Pre-prepared stuffed fruits of prunes

The invention relates to pre-prepared stuffed fruits, the process of making them and preparation for carrying out the process.

Stuffed pea fruits are used to prepare a variety of dishes. known apricots filled with sugar, which are provided with a dough wrap to make apricot dumplings. Also other fruits of the peony, e.g. cherries, peaches or plums, like the aforementioned apricots, can be fitted with a filling to process them into special dishes. So far, in order to prepare the stuffed prunes, the fruits in question have been peeled and stuffed immediately before their use, and the pre-prepared stuffed prunes were immediately transformed into the dishes provided. The storage of boned and stuffed fruits is hardly a good thing, since the open fruits are colored in a short period of time and even spoil; similarly, the filling due to the water content of the fruits spreads relatively quickly, which should of course be avoided. This need for rapid further processing, as opposed to the household situation, reflects poorly in the industrial production of stuffed fruit of the kernels, and the fact that the size of the fruits offered by nature is relatively highly variable, as this may cause problems with the further processing of the stuffed fruit of the pomegranate into the dishes, such as apricot dumplings.

It is an object of the present invention to avoid the problems encountered so far in the manufacture and further processing of stuffed pomegranate fruits and to make available pomegranate stuffed fruits which can be easily machine-processed into various dishes.

According to the invention, pre-prepared stuffed fruits are characterized by the fact that the fruits of the two individual boneless halves of the fruit are pressed together and frozen after the filler has been inserted, the halves of the fruit being pressed together and frozen together, jointed along its peripheral edge. With this design, the goal as set out above can be well met. On the one hand, it is a good ability to store pre-prepared fruits, so that further processing is not tied to the time when the fruits are available or when they are peeled and stuffed, furthermore, we have to do - differently from freshly stuffed fruits - with permanent connection of the halves of the fruit, so that the fruit is further processed without any problems during further processing. they can be machine-machined and, in addition, given the opportunity to press fruits, whereby fruits can also be trimmed in a given case, given a standardized size and shape, so that further processing of such fruits can be significantly easier than was the case hitherto, with freshly stuffed fruit of the prunes.

The process according to the invention for making stuffed fruit of the pits is characterized in that the natural, boned, frozen halves of the pits whose hollow side is facing up, are placed on the first halves of the cavity forms, the hollow inside of which is also facing up, and in these halves of the pits. prior to or after the application, a filler is inserted to place further boned, frozen halves of the pellets, the hollow side of which is turned downwards, and then to each pair of the pellet halves on these half-baskets which are laid on said halves of the cavity forms and provided with a filler. , which are thus laid on top of each other, are compressed in cooperation with the respective first half of the cavity form by one second half of the cavity form, which is pressed against the first half of the cavity form, on which lies the respective two halves of the stone, with the edge regions of half baskets, which are half pressed into one another by cavity forms, on the bases of the freezing effect are mutually accepting. With this technological approach, we can achieve a time lag of the pruning operation from the filling intake operation, as well as a further significant advantage of not having to take care of the pruning halves to hold the fruit halves together, thus simplifying both the pruning and subsequent pruning operations. manipulation of the peeled fruit material, and even with frozen halibut halves which are frozen in the frozen state, is very easy to work with. When the hollow halves lying so that their hollow inside faces upwards, the filler is introduced, and then the further frozen frozen halves of the fruit are laid on the fruit-coated halves, and the surface of the fruit halves is slightly affected by the heat of the environment. In the present case, it is further supported if the workpiece is held in the workpiece for a little longer or if it is heated by warm air, radiation, etc., thus producing a moisture film by compressing both halves of the pellets surrounding the fill with the help of the still available cold in the halibut halves, freezes again, creating a particularly good bond between the halibut halves and the other. The compressive effect that occurs when the fruit halves are pressed against one another at their edges can support the surface deposition operation and subsequent freezing. By the invention, we get half-bones, which can be worked very well and can be further processed immediately after compression. According to a further advantageous design of the process, it is envisaged that the formation (assembly) resulting from the compression of the previously frozen halibut and filler halves will be frozen again after compression. In this way, we are offered the advantage of not only achieving substantially independent processing of the fruit of the prunes from the moment when the prunes are removed, but also a substantial independence from the moment when the prunes are combined with the filler, except that we are not dependent on time With the widely available refrigerated transport options, we can also spatially diversify individual production processes - from when natural fruits emerge to when they are processed into food, certainly for consumption.

In the process according to the invention, the pressing operation can, to some extent, even offset the dimensional differences of the halibut halves, which are always caused by the dimensional differences of the fruits. However, in order to ensure, in the case of larger dimensional oscillations of the starting material, essentially the same dimensions as the stuffed stone fruit produced, the invention preferably provides an embodiment of the method, characterized in that half cavity forms are used which have at the edge of their notches forming molds having dimensions smaller than the diameter of the half-bones, whereby the material of the bony is thereby removed by compressing and / or cutting the material excess in accordance with the edge of the half-hollow forms. In this embodiment of the process of the invention, the removal of a small material surplus ensures that the size of the finished product is constant. In this regard, it is preferable, as regards the course of the process and also to obtain a product so assembled as to be well-behaved and to look beautiful, if the latter-mentioned embodiment of the process according to the invention provides for the use of halves of a cavity form which, at its edge, others fit.

