SU96462A1 - Device for cutting plastic confectionery masses - Google Patents

Description

The proposed device is intended for cutting layers of plastic confectionery mass, such as toffee mass, into separate squares, made in the form of a table, making a reciprocating motion, over which the shaft is mounted with disc knives assembled on it and separated by dimensional washers.

The advantage of the proposed device in comparison with the known ones is that it allows, when cutting the plastic confectionery mass, to maintain a constant arrangement of individual squares (candies) on the plate and, consequently, to improve product quality and reduce waste.

The feature of the proposed device is. that clamping endless chains are installed between the disk knives, which, when the humushes made stars, are set in motion with a speed corresponding to the speed of the table. On the table, performing a reciprocating motion, a rotary platform is installed, for turning it by 90 ° a Maltese cross is applied.

The drawing shows a diagram of the proposed device. Above the table / reciprocating movement in a horizontal plane, a shaft 2 is mounted on which circular knives 3 are assembled, separated by measuring washers 4. The reciprocating movement of the table / is carried out through gear 5 coupled to the comb 6 attached to the table . The table / table is provided with a rotary platform 7 for laying layers of plastic confectionery mass on it. The rotation of platform 7 by 90 ° is carried out by the mechanism of the Maltese cross 8.

To hold the mass and squares, such as toffee, on the turntable when cutting in between the disc blades 3, clamping endless chains 9 are installed, driven by means of 10, 11, 12, and 13 stars assembled on shafts 14. On each of

shafts 10, and, 12, and 13 each have thirty sprockets 14. The pressure endless chains 9 move at a speed corresponding to the movement of the table 1. The device is driven from the engine 15 through 16 and 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 gears, 23, 24, 25 and 26. The rotation of the gear 5 is transmitted through the sprockets 27 and 28. The lever 29 is intended to activate the table /, the lever 30 and the gears 31 and 32 to switch the direction of movement of the table /, the lever 33 to switch the rotary. site 7.

For cutting into squares, for example, a toffee mass, a layer of mass is placed on a fiber sheet, which is placed on the turntable 7. The device is activated, and the layer of mass, after passing the table 1 under the disc blades and cutting into strips, is rotated using a Maltese cross 90 ° and brings the strips under the circular knives to cut them into squares.

Claims (2)

1. A device for cutting plastic confectionery masses, for example toffee mass, into individual squares, made in the form of a table, reciprocating, which has a shaft with circular knives mounted on it and delimited dimensional washers, characterized in that in order to keep the mass on the table and keep the squares in place, cutting the mass between the circular knives has been established; s clamping endless chains set in motion by sprockets on the shafts orostyu corresponding movement of the table velocity. 2. The device according to claim 1, of which there is a rotary platform on the table, performing reciprocating motion, for laying layers of mass on it, and for turning it through 90 ° , in order to cross-section the resulting mass bands after passing the table under the circular knives, the Maltese cross mechanism was used.
