Description

Be used to make the application of food or the half-finished die casting compounding of food machine and be used to make food or the half-finished equipment of food
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of application and a kind of equipment as described in the preamble that is used to make food or the half-finished die casting compounding of food machine according to claim 24.
Background technology
Said food semi-finished product generally are meant the intermediate products that also need continue to be processed into the ultimate food product.
According to its present application, said die casting compounding machine comprises: at least one extruder, and this extruder is mixed the unit thoroughly as mixing; A metering units; Particularly one is injected the unit, and said injection unit is connected with extruder and the material of the even matter that obtains mixing from extruder; And a closed cell, being provided with therein and maybe at least one mould can being set, the homogeneous materials that wherein mixes is by injecting one or more die cavities that the unit is transferred to mould.
Up to now, adopt die casting compounding machine can only produce plastic mould.Wherein raw materials for plastics production are defeated by extruder and in extruder, shear and change plastic melt into introducing heat, can continue this melt of processing through injection molding technology then through applying.Yet extruder not only is used for fusing, but in the process of making plastic products, also has been used for additional material mixing to raw materials for plastics production (being compounding).Can add other filler of other plastic material, dyestuff additive, fibrous additive such as glass fibre or natural fiber and all kinds at this.Materials that these are additional are because the extruder mixed characteristic of the biaxial extruder of operation and be processed into plastic composite equably in the same way particularly obtains the melt material or the melt material of even matter like this.Typically, these plastic melt materials of the processing of the temperature range between 150-380 ℃ (for example process low density polyethylene (LDPE) (LDPE) and in high temperature range, process PEEK) in low temperature range.
After the plastic melt manufacturing, just be transferred to one and inject the unit from extruder, be also referred to as injection jar (shot-pot) usually.This material blends is from injecting the unit injects mould under the effect of high pressure die cavity, and said die cavity is contained in the closed cell.Said thermoplastic through hardening by cooling, makes it next can be removed with solid-state form in mould.
Compare with the processing of plastic material, a diverse field is a field of food, wherein is the processing of the mankind or animal and manufacturing food or food semi-finished product.Make on food or the food semi-finished product at large-scale machine technology; Corresponding food material is processed to the pastel (Masse) of even matter or the filler of even matter usually according to a prescription in a mixer or mixer, then with these materials one separately with the procedure of processing of separating in processing change into product or semi-finished product.Known up to now, also a kind of mixer can be set, this mixer is discharged the material that is used for product continuously, and the material that is discharged from then is transformed into finished product or semi-finished product through classification and reprocessing
Yet in some field of food, it is difficult that the manufacturing of required three-dimensional modeling food product is proved to be.Need to adopt mold pressing or casting mold mostly for this reason.Packing material in casting mold makes the sclerosis of this material and after sclerosis, has and the corresponding profile of mold.When adopting mold pressing, plunger is applied on the product that is in usually on the flat surface, to such an extent as to profile is impressed on the surface of product.Yet the back side of product all is designed to put down as a rule, causes can only constituting 360 ° design model by this way very poorly.
When making hollow chocolate product, also known like chocolate Santa Claus or chocolate easter bunny with hollow mould of basic material injection, then with this mould vibration and rotation.Said material is close on the mold wall and sclerosis with certain thickness.With just having formed corresponding product after the moulds open.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to, can be applied to field of food with the equipment that special mode is efficiently produced the mould of three-dimensional modeling.
Said purpose realizes through the described application of claim 1 and through the described equipment of claim 24.
The test shows of having carried out, for the known die casting compounding machine in plastics field also with unexpected effects applications in field of food, especially for the engraving formula, three-dimensional product.
In the application that is used for making food or the half-finished die casting compounding of food machine, can make full use of the maximum characteristics and the advantage of such equipment with optimized mode according to procedure of processing.
Extruder, particularly multiple screw extruder, preferred one homodromal biaxial extruder, it is not used further to the fusing of plastic composite at present, but is used to make material mixing and the homogeneity through the input block input.Wherein can select for example simple funnel, a metering device that is used for one or more materials, a packer or another mixer or mixer are as input block, as hereinafter also will be discussed.
Raw material or raw-material mixture can or flow to extruder via another material input point that is positioned at the feed zone downstream in feed zone.Extruder screw is constructed for this reason accordingly.Not only feeding port can be set in extruder.Also possibly form steam vent, thereby for example can reduce unwanted moisture as known in extruder technology through vacuum suction.
In the exit of extruder, the material of input exists with well-mixed form, material also preferred plasticity or paste.Can correspondingly add fluent material, emulsifying agent or other food additives for this reason.If raw material fully mix with even, just it is flowed to an injection unit periodically.This injection unit can be designed to injection jar that is piston cylinder unit.Inject the unit for this, can certainly use other version.
Be proved to be favourable and importantly, in field of food, in injection device, realize going into earlier/go out principle earlier; That is to say; Injection device is constructed, makes the material that injects earlier also can at first be transported in the die cavity, and after be input to injection device material also be input in the die cavity at last.