The device according to the invention for carrying out the above-mentioned process is characterized in that the device has a circulating conveyor device, on which more of the first halves of the cavity, which are at least partially in the circular path with their hollow side, are rotated in the direction of circulation. up, and that at least one compression device is provided at a particular location of the circular path where said first halves of the cavity form with their hollow side facing up, wherein the other halves of the cavity form are arranged above the movement line of said first halves of the cavity form , and the first halves of the cavity, just below the other halves of the cavity, pressed against each other so that the twin halves of the baskets lying on the first halves of the cavity form each other. With this preparation it is possible to produce rationally the production of stuffed fruits of the baskets, designed as mentioned above. A circulating conveyor may be designed e.g. in the form of a rotary table or also in the form of a conveyor belt. For the purpose of inserting frozen halibut and filler halves into the cavity halves, as well as for the extraction of the finely pressed fruit of the baskets, in addition to the above-mentioned structural work, suitable additional devices may be provided for the preparation and laying of the fruit halves and the filling and for the removal of the finely pressed fruit. we can perform these operations manually, which is feasible with relatively little work done. Many times, it is advantageous to have as little as possible transfer of heat from the first halves of the cavity to the half of the stone in the preparation which is designed, as stated above, and in this respect the preferred embodiment of the preparation according to the invention, characterized in that the first halves of the cavity form are, at least in part, is at least in the contact points of the half-baskets made of thermal insulation material. It is further advantageous that the surface of the halves of the cavity mold facing the workpiece is not of the material with which the workpiece would adhere, and therefore said surface is e.g. coated with a matching layer.

To perform both loading and recording operations of i.s. it is advantageous, both in the manual execution of these operations and in the mechanized execution of them, if, in the preparation according to the invention, it is envisaged that they are provided by projecting rods or similarly constructed enclosures surrounding the first halves of the cavity, and the first halves of the cavity form are equipped with automatic ejectors. With the help of such enclosures, one can facilitate the positioning of the baskets halves on the halves of the cavity preparation form, as well as the removal of the finely pressed fruits lifted by the automatic ejectors from the lower halves of the cavity molds; for this purpose, the clearance between the forks formed by the bars of the respective enclosures is chosen so that manual gripping or gripping devices can be inserted between these bars. Preference is given to the detachable construction of the enclosures, as it facilitates the removal of cut or skimmed fruit material when necessary.

The invention will now be further explained by reference to the drawings in which the examples are schematically presented.

In the drawings show FIG. 1 to 8 of each stage of the production of stuffed fruit of the baskets with the chosen embodiment of the process according to the invention, with parts of the cavity form, pieces of fruit and the filler being shown in each section, FIG. 9 and 10 show an embodiment of the apparatus provided for carrying out the process of the invention, wherein FIG. 9 shows the preparation in side view; FIG. 10 is a cross-section along the line Χ-Χ of FIG. 9.

In the drawings, FIG. 1 the first half 1 of the cavity form in the form of a semicircular shaped cutout 2 of the form and an ejector 3 which is axially movable in the direction of the arrow 4. From the upper edge 5 of the cutout 2 the projecting edge edge 6 whose inner diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the cutout 2 5. The edge surface 7 extends substantially radially from the upper edge 5 of the cutout 2 of the form to the edge ring 6.

Lay half of the 1 cavity shape as shown in the sketch of FIG. 2, naturally, boned, frozen half 8 of the stone, so that its hollow side 9 looks up, and in this way half of the stone of the stone before inserting it or afterwards inserting the fill 10, so that, as shown in FIG. 3, on the half of the cavity form 1, there is a filled, frozen half of the pits. On this half of the pellet 8 and the filler 10, a further boned, frozen half of the 11 pellets is then laid, the hollow side of which is turned down, as shown in FIG. 4. Then, in two ways, lower the half-blades 8, 11 of the pits as shown in FIG. 5, in the direction of arrow 13a, the second half 12 of the cavity form, which fits into the first half 1 of the cavity form. When the second half of the 12 cavity form, in its movement towards the first half 1 of the cavity form, hits half of the 11 pellets, as shown in FIG. 6, the two halves 8, 11 of the basket and the filler 10 between them, in cooperation with the two halves 1, 12, compress the cavity forms together. Then, as in FIG. 6 indicated by arrow 13b, the second half 12 of the cavity form is again lifted from the first half 1 of the cavity form and from the halves 8, 11 of the pebbles surrounding the fill 10, and moves upwards. The halves 8, 11 of the pellets encircling the fill 10 are now exposed upwards and lie in the cutout of the shape of the first half 1 of the cavity form, as shown in FIG. 7, and then the ejector 3 is moved upwards in the direction of the arrow 4, which from the half 1 of the cavity form, as shown in FIG. 8, picks up from the halves of the filler a molded formation (assembly), which is then a pre-prepared stuffed fruit of the 14th stone, which can be easily removed by hand or by machine.

