FR2466196A1 - Machine to mix and divide dough etc. - combines mixer, dividing depositor and conveying system in single safety housing - Google Patents

Abstract

A machine for mixing and kneading dough etc. which is then deposited as small lumps of predetermined vol., e.g. for making loaves of bread. The machine pref. comprises a cavitied, depositing roll which is fitted underneath and gravity-fed by the dough mixer. The depositing roll pref. delivers on to a discharge conveyor. The machine is pref. totally enclosed in safety guards, only the delivery end of the discharge conveyor projecting from the casing. Used for a combination of operations which include mixing/kneading a paste or dough, separating lumps of predetermined vol. and delivering these lumps individually for further processing partic. for dough mixing and dividing in bakeries. The combination of these operations within a single casing eliminates manual transfer operations and reduces the danger of accidents to operators.

Description

à) - MIXER, WEIGHER, DISPENSER.b) - The present INVENTION concerns all mixers and mixers
with the advantage of emptying without manual intervention, and
in this emptying of a regular weighing of the chosen quantities
sies, and the disposal of these small quantities extracted.

c) - Currently there are no identical machines ....

1) Kneaders and kneaders known are not whole
closed ...

2) -They don't empty ONLY, the baker or the person
nel of service must empty the tank by hand, in large
quantities ... to another machine called a divider or
weighing machine (in bakeries ...).
operation to separate the dough.

3) -It is therefore necessary by hand to transport the dough to these ma
then take them back and place them in a
be machine or work table ....

THE INVENTION therefore performs a minimum of two functions
plus a significant gain in fatigue and manuten
tion.

OBSERVATION ... In some important bakeries,
there are complete tank tipping elevators
JUGS of dough, which remove everything at a height
important, to always empty the content at height ...

This process besides being costly presents indiscuta
danger of non-safety for the personnel of
service
The "IDANGE of the tank is done by preset quantities
born, from below the tank, is done with the distribution
without manual intervention.

The divider or weigher is replaced.
being fully closed, the service personnel are safe
of any accident, which does not exist with tra
additional.

Finally, the separate dough parts are ORIENTED where you want
by conveyor belt. This invention does three things well
ctions: MALAXAGF or KNITTING, WEIGHING at the chosen weight;
DISTRIBUTION of parts of dough or product ejects ....

e) -When the products or raw materials entering the com
position of the mixture arrive at the top of the machine by a
any process, the loading is done by the porthole 1 ,.

In the case of manual loading, cover 2 opens sideways
ally left or right, by cylinder 3 controlled by the
front lever 4 .The door or the cover replaced, the
service personnel can start the machine.

The mixer arm 5 is driven by the gear motor 6 to
at a variable or doubled speed, depending on the choice.
of the double mixer arm is studied, its inclination, so
not to break the p @@ e or the products to be mixed.
INOX lower 7 also rotates via the
crown on which it is fixed 8 and of the gear motor 9
This part of the tank must rotate to ensure mixing
homogeneous dough or product. Its speed is very moderate and
has been calculated to facilitate mixing.

Note that the movable cover 2 is fixed TANCHE on
the upper part also fixes via a
IO seal and clamps 51 distributed on the for
THE CIRCUIT 12 is mounted on a joint on the frame, the
rotating ties, mixing arm 5 and gear motor 9 are
also fixed on a waterproof case.

After a mixing time pre-selected by timer, the air
tablet is sent in 7. Always according to pre-selection
tion, the rotating movements stop.

The lower dough mass separation device or
product goes into action The shutter 13 leaves the tab pushed
by the pressure coming into contact with the rotating cylinder, 14 *
This one fills its fingerprint (s) according to the
chosen weight.A very simple air blow device
awarded, ejects the content of one or more fingerprints on the carpet in
15.This leads and directs the interior of the
machine the skins thus separated.

It should be noted that a cylinder is provided for each type of boss.
which one wants to manufacture. The interchangeability of the cylinders has
studied for the change operation to be carried out in
a very short time. When all work with the machine has stopped, just open the cover to proceed with the operation.
Please note that a safety device rmpe
when the machine is turned when the cover is open.

Of course a small gear motor drives the cylinder 14
and the belt 15, the latter turning a little faster in speed
linear as 14 - to avoid any delay in the distribution f) - This MACHINE object of the invention can be used
not only i> ANS craft or industrial bakehouses,
but also in laboratories, in various industries
who need to mix, separate in small quantities
and distribute similar products in consistency and
density similar to bread dough, briche, croissant etc ...

Claims (4)

R E V E N D I C A T I O NS 1) - MACHINE allowing to knead or knead in mass then to pe serve and distribute the dough thus produced in small batches.

2) -Characterized by operation in an entire assembly CLOSED, streamlined, without any risk for the personnel of  service. 3) -Characterized by the fact that it includes, in addition to its tower tank nante in two parts, an original and RELIABLE system by its  design, placed below, which performs the separation operation tion of the mass of the dough at the same time as the weighing naked. 4) -Characterized also by the fact that these separate parts  or patons, are shipped outside the machine without  no manual intervention, automatically.
