Description

  • The present invention relates to a loader assembly of long pasta with a vibrating descender.
  • Loader assemblies of long pasta placed after a production line of long pasta, following a conveyor able to direct the pasta therein, to be dosed and discharged in a packaging machine, are known.
  • Prior to being packaged, the pasta is to be suitably weighed so as to establish and control the amount provided for the packaging.
  • Loader assemblies in general are equipped with roughing and finishing channels into which dosing paddles are transversely inserted, each time defining the amount of pasta to send to the packaging machine.
  • A basket is located below the roughing channel and is provided with a weight meter for weighing the pasta contained in the basket itself. After the weighing, the weight meter emits an electronic signal corresponding to the weighing being complete, which suitably actuates an accurate dosing device associated with the finishing channel, to release a given amount of pasta. Such an amount is according to the weighing value acquired by the meter and is able to be added to the pasta dosed by the roughing channel so as to obtain the desired pasta dose which is to be sent to the packaging machine.
  • A loader assembly of the type described above is shown in EP-3142927 of the present applicant, wherein the long pasta, for example spaghetti, is introduced through a mouth into a roughing channel and into a finishing channel by oscillations due to a first vibrating device arranged on the upper part of the loader assembly.
  • The roughing channel is a descent channel useful for roughing the product and is connected to a second vibrating device to facilitate the descent of the pasta into the roughing channel. The finishing channel, with its accurate dosing device, is arranged adjacent to the roughing channel.
  • The subdivision, between the roughing channel and the finishing channel, of the long pasta incoming into the loader assembly takes place by taking advantage of a wedge-shaped upper end of an internal frame extending downwards with descending walls which form internal walls of the roughing channel and the finishing channel.
  • As mentioned above, the external wall of the roughing channel may oscillate by virtue of the second vibrating device, while the first vibrating device is placed upstream of said subdivision operation.
  • Disadvantageously, the wedge-shaped upper end, which is necessary for the subdivision of the long pasta, may generate misalignments of the long pasta or even stops, especially in the finishing channel.
  • Consequently, the packaging of the long pasta may be of poor quality (broken long pasta), undergo slowing down or even interruptions due to lengthy operations of freeing the long pasta in the roughing channel and/or in the finishing channel.
  • Italian Patent n. 1392947 describes vibrating descenders able to receive pasta from respective buckets of a bucket conveyor, in order to supply pasta doses to a weigher.
  • EP-2345330 describes a loader assembly with an inclined plane with movement means.
  • It is the object of the present invention to provide a loader assembly of long pasta comprising a vibrating descender which is provided with a roughing channel and a finishing channel, in which the descent of the long pasta is continuous and orderly in both channels.
  • It is a further object of the present invention that the vibrating descender allows a subdivision of the long pasta between the roughing channel and the finishing channel, while at least limiting the misalignment and breaking of the long pasta.
  • It is a further object again of the present invention for said vibrating descender to be integrable in a loader assembly provided with a dosing rotor downstream of the roughing channel.
  • According to the invention, said objects and further objects are achieved by a loader assembly of long pasta able to be placed after a production line of the long pasta, following a conveyor able to direct the long pasta into the loader assembly, in order for said long pasta to be dosed and discharged into a packaging machine, comprising a vibrating descender, a rotor suitable for pouring doses of long pasta, at least one weighing device for the long pasta, and at least one basket for accumulating the long pasta,
    characterized in that
    • the vibrating descender comprises an internal vibrating descender and an external vibrating descender,
    • wherein the internal vibrating descender comprises a vibrating device able to vibrate an internal frame of both a roughing channel and a finishing channel included in the vibrating descender, and
    • wherein the external vibrating descender comprises a vibrating device able to vibrate an external frame of both the roughing channel and the finishing channel.
  • Advantageously, the vibration of both the internal walls and the external walls allows a constant descent of the long pasta, without misalignments or stops which generate breaks in the long pasta and/or production stops.
  • The vibrating descender is functionally independent from the rotor, that is, it may be associated with known loader assemblies with a dosing rotor.

  • Preferably, the external walls 821, 822 have comb-like top ends 823 provided with through openings 824.
  • The comb-like top ends 823 develop vertically so as to allow a shutter 9 for the format change (Figures 6 and 9) to move between a first position in which the mouth 23 is open when the long pasta descends, and a second position in which the mouth 23 is closed, that is the long pasta may not descend along the vibrating descender 2.
