Description

"PARTICULAR FOOD SPLASHING DEVICE APPLIED IN COOKIES MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT".

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a new device pertaining to the field of food manufacturing equipment, particularly cookies, said device being especially developed for spreading particulate food into cookies evenly and in an appropriate amount, thereby solving the lack of a specific device for this function in cookie and food factories in general. TECHNICAL BACKGROUNDS

As is well known to the professionals involved in the manufacture of cookies in general, the factories have equipment for the manufacture of various cookies, which are provided means of application of inputs on cookies manufactured, type inputs, powders (flour, sugar, etc. .), in addition to granulated foods in general (chocolates, nuts, nuts and other food bran).

The equipment for the manufacture of biscuits foresees several phases, among which, the mixing of the dough in an appropriate mixer, after that, the dough goes through different presses so that it establishes a shape, or by rolling process, leaving the dough flat, linear. . Later, when the dough is already of the proper thickness, it is cut and stamped with various motifs on its surface, making them ready for baking.

As many types of cookies are coated with pellets, powders or crumbs, before baking, the cookies go through the coating phase, where a device is provided to spread these inputs on their surfaces.

Said devices are presented in the form of linear funnels which also perform the function of a silo, that is, store and release the inputs, said funnels being positioned transversely and above the conveyor belts, which are capable of directing granulated or powdered food on said cookies.

However, such conventional devices do not

allow the cookies to be standardized, that is, they do not have a means of uniform distribution of these particulate foods so that the cookies can have a uniformly spread surface and, in addition, the conventional linear funnels on which these particulate foods are deposited were developed to contain and distribute most of the powdered or granulated foods, less cheeses and other fragile and easily melted ingredients at room temperature, as they have peculiar physical characteristics and need constant movement in the silo, so that they do not suffer adhesions that may cause difficulties in the distribution of the input.

Because of the ingredients used to make cheeses and other more fragile and easily melt-at-room-temperature particulate foods and also because these cheeses and foods in general are high in fat, they do not constitute products suitable for depositing in Linear distribution funnels for application on the cookies, since they do not have the necessary fluidity to be spread on the surface of the cookies, compromising the uniformity of the distribution, and can cause clogging in the nozzle of the linear funnel. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With these drawbacks in mind, and keen to provide improvements in the manufacture of grated cheese crackers, the inventor, after extensive research, has created and developed this "PRIVATE FOOD SPLASHING DEVICE APPLIED" to position stand out in the biscuit food industry and customize itself from similar equipment by the fact that it features a device designed to sprinkle particulate foods into biscuits, which can be presented in various dimensions of granules, ie can be bran (nuts, nuts, etc.), powders (chocolates, flours, spices, etc.), grated cheeses or other, more fragile and easily melted ingredients at room temperature.

The device for spreading particulate foods allows for a uniform and adequate distribution of said food, said device consisting basically of silo having an internal mixer shaft, which is connected to a means of transport of said silo, which in turn In turn, it interconnects the means of distribution of the input in the cookies.

The silo sets up a warehouse where the

Particulate food is provided with a preferably horizontally positioned axis within it, which is provided with orthogonal paddles, which keep the particulate food always moving, preventing it from adhering and hindering its flow towards the surface of the cookies. For this step, an engine of adequate capacity is provided to keep the particulate food in a condition of being properly sprinkled.

Next to the silo particulate feed outlet nozzle is provided a preferably horizontally positioned shaft, powered by a second motor of adequate capacity and capable of controlling its speed, thereby defining the amount of feed used.

The horizontal axis is provided with endless thread and is capable of transporting the particulate food to an orthogonal rotor to the endless thread, which rotor is capable of spreading said particulate food over the surface of the conveyor belt biscuits of the equipment.

Each step of this device has a motor of specific capacity and capable of controlling the working speed in each step.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring to the illustrated drawings, the present invention "PARTICULAR FOOD SPLASHING DEVICE APPLIED TO COOKIE MANUFACTURING" refers more particularly to a device 1 developed for uniformly and adequately sprinkling particulate cookies in cookies. made of stainless steel or other material of equivalent characteristics.

Said device 1 is partially supported on a side table M positioned next to the conveyor belt E, which table M extends over said cookie conveyor belt E, said device 1 consisting basically of a food storage and mixer silo 2, provided with an internal mixer axis 3, a conveyor MT for particulate foods which interconnects said silo 2 and the food distribution module 4 in the cookies.

The silo 2 has two preferably horizontal internal axes 3 and 5, besides configuring a deposit where the particulate food is inserted, and a first axis 3 is superior and preferably positioned horizontally, with 6 orthogonal - thin blades, the which keep the food always moving, preventing it from sticking and hindering its flow towards the surface of the cookies.

One end of the first horizontal axis 3 provides a motor 7 which drives it, of adequate capacity to keep the food in motion and to be properly sprinkled.

Below this first horizontal axis 3, particularly near the silo 2 particulate food outlet nozzle, an opening is provided corresponding to the positioning of a second axis 5, which is parallel to the first 3, and is powered by a second motor 7a whose capacity is also adequate. to be able to control its speed, thus defining the amount of food used. This second horizontal axis 5 is

It is positioned below the first mixing axis 3 and along the length of the silo 2, having an endless thread and capable of transporting the particulate food by the pipe 8 where it is positioned, extending to the distribution module 4 of the particulate food, pipe. it is suitably attached to said dispensing module 4 by means of at least one clamp 9 and a support 10 coated with rubberized material to absorb possible shaking of the assembly 1.

The dispensing module 4 is comprised of an undercut fairing 11 which provides a central orthogonal rotor 12 coupled to an upper motor 7b of suitable capacity which rotor 12 is capable of sprinkling the particulate food onto the surface of the belt biscuits E equipment carrier.

Each step of this device 1 has a motor 7, 7a and 7b of specific capacity and capable of controlling the working speed in each of the steps.

Four support feet 13 of the dispensing module 4 are provided, which are supported on the sides 14 of the conveyor belt. It is a conveyor of the biscuits, and said support feet 13 have height and angle adjustment means, enabling adequate support. even on uneven surfaces.

Optionally, the particulate food spreading device 1-applied to cookie-making equipment may provide for an automatic food grater 15 which may be positioned above silo 2 and shall be independently actuated but interconnected with the system.