Significantly possibly be also, allow or allow control along injecting piston and leak (what continue washes away), thereby avoid material to be detained for a long time that delay possibly cause decomposing and the multiplying of bacterium along the material of intermediate storage portion.In this respect, the also preferred structure of selecting to be used to plastify processing and injection device, this device guarantees well cleaning possibility, for example with the possibility of cleaning agent flushing.In addition, single parts (also comprising cover plate) can be processed with high-quality steel or other non-corrosive material, and a kind of material stands severe tests with outstanding mode in field of food and is easy to cleaning.The importance of lay special stress on health in field of food.Whether clean significant.Based on this reason, importantly the parts of some are perhaps processed by rustless material with the high-quality steel.For single parts are provided with special cleaning position also is important, and extruder, injection device, mould and housing parts can well be cleaned in these positions.
Inject the unit and have following function, will be input in one or more die cavities of mould through the raw material that mix.Said for this reason material is injected into mould from injecting the unit via injector.Said mould can be designed to the multi-cavity instrument, makes it have a plurality of chambers.
It is desirable to, said mould or at least one mold halves are designed to adjustable temperature, thereby can heat and/or cool off with mode suitable or expection.To this, requiring does not usually have the processing of plastic melt so high.Current better simply cooling and temperature adjustment unit also possibly be enough.
Closed cell usually need be as in field of plastics processing, bearing pressure in field of food.Therefore closed cell can be designed to less size.In some cases also can be as using closed cell in the polyurethane process.Wherein, also possibly use the mould of automatic blocking according to preferred especially form of implementation, thereby possibly abandon closure frame fully.
Certainly maybe not need adopt the tool steel mfg. moulding die at field of food.For mould, also can adopt plastics.Therefore to be used to toast by domestic environments be known to silicon mould.
In addition, also can adopt the method for polyurethane manufacture field.Like this, said die casting compounding machine just can be integrated in circular table or the elliptical devices, and some moulds that are arranged in the closed cell rotate on station ground one by one in said circular table or elliptical devices.One of them station can be a heating cabinet or baking box, baked goods therein.Another station can be a cleaning device, cleaning die therein.In addition, a station can be realized with the form of pretreatment unit, for example can realize applying through this pretreatment unit, for example is coated with layers of syrup or adds material, for example fruit.Certainly it is also conceivable that other station such as take out device or the like.If adopt such circular table or elliptical devices; For example fill mould circularly, insert/inject food material then, heat-treat then and/or post-processed with packing material; Afterwards product is taken out and cleaning die, can restart circulation then.
Mould can be in corresponding operation uses in like baking box, makes to send into the baking that wherein material passes through certain hour.Improve capacity if desired, can in bake process, add mould more more or less.
After the stand-by period that requires, can open mould and take out product.
Can certainly have no difficulty ground will other known method be applied to field of food in die-casting technique, so that produce food or food semi-finished product.Extruder can and inject between the unit at extruder like this a storage device is set, even so that under the situation of the injection unit of discontinuous work, also can move continuously.Inject the implant operation process of unit, can supply material intermediate storage that extruder uses in this storage element and be transported to the injection unit subsequently once more.This storage element both can be arranged on extruder and inject between the unit, also can be integrated in the extruder.
Certainly multiple material different is conveyed in the die cavity continuously, thus can be according to product of type manufacturing of multicomponent injection moulding process with multilayer.So for example can form a kind of product with the exterior material of the first kind and the inside core of second type.
Also can implement a kind of water injection technique (WIT) or gas injection technique (GIT).In this case, the part fill up die cavity after, with a kind of material composition for example air be blown into, make material composition be extruded on the die cavity wall.So just can make the product such as the chocolate product of hollow at an easy rate.This product can relatively promptly be taken away from the polyplotype chamber after cool time.
Certainly replace injecting air and also can import a food liquid, said food liquid in the same way will before be pressed onto on the wall of die cavity by partially filled material in the die cavity.The product that to make is so then filled with corresponding liquid/pastel in inside, perhaps becomes hollow once more when taking away again when said liquid or pastel.
Replace gas or liquid, also can be when injection moulding according to the inside of known sandwich making method with first kind of composition of another kind of composition input.Second kind of composition also can adopt working media (for example yeast powder), makes the expansion molding of this product through working media.
If not a kind of material blends is flowed to extruder, but dough is flowed to extruder, this dough is filled in the funnel and can only be transferred to poor one, like this, a perhaps autofeed device of a packer can be set in this zone.This autofeed device can be designed to mix and transport too.Such device also is known by the prior art for plastic applications
Can certainly use for example known devices in plastics technology in closed side.Like this a returning face plate, a filled board or an index plate can be set between two fastening base plates of mould.Also turntable or travelling table can be set on fastening base plate in addition
A plurality of extruder and injection device or material conveying devices that lead to the die cavity of mould can certainly be arranged, make and to carry out multicomponent processing simply.In addition; It also is significant usually that one operating means is equipped on closed cell; This operating means for example was encased in insert the part of die cavity material is input to die cavity from injection molding unit before, and this die cavity loads with a mechanism or a product of processing is taken out from die cavity.Said insert for example can be that the parts of packing maybe will add the food in the product, for example a kind of fruit (for example kernel).
All limit in the dependent claims by application of the present invention and by method of the present invention.
