into a bag inside the cutting machine, whereby the cut slices are gradually pushed into the bag during the cutting process, so that a packet of slices is formed inside the bag.
  • the slot of the cutting machine can be designed to be approximately horizontal in front of the cutting blade and inclined after the cutting blade. The slot therefore has a kink.
  • the cutting machine according to the invention can be either a round knife machine or a gate cutting machine.
  • the cutting knife can be designed, for example, as a circular knife or as a sickle knife.
  • a gate cutting machine the cutting blade can be designed as a cutting gate.
  • the cutting machine according to the invention is designed as a circular knife machine with a circular knife.
  • the circular knife is coupled in the usual way to a knife drive, which ensures the rotation of the circular knife and its movement through the food to be cut.
  • the food to be cut is bread.
  • the housing of the cutting machine can usually be closed with a transparent flap. For safety reasons, the cutting process can only be started when the flap is closed.
  • the cutting machine according to the invention has a shaft 10.4, the longitudinal direction of which corresponds to the feed direction of the inserted food 12.
  • the shaft 10.4 is angled.
  • the first, right shaft area 14.4 is arranged approximately horizontally, while the second, left shaft area 16.4 runs diagonally downwards.
  • the two shaft areas 14.4, 16.4 are separated from each other by a slot 18.
  • the circular knife (not shown here) moves through this slot 18 so that the food 12 present in the area of the slot 18 is cut at this point.
  • a food slice 20 is then created to the left of this slot 18.
  • To cut the food 12 is pushed towards the slot 18 by a transport gripper 22.
  • the transport gripper 22 has several claws lying next to each other, which pierce the end of the food 12 from above during the cutting process.
  • a bag 30.4 is arranged in the feed direction immediately behind the slot 18 between the two shaft areas 14.4, 16.4.
  • the bag 30.4 is held open by a bag opener 86, which is only shown schematically here.
  • the disc holder 88 In the feed direction behind the bag 30.4 there is a disc holder 88.
  • the disc holder 88 is located at the beginning of the cutting process (see Fig. 1 ) near the slot 18, so that the bag 30.4 is compressed in its longitudinal extension by the disc holder 88.
  • the disc holder 88 is mounted so that it can be moved longitudinally and can be moved in the direction of the shaft end 90 by the food slices 20 gradually falling into the bag 30.4.
  • the bag 30.4 can gradually expand more and more (see Fig. 2 ), so that a complete disc package 24 can be formed within the bag 30.4.
