Description
- This application is a divisional application of and claims the benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/593,466, filed Jun. 14, 2000, which claims priority under the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property and/or the World Trade Organization to German patent application No. 19959432.5, filed Dec. 9, 1999.
- The invention relates to a method for producing ground meat patties of beef and/or pork.
- This type of device is already known in the art based on NL-A-9301248, the European patent EP 0 708 601 B1 and the European patent application EP 0 818 148 A1. The disadvantage found in these devices is that with the existing shaping plate having a maximum of six openings, the previous filling process and the system-related maximum number of 80 to 90 cycles per minute allows only a limited output of ground beef and/or pork patties. Accordingly, there is a need for further developing a device of the above mentioned type so as to permit a significant increase in the output.
- The problem is solved in accordance with the invention by means of a device having the characteristic features of the patent claims.
- Preferred characteristic features that advance the invention advantageously are also found in the patent claims.
- Based on the design of the device according to the invention, an advantageous increase in the output of at least 33% is achieved even with the previous 80 cycles per minute and at least 50% with 90 cycles per minute. Of course, the device is also capable of operating at higher rates with respectively higher increases in the output up to a system-dependent limit.
- The new shaping plate configuration having an uneven number of holes that are arranged offset in two rows, one behind the other, achieves a significant increase in capacity. Shaping plates having 7, 9 or 11 holes or having an even number of 8 or 10 holes are preferred. The arrangement is such that the number of holes in the row disposed in the direction of the shaping plate's ejecting position is lower by one than in the row behind or vice versa. The holes are “interlocked”, so to speak. The distance between the front row and the rear row being smaller than the constant diameter of the holes. The holes in the front row are preferably disposed so as to be centrally offset relative to those in the rear row.
- A further substantial measurement for the significant increase in the output is the configuration of a separate filling slot provided for each hole. The slot preferably has a right-angled cross section for shearing off the meat fiber whose lateral width is smaller than the width of the space between the holes of the adjacent row and whose length is smaller than the hole diameter. Said filling slots are disposed in a row and centrally adjusted to the holes and are preferably provided in a common receiver plate. With the above described filling slot arrangement, an ideal filling process is advantageously achieved in the filling position where the filling slots are covered by the holes when the shaping plate is moved out into the ejecting position.
- The bar that serves to reduce the excess pressure is disposed in the output area of the shaping station and has a continuous longitudinal slit over its entire length. It is disposed below the front end. A ventilation plate is disposed in the direction of the movement of the shaping plate. The ventilation plate itself is mounted stationary in the shaping station and has groove-shaped ventilation openings which run parallel to the shaping plate's moving direction and which are open on the side opposite the ejecting position.
- The ground meat is preferably supplied via a distribution chamber provided below the receiver plate. The chamber can be filled with at least two alternately operating filling cylinders whose filling chamber is opened and closed by means of a rotary slide valve.
- Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed disclosure, taken in conjunction with the accompanying sheets of drawings, wherein like numerals refer to like parts.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic lateral profile through an exemplary embodiment of a device of the invention in the filling position;
- FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1, but where the shaping plate is crossing the antilipbar so as to reduce the product pressure;
- FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 1, but where the shaping plate is in the ejecting position and the ejection device has been activated;
- FIG. 4 is a top view of a shaping plate with nine holes;
- FIG. 5 is a top view of a shaping plate with eleven holes;
- FIG. 6 is a schematic top view of the shaping plate moved out almost by half, where the rear half of the shaping plate has been cut away so as to show the receiver plate with the filling slots, and;
- FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the ventilation plate, the shaping plate with nine holes and a receiver plate imbedded in a bottom plate of the shaping station with filling slots and the pressure reducing bar.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic exemplary embodiment of a
device 10 of the invention disposed is a shaping position. Thedevice 10 comprises ashaping plate 11 shown in FIG. 1 in a filling position with respect to the shaping station and covered at the top by aventilation plate 12. Areceiver plate 13 is disposed below the shaping plate 11 (see FIGS. 2, 3, 6 and 7) where twoinserts 14, 15 (FIG. 6) with rectangularshaped filling slots 16 are located. - The
receiver plate 13 is disposed in a bottom plate in the shaping station. Below thereceiver plate 13 there is adistribution chamber 17 for the ground meat which can be connected with afilling chamber 19 via arotary slide valve 18. Thefilling chamber 19 is provided between a fillingcylinder 20 and therotary slide valve 18. - A
bar 21 reduces the excess pressure in the rows of shaped ground meat patties and has a continuouslongitudinal slit 21′ (FIGS. 6 and 7) for ventilation towards the outside, see FIG. 6. - Outside the
shaping station 11, above a shapingplate 11 ejecting position, there is anejection device 22 havingejection cups 23 whose position and quantity are coordinated with theholes 24 in theshaping plate 11. In FIG. 3, theejection device 22 has already stamped the shaped ground meat patties from theholes 24 in theshaping plate 11 in its pulled out position. The ground meat patties are simultaneously ejected and carried away by means of aconveyor belt 25 disposed underneath. - While FIG. 1 shows the
shaping plate 11 in the filling position, FIG. 2 shows theshaping plate 11 in a more drawn out position where the pressure of the product, i.e., the ground meat patties, is reduced when thebar 21 is crossed. FIG. 3 shows thedevice 10 in the ejecting position. A fixed-cycle method of control is provided, but not shown, for moving theshaping plate 11 back and forth, the filling process and the ejection process and, if applicable, the delivery process. - FIG. 4 shows a
shaping plate 11 with a total of nineholes 24, while FIG. 5 shows ashaping plate 11′ having elevenholes 24. Theholes 24 in theshaping plates holes 24 are disposed in rows “interlocked” in such a way that the holes in the front row (as seen in direction A) are centrally offset relative to those in the rear row. The distance “a” between the centers of the holes of the front and rear rows is smaller than the diameter “d” of theholes 24, which remains constant in all holes in theshaping plates - The above mentioned offset between the holes is selected so as to offset the
holes 24 in the front row with regard to the holes in the rear row by half of the hole center distance “b”. - FIG. 6 shows a top view of a
shaping plate 11 according to FIG. 4, which includes nineholes 24. The shaping plate has been moved out of the shaping station by approximately half of a total moveable distance, wherein thefilling slots 16 are covered by the shaping plate 11 (part ofplate 11 is cut away for purposes of illustration) andholes 24 are just crossing the continuouslongitudinal slit 21′ in the pressure-reducingbar 21 so as to reduce the pressure. - Instead of the
filling slots 16 having a configuration with a laterally oriented rectangular profile, said rectangular profile may also be oriented in longitudinal direction. This applies particularly when a shaping plate with eleven holes is used so as to adequately cover the holes by means of the spaces remaining between the rows of holes. - For further illustration, FIG. 7 shows an exploded view of the
ventilation plate 12, theshaping plate 11, thereceiver plate 13 withfilling slots 16 and thepressure reducing bar 21. Theventilation plate 12 has afront end 26 andlateral sections ventilator plate 12,longitudinal grooves 29 are provided which are open at the rear, i.e., on the sideopposite section 26. Alternatively, one or more recesses may be provided. - The pressure-reducing
bar 21 is mounted in asuitable recess 30 formed at the front end of the receiver plate as seen in the exiting direction of the shapingplate 11. As illustrated by FIGS. 2 and 3, thefront section 26 and the pressure-reducingbar 21 are disposed so as to be flush. - With an operation of 80 cycles per minute, for example, a nine-hole shaping plate achieves an increase in the output of more than 33% as compared to the previous shaping plates having one row of holes. With 90 cycles the increase in the output is at least 50%.
- While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but on the contrary is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the claims. It is thus to be understood that modifications and variations in the present invention may be made without departing from the novel aspects of this invention as defined in the claims, and that this application is to be limited only by the scope of the claims.