From the insertion of the half 8 of the stone to the first half 1 of the cavity tool to the squeezing of both halves 8, 11 of the stone, it may take some time for the surface of the stone halves to settle, so that some slight moisture appears on the edge regions 15 and / or the surface of the material softens slightly. , as a result of which they are compressed internally in some way by compressing the pitted halves, leaving the moisture so covered to freeze the amount of cold still present in the pits, resulting in a particularly good adhesion to each other. halves of baskets.

As can be seen from the drawings of FIG. 2 to 5, we preferably use halves of 1.12 cavity molds having smaller shapes at the edge of their cutouts than the diameter of the bony halves, and thus, by squeezing and / or cutting, projecting portions of the bony halus halves in a simple manner pre-filled stuffed fruits of standard size are obtained. With respect to the operation of removing the projecting portions of the baskets halves, it is preferable to use halves of the cavity molds that fit on one another, as is the case with halves 1, 12 of the hollow molds represented in the drawings, in which the other half 12 cavity forms slightly sliding fit to the edge ring 6 of the first half 1 cavity form. In this way we get the beautifully cut fruit remains 17, which can be easily removed from the halves of the cavity.

The so-called stuffed fruits of the kernels can be taken directly for further processing after pressing. By freezing again after compression, the holding force of the bones of the kernel halves can be intensified, and the stuffed kernels produced in this way can, if desired, be deeply cooled for a longer period of time.

Half of the 1 cavity forms, at least in their marginal region, even better in the region of the entire cutout 2 forms, preferably consist of heat-insulating material. For this purpose the plastic is very suitable. Preferably, the material with which the fruit or the fruit mass hardly or does not adhere at all is selected.

Preferably, we foresee the first halves of 1 cavity molds 30 enclosing these halves 1 of the cavity molds, which are made of projecting rails 31. These rails whose spacing 32 between the rails 31 allow access to the halves of 1 cavity molds, make it easier to position the stone halves. and fillers, as well as the fruits of the baskets raised by the ejectors, protect them from accidentally turning sideways. The rails 30 are detachable or designed to be operated automatically by a device, e.g. the handle on the swing arm can be swiveled upwards, which is advantageous for removing fruit cuts and for cleaning halves and cavity forms. Such recording or lifting of the enclosures 30 is shown in FIG. 8 dashed.

We can also work without such enclosures if we position the half of the stone in the installation accurately. Inadvertent rolling away of the fruit of the baskets raised by the ejectors can also be avoided by extending the ejection surfaces of the ejectors 3, e.g. cup-like extended as dashed in Figs. 8.

The embodiment of the preparation presented in the drawings of FIG. 9 and 10, it has a circular conveyor device 18 which is designed in the form of a rotary table. In this conveyor device 18, two halves of the cavity forms as shown in FIG. 19 are arranged in two circular arrays, which are concentrically interconnected, in the direction of rotation 19 of each other. 1, with their hollow side facing up. In FIG. 9, for the sake of clarity, only two halves 1 of the cavity form are drawn. At a particular location 20 of the circular path of these halves of the cavity forms, a compression device 21 is provided, the drive of which can be effected e.g. in the form of a pneumatic working cylinder, and with this compression device 21, the other halves of the 12 cavity forms such as are presented e.g. in FIG. 5 and which are mounted on the carrier 22 so that they are movable up and down, pressed against the first halves 1 of the cavity forms just below the other halves 12 of the cavity forms located on the carrier 22. In the present case, two are mounted on the carrier two other halves of 12 cavity forms, each aligned with two pairs of halves 1 of cavity forms. The conveyor device 18 is provided with a stepper actuator 23, each step corresponding to movement according to the sequential spacing of a particular double pair of halves 1 of the cavity forms arranged on the rotary table. Such a stepper drive can work e.g. with a spinning wheel, which, driven by a pneumatic cylinder, turns into rotation. The ejectors of the 3 halves 1 of the cavity forms project through the corresponding openings into the rotary table of the transport conveyor 18 downwards, and behind the place 20, where the compression device 21 is mounted, in the direction of circulation, there is provided a plate 24 which extends from the bottom upwards in the circumferential direction. it neatly approaches the rotary table and which, while rotating the conveyor 18 after lifting operation, slowly ejects the ejectors and thereby compresses the stuffed fruits of the peony 14, which were formed by the compression device from the halves 1 of the cavity and filler halves. of cavity forms. These prunes fruits can then be easily extracted in the circumferential area 25 by hand or by means of an appropriately automatic preparation. The ejectors after the end of panel 24 again fall down and half of the 1 cavity forms are then available for refilling. You can then e.g. in the circumferential region 27, the frozen boned fruit halves are reloaded, in this next circumferential region 28 a filler is applied, and in the following circumferential zone 29, the further frozen halves of the pruner are laid, and then pressed in the region 20.
