Lines for the production of various food products are known from the prior art, for example, a molded food production line (RU 110604 U1, 11.27.2011), comprising a whipping machine, a dough mixing machine, a dough shrink machine, a steam convection oven, a cooling tunnel, a shrink packaging machine, a preparation of dried fruits, consisting of a universal washing machine, inspection conveyor and chopper located in the technological sequence, or a production line cakes (RU 130794 U1, 08/10/2013), including a dosing tank communicated with each other and installed in a technological sequence, a flour bunker, a self-weighing machine, a whipping machine, a storage tank, an aerator, a compressor pump, a dough dispenser, cake pan, an oven , empty mold conveyor, cooling vibratory conveyor, belt conveyor, glazing device, tempering machine, cooling cabinet, packaging machine, metal detector, table drum, semi-automatic wrapping machine, table, stretch machine, trolley, in front of the flour bunker a screener, a dispenser of bulk components, a tempering machine for butter, a turbomixer, and a homogenizer behind the whipping machine are additionally installed in series.

Thus, devices known from the prior art, including the above, are intended for one type of manufactured product.

The disadvantage of these devices is that the use of these devices is limited to only one type of food product, which is caused by the inability to quickly replace and install line modules, it is also impossible to use several lines operating as a single complex, due to the lack of unification of individual nodes of the complex, which is a consequence of the fact that individual modules do not have a single step and a single distance between the end removable mechanisms for forming food masses.

The technical result of the invention is the creation of an installation for the production of various food products, devoid of these drawbacks, by creating a universal installation for the production of food products, which is provided with the possibility of its quick and convenient readjustment and operation, at the same time it is possible to replace the line modules with places within the same food production line products, as well as between several lines, and compiling from them all kinds of combinations, which ensures maximum g ease of operation of the installation and expands the range of food products.

The specified technical result is achieved by creating an installation for the production of various food products, containing at least two lines for the production of food products, placed on a single base, equipped with means for transporting food products, in the sequence necessary to perform the technological process, food processing modules used at least for mixing liquid and medium viscosity food masses, molding medium viscosity masses, dosing masses of liquid t Pa, forming a solid mass viscosity level, cooling, drying, structuring food products, baking food products, enrobing food products. The food processing modules are configured to quickly remove, move along the guides of a single base, as well as to be connected to a single control tool controlled by a computer that recognizes modules at positions and synchronizes their movement, while food processing modules are also configured to synchronization of the work step, and the final removable mechanisms for forming and dosing food masses, for example nozzles for jigging food masses, nozzles for jet cutting of food howling mass spouts for dispensing food masses are arranged at the same distance, in coaction with the alignment mechanism formed food masses provides an exact match formed food mass from the subsequent positions of its processing.

According to a particular embodiment, the module for dispensing masses of liquid type has a piston mechanism for pumping food masses, the module for molding masses of medium viscosity has a mechanism for pumping food masses of a gear-roll type with jigging and string cutting, the module for molding masses of solid viscosity has a screw mechanism for pumping food masses with guillotine, diaphragm and string cutting.

According to a particular embodiment, the food processing modules are equipped with quick removal and moving means, which are made in the form of rollers mounted on bearings, made to move along the base rails and fixing the module on the handwheel rails.

According to another particular embodiment, the drives of the food processing modules are adapted to be connected to any type of drive.

According to another embodiment of a particular embodiment, the installation is equipped with a device for servicing a line of food products providing movement of individual modules.

According to another private embodiment, the installation is equipped with an automatic module washing system, which allows washing the modules without disassembling them.

The invention is illustrated in FIG. one.

FIG. 1 - a schematic representation of a universal complex for the production of food products (the diagram shows one of the layout options of the complex, which does not exhaust the possibility of the claimed line).

A universal installation (Fig. 1) may contain several lines for the production of food products, in this case, the diagram shows a particular embodiment of a complex with two lines for the production of food products, each of which may contain the following modules, it should be understood that the layout, the number and purpose of the modules can be any, depending on the process performed on the line, as well as on the food product received: the batch module in food masses of liquid and medium viscosity (1), module d For molding medium-viscosity masses (2), a module for dosing masses of liquid type (3), a module for molding masses of a solid viscosity level (4), a module for cooling, drying, structure formation of food products (5), a module for baking food products (6), a glazing module food products (7), a single base (8), a control tool (9), a device for servicing a food product line (10), an automatic washing of modules (11).

Means for quick removal and movement of the module in a particular embodiment of its implementation comprises a roller, a bearing and a handwheel.

The proposed installation works as follows. When using the installation for the first time or when switching to a new type of product, the food product lines are assembled with modules that are necessary for the performance of specified technological processes, it should be understood that each line can produce a separate type of product or the lines can carry out a single type production process products. The modules (1) - (7), necessary for the production of a specific type of product, are composed on a single basis (8) of each line, the sequence of placement of which depends on the selected product and the technological process. Modules (1) - (7) are connected to a single control tool (9), which is controlled by a computer that sets specific production parameters, while the module drives are configured to be connected to any type of drive. For food processing modules, when connected to a single control tool (9), a single synchronized operation step is set, which also recognizes modules at positions and synchronizes their movement. Each module for processing food products has final mechanisms for forming and dosing food masses that are removable and placed at the same distance, for example, for a module for molding medium-viscosity masses (2), these are nozzles for depositing food masses, for a module for dosing masses of liquid type ( 3) - these are nozzles for dosing food masses, for the module for forming masses of a solid viscosity level (4) - these are nozzles for string cutting of food mass. This embodiment of the final mechanisms of molding and dosing of the food masses ensures, in joint action with the alignment mechanism of the formed food masses, the exact match of the formed food mass with subsequent processing positions.

The mechanisms for injecting food masses of food processing modules can be performed as follows, although this embodiment is not the only possible one: the module for dispensing liquid masses has a piston mechanism for pumping food masses, the medium-viscosity mass forming module has a mechanism for pumping food masses of gear-roll type with jigging and string cutting, the module for molding masses of a solid viscosity level has a screw mechanism for pumping food masses with a guillotine, diaphragm and string cutting.

To remove and move the modules, if necessary, change the line, it is enough to use the quick removal and movement of the module, in particular, loosen the handwheels and either move the module (1) - (7) along the base rails by means of rollers mounted on bearings, or move the module using the device for servicing a food product line (10).

The inventive installation provides the convenience of washing, drying and disinfection of individual modules. Previously known installations were not equipped with replaceable modules and work items had to be washed directly on the installation, stopping it, which reduced productivity. In the specified device, the automatic washing of the modules (11) can simultaneously perform the storage functions of these modules. Thus, a clean module from the sink is moved and installed on the installation, while the module that needs to be processed is moved to the sink, where it is washed, dried and disinfected without disassembling it. At the same time, the minimum amount of time is spent on these actions and, accordingly, the performance of the whole line does not decrease.

Using the invention will avoid the risk of unclaimed products to which the owner of the food complex, focused on one product. When using only one declared universal installation for the production of food products, with a simple readjustment, it is possible to obtain, for example, products such as round glazed curd cakes with filling, curd cakes with cookies, custard cakes with filling, marshmallows with filling and jam cookies, profiteroles with various fillings, etc. It is also possible to issue a traditional, old assortment of the enterprise.
