Description
MÁQUINA DE CORTE SUPERFICIAL DE BARRAS DE PAN PAN BAR SURFACE CUTTING MACHINE
D E S C R I P C I Ó N OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN D E S C R I P C I O N OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se puede incluir en el campo técnico de las herramientas y máquinas que permiten el corte superficial de barras de pan de forma industrializada. The present invention can be included in the technical field of tools and machines that allow surface cutting of bread sticks in an industrialized manner.
Más concretamente se trata de una máquina que permite robotizar el corte superficial que hay que realizar en las barras de pan antes del proceso de cocción. More specifically, it is a machine that allows robotizing the superficial cut that must be made on the bread sticks before the cooking process.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Los cortes que se realizan en la superficie del pan antes del horneado, además de tener un fin decorativo, tienen un fin funcional. The cuts that are made on the surface of the bread before baking, in addition to having a decorative purpose, have a functional purpose.
El fin decorativo se debe a que dichos cortes proporcionan al pan la imagen definitiva del producto y por tanto lo hacen más apetecible para el consumidor. El fin funcional se debe a que permiten que el pan aumente de volumen y se expanda mientras se hornea sin que se rompa ni se cuartee en los costados ni en la base. The decorative purpose is due to the fact that these cuts provide the bread with the definitive image of the product and therefore make it more palatable to the consumer. The functional purpose is because they allow the bread to increase in volume and expand while baking without breaking or cracking on the sides or base.
Durante la cocción se produce una expansión del gas carbónico por efecto de la presión y del trabajo acelerado de la levadura. Cuando dicha expansión encuentra un punto débil por el que salir hacia el exterior se consigue favorecer la última fermentación dentro del horno y una correcta cocción del pan. Cuanto más profundos son los cortes más se abre el pan cuando se hornea y tendrá más corteza. During cooking there is an expansion of carbonic gas due to the pressure and accelerated work of the yeast. When said expansion finds a weak point through which to go outside it is possible to favor the last fermentation inside the oven and a correct baking of the bread. The deeper the cuts the more the bread opens when it is baked and will have more crust.
Actualmente los cortes se realizan de forma manual por lo que el conocimiento y la experiencia del panadero son fundamentales para conseguir un buen resultado. Cada operario formado y experimentado en este proceso obtiene un resultado diferente.
La herramienta que generalmente se emplea para realizar esta operación es una cuchilla de corte que comprende una hoja filosa para hacer cortes limpios y perfectos, aplicando una presión firme y decidida procurando que los cortes sean iguales en profundidad y longitud. Currently the cuts are made manually so that the knowledge and experience of the baker are essential to achieve a good result. Each operator trained and experienced in this process obtains a different result. The tool that is generally used to perform this operation is a cutting blade that comprises a sharp blade to make clean and perfect cuts, applying firm and determined pressure ensuring that the cuts are equal in depth and length.
En función de cada tipo y forma del pan y del panadero se hace un número de cortes distintos y con una trayectoria diferente. Depending on each type and shape of the bread and the baker, a number of different cuts are made and with a different trajectory.
El hecho de realizar los cortes de manera tradicional tiene una serie de inconvenientes que, si bien se tratan de forma que tengan la menor incidencia posible en el producto, no se consiguen eliminar sus efectos en la cadena productiva. Los principales problemas son la precisión y la poca repetibilidad del corte, la adaptación a las variaciones de la masa, la presencia de objetos extraños y la posible falta de higiene. The fact of making the cuts in a traditional way has a series of disadvantages that, although they are treated in such a way that they have the lowest possible impact on the product, they are not able to eliminate their effects in the production chain. The main problems are the precision and poor repeatability of the cut, the adaptation to the variations of the mass, the presence of foreign objects and the possible lack of hygiene.
La operación manual de corte no permite obtener precisión y repetibilidad y como consecuencia existe siempre una desviación respecto a la definición de corte para cada producto. Una persona no es capaz de realizar un corte, en un tiempo razonable, que se ajuste a la trayectoria definida de una barra y además como se ha comentado anteriormente cada operario ejecuta la operación de modo diferente a otro. Por lo tanto no se consigue un resultado óptimo para la cocción. Además también se producen desviaciones en la trayectoria del corte que afectan a la estética de la barra. Un operario tiene muchas dificultades para adaptarse a la variabilidad de la masa cuando ejecuta el corte. Una barra en un proceso productivo tiene una variación de forma importante que dificulta enormemente la operación de corte. Esto es inevitable ya que es propio de las características del producto. Por tanto, el operario debe adaptarse a las diferencias de posición, de tamaño y de forma. Estas dificultades no son superadas por el operario en una buena parte de la producción.The manual cutting operation does not allow obtaining accuracy and repeatability and as a consequence there is always a deviation from the definition of cut for each product. A person is not able to make a cut, in a reasonable time, that adjusts to the defined trajectory of a bar and in addition, as previously mentioned, each operator executes the operation differently from another. Therefore, an optimal cooking result is not achieved. In addition there are also deviations in the trajectory of the cut that affect the aesthetics of the bar. An operator has many difficulties to adapt to the variability of the dough when executing the cut. A bar in a production process has an important variation that greatly hinders the cutting operation. This is inevitable since it is characteristic of the product's characteristics. Therefore, the operator must adapt to differences in position, size and shape. These difficulties are not overcome by the operator in a good part of the production.
Aunque las medidas de prevención son rigurosas siguen siendo una tarea manual y por tanto sujeta a los errores, olvidos o despistes producidos por estado anímico de la persona. No se puede garantizar al 100% la ausencia de objetos extraños en el
pan. Aunque existen escáneres de objetos metálicos, cualquier otro objeto puede llegar a desprenderse de la indumentaria del operario. Although preventive measures are rigorous, they are still a manual task and therefore subject to errors, forgetfulness or delays caused by the person's mood. You cannot guarantee 100% the absence of foreign objects in the bread. Although there are scanners of metal objects, any other object can become detached from the operator's clothing.
Sin duda, la presencia de una persona en la operación de corte entraña riesgos de contaminación que no se pueden controlar totalmente, aunque gracias al proceso de cocción nunca tendrán incidencia alguna sobre la salud. Undoubtedly, the presence of a person in the cutting operation involves contamination risks that cannot be fully controlled, although thanks to the cooking process they will never have any impact on health.
