Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and Device for shaping a viscous mass within a flexible wrapping.
  • the mass to be molded is first divided into one flexible wrapping introduced.
  • the mass should then in brought essentially disc-like, plate-like shape be, this is done by a displacement of the Mass occurs at certain points in the envelope, so that the top and bottom of the wrapper directly together Have contact. Then at these portioning points usually made a fixation of the envelope, so that the crowd is no longer in its original, can reshape the continuous shape.
  • the mass can either still be relatively warm be deformed due to the elevated temperature a relatively good fluidity and correspondingly low Has toughness.
  • the deformation can thus be relative can be done easily. This is problematic however, that the fixation must take place relatively quickly, since the mass is caused by external influences, e.g. the influence of gravity, again at the portioning points flows back.
  • Another problem is that the Overall mass is not yet cured and therefore usually changes in shape when cooling. This leads to optically unsightly shapes, as a rule no continuous material thickness is achieved, which is too Problems with transport and packaging leads.
  • a second possibility is to deform the mass in relatively cold condition, e.g. in DE 42 04 396 is described.
  • the toughness of the material correspondingly larger, so that larger forces for deformation must be applied.
  • relatively high restoring forces in the material due to the high toughness, relatively high restoring forces in the material.
  • both systems use a feed system applied, in which the mass together with its wrapping in a feed direction by a corresponding portioning and fixation device is promoted.
  • the object of the present invention is a reliable To achieve deformation in a cold forming process. This can make both better and more reliable Shaping as well as a higher portioning speed can be achieved.
  • the covering is usually fixed by a sealing process using a relatively high Temperature is reached.
  • a relatively high Temperature can, however, in a first sealing process the intended sealing rollers no longer remain at the portioning points.
  • a relatively high temperature cannot be applied be otherwise the wrapping on their melt each outer surface or would burn while the inside surface was still is relatively cold. For this reason can also be provided be the direct force on the wrapping to heat exercising elements. That way both simultaneously the mass from the range of Portioning points displaced as well as the wrapping these places warmed.
  • the device according to the invention has two shaping elements on between which the crowd with its flexible Wrapping is performed.
  • the shaping elements are with periodically changing forces.
  • the straps be in a suitable range, preferably in the middle between the guide rollers of the belts, acted upon.
  • the application can either by rollers, rollers, plungers, hydraulic elements or the like.
  • the force is applied so that the shaping elements initially a relatively small and at least force acting partially against the feed direction experienced, which is directed to the mass to be molded.
  • Mass to be molded away from the portioning point repressed.
  • Displacement process becomes an increasing proportion of the acting forces perpendicular to the feed direction initiated. So find one at the same time Squeezing the mass out of the range Portioning points and a displacement against the Feed direction instead.
  • the absolute amount of the acting forces can be stay the same or change, especially increase.
  • the bridges themselves are preferably not without transition perpendicular from the Belt surface attached protruding, but point Side slopes. So there is no abrupt displacement of the mass from the Portioning points, but rather the mass can tapering towards the portioning points remain. Also through this special shape the total restoring forces that occur are reduced.
  • the straps have nubs or a on the inside similarly suitable guide device for driving and Funding on.
  • the webs are designed to be heatable.
  • the webs themselves are either made of metal, optionally with a suitable coating, or metal bars are embedded in the belt material.
  • a suitable one for the metal elements attached Heating device e.g. an induction element.
  • the webs are heated so that in the portioning area not only the crowd is displaced, but at the same time the wrapping experiences a certain warming.
  • Fixation unit is no longer necessary the envelope completely from a relatively low Bring temperature to fixation temperature, but the Envelope already has an elevated temperature. This can ensure a reliable fixation at relative can be achieved with little effort.
  • two belts 1, 2 are used as displacement elements provided, each in the arrow directions 12, 13 circulate and are guided by rollers 3,4. This happens by means of teeth 5 on the inside of the Belts 1,2 are attached.
  • the roles 3, 4 are accordingly for receiving the teeth 5 and for driving the Belt 1, 2 formed.
  • the straps are on the outside 1,2 provided with a plurality of webs 6, 6 in each web one or more rods 16 are attached.
  • the straps 1, 2 are synchronized so that the webs 6 of the two belts are opposite, as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the entire system is preferably designed so that the shaping mass in the feed direction 7 vertically downwards is transported.
  • the shaping mass in the feed direction 7 vertically downwards is transported.
  • roller pairs 8.8a, 9.9a, 10.10a provided that also on its circumference with teeth 17th are provided ( Figure 2,3).
  • the material to be molded and portioned is now together with its wrapping from above in the direction of the arrow 7 inserted into the funnel between the straps 1,2. It is transported by the belts in the direction of the arrow 7 until it is approximately in the area of the first pair of rollers 8,8a reached.
  • roller pairs 8,8a, 9,9a, 10,10a there is now one Force action in the direction of arrows 14, 15 and in the opposite direction to the conveying direction 7. This is done in that the rollers of the roller pairs 8,8a, 9,9a, 10,10a according to figures 2,3 are provided with inserts 18 between the associated teeth 17 are attached. These missions can be pinched, welded or in another be appropriately attached.
  • the height of the inserts 18 is now chosen so that either already a complete compression of the webs 6 in Area of the roller pairs, or as in the first Roller pair 8.8a ( Figure 2) still some leeway between the Webs 6 of the belt 1, 2 remain.
  • the force effect in the The directions of arrows 14, 15 in FIG. 1 are clearer Way from that through the inserts 18 the distance between the rollers of a pair of rollers 8.8a, 9.9a, 10.10a is reduced and thus those in between Belt including the cheese mass and packaging be squeezed together.
  • the walking back effect counter to the direction of arrow 7 results from the fact that once the inserts 18 engage the belts 1, 2 arrive, this intervention still in Figure 1 above the The center of the rollers 8.8a.
  • roller pairs 9, 9a, 10, 10a, more inserts 18 being provided here than with the first pair of rollers 8.8a.
  • first roller pair 8,8a only a pre-deformation can be brought about, the opposite webs 6 the belt 1 does not yet collide with one another, but one more at these portioning points certain residual cheese mass can remain.
  • the final Displacement then takes place by means of the roller pairs 9, 9a, 10.10a.
  • roller pairs 8, 8a, 9.9a, 10.10a in the direction of the arrow 14.15 and in the direction of the arrow 7 and adjustable in the opposite direction are. It is also easy to replace Roll pairs provided.
  • Figure 4 shows an enlarged view through the Cross section of a belt 1 or 2.
  • the rods are clear 16 can be seen, which are arranged in the region of the web 6 and extend transversely to the longitudinal direction of the belt 1,2.
  • each strap is made 1, 2 from an upper material 19 and a lower material 20, provided with teeth 5 and corresponding recesses is.
  • Belt 1,2 in one piece from a continuous to produce homogeneous material.
  • the web 6 is also different here the state of the art not perpendicular from the surface 23 of the belt 1,2 outstanding, but points first a paragraph 21 on which there is an inclined surface 22 connects, which in turn in the area 23, which in the runs essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the belt, transforms.
  • the present invention thus becomes a reliable one Deformation reached during a cold forming process.
