Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Formgebung und Portionierung eines weichen, pastösen Produkts innerhalb einer schlauchförmigen Umhüllung aus Folienmaterial gemäß dem Oberbegriff der unabhängigen Patentansprüche.The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for Shaping and portioning a soft, pasty product within a tubular envelope made of foil material according to the preamble of the independent claims.
Derartige Verfahren und Vorrichtungen sind beispielsweise im Bereich der Lebensmitteltechnologie zur Portionierung von Käse in scheibenartiger, plattenförmigen Form bekannt. Die auf den gleichen Anmelder zurückgehende DE 195 01 106 A1 zeigt ein derartiges Verfahren und die zugehörige Vorrichtung. Hierbei wird das mit einer Umhüllung versehene Produkt zwischen zwei Formgebungselementen, die bevorzugt als umlaufende Riemen mit Stegen ausgebildet sind, geformt und in einzelne Scheiben portioniert. Hierbei wird jedoch das Produkt in kaltem, relativ festem Zustand portioniert.Such methods and devices are for example in Area of food technology for portioning cheese known in disk-like, plate-like form. The on the DE 195 01 106 A1 going back to the same applicant shows a such a method and the associated device. in this connection the wrapped product is between two Shaping elements, which are preferred as circumferential straps Bridges are formed, shaped and into individual slices portioned. Here, however, the product is cold, relative portioned solid state.
Aus dem Stand der Technik ist dazu die DE 22 59 121 (Butter) zu entnehmen. Sie beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eingewickelter oder verpackter Nahrungsmittel und eine Vorrichtung zur Ausübung des Verfahrens. Die DE 2 259 121 offenbart eine Anordnung, bei der der Abstand der Walzen zueinander einstellbar ist. Es handelt sich hierbei jedoch um freilaufende Walzen, so dass der gegenseitige Abstand zwischen den Pressrollen einstellbar ausgebildet ist. Diese Rollen sind jedoch nicht angetrieben, wodurch sich Faltenbildungen in der Folie ergeben. Eine Portionierung der Masse ist damit auf Grund einer unpräzisen Einstellmöglichkeit nur in ungenügendem Maße möglich.For this purpose, DE 22 59 121 (butter) is known from the prior art remove. It describes a manufacturing process wrapped or packaged food and one Device for performing the method. DE 2 259 121 discloses an arrangement in which the spacing of the rollers is adjustable to each other. However, this is about free-running rollers, so that the mutual distance between the press rollers is adjustable. These roles are but not driven, which causes wrinkles in the Result in foil. A portioning of the mass is therefore due an imprecise setting option is insufficient possible.
Aus der DE 38 41 945 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Formgebung zum Verpacken eines weichen Produktes bekannt geworden, wobei auch hier das umhüllte Produkt zwischen zwei mit Klemmorganen versehenen Riemen geführt wird, und dadurch in seine beabsichtigte Form gebracht wird. Da hierbei das Produkt in ziemlich flüssigem Zustand verarbeitet wird, ist es schwierig, für jede Käsescheibe ein bestimmtes Gewicht einzuhalten. Daher verlaufen hier die einander zugewandten Riemen zwischen zwei parallelen glatten Platten, deren Abstand voneinander veränderbar ist. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, das Volumen der in der Umhüllung zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Klemmorganen gebildeten Portionen zu verändern. Nachteilig ist hierbei jedoch die relativ aufwendige Konstruktion, da innerhalb der umlaufenden Riemenantriebe die einstellbare Plattenanordnung vorgesehen werden muß. Die Riemen gleiten fortwährend entlang der Platten, so daß mit einem hohen Riemenverschleiß gerechnet werden muß.DE 38 41 945 A1 describes a shaping device for Packaging a soft product has become known, too here the wrapped product between two with clamping elements provided belt, and thereby in his intended form is brought. Because here the product in fairly fluid state is processed, it is difficult maintain a certain weight for each slice of cheese. Therefore here the straps facing each other run between two parallel smooth plates, their distance from each other is changeable. In this way it is possible to change the volume the one in the envelope between successive clamping members to change the portions formed. The disadvantage here is however, the relatively complex construction, since within the rotating belt drives the adjustable plate arrangement must be provided. The straps keep sliding along the Plates, so that high belt wear is expected must become.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Formgebung und Portionierung eines weichen, pastösen Produktes vorzuschlagen, bei dem jederzeit die Menge bzw. das Volumen des der Formgebungs- und Portionierungsstation zugeführten Produktes einstellbar ist.The present invention is therefore based on the object based on a method and a device for shaping and portioning a soft, pasty product to propose the quantity or volume at any time the fed to the shaping and portioning station Product is adjustable.

Die Dosierstation besteht vorteilhaft aus zwei in einem gegenseitigen Abstand voneinander achsparallel angeordneten, drehbaren Walzen, zwischen welchen das zu dosierende, umhüllte Produkt hindurchgeführt wird.The dosing station advantageously consists of two in one mutual distance from each other arranged axially parallel, rotatable rollers, between which the dosing wrapped product is passed through.
Durch einfaches Ändern des gegenseitigen Abstandes der beiden Walzen, läßt sich die Dicke und damit die Menge bzw. das Volumen des durchlaufenden Produktes einstellen. Vorteilhaft wird dabei nur eine Walze verstellbar ausgebildet, in dem die Achse der Walze auf einem Exzenter gelagert ist oder die Achse der Walze und damit die Walze selbst linear bezüglich der anderen Walze einstellbar ist.By simply changing the distance between the two Rolling can be the thickness and thus the amount or Set the volume of the product passing through. Advantageous only one roller is adjustable, in which the Axis of the roller is mounted on an eccentric or the Axis of the roller and thus the roller itself linear with respect to the other roller is adjustable.
Die Walzen drehen sich gegenläufig .Beide Walzen sind gegenläufig angetrieben, wobei der Antrieb mit derselben Geschwindigkeit erfolgt, wie der Riemenantrieb der Formgebungs- und Portionierungsstation.The rollers turn in opposite directions Both rolls are driven in opposite directions, the drive with the same Speed is like the belt drive of the Forming and portioning station.
Die Walzen sind vorzugsweise einseitig gelagert und bestehen aus Edelstahl oder einem anderen Material, das den hygienischen Anforderungen in der Lebensmitteltechnologie genügt.The rollers are preferably supported on one side and exist made of stainless steel or another material that the hygienic requirements in food technology enough.
