Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system for the packaging-appropriate arrangement of elongated foods delivered in bulk, such as Pretzel Sticks.
  • the salt sticks delivered as bulk goods are arranged by vibrators in such a way that they lie parallel next to each other in a horizontal position. In this position, they are then conveyed transversely, i.e. transversely to their longitudinal direction, the salt sticks then being weighed, then introduced in portions into a horizontal cylinder, which is then rotated through 90 °, so that the salt sticks are then provided in portions in the vertical direction in accordance with the packaging.
  • the salt sticks are deflected several times by means of vibrators, which means that considerable force is exerted on the salt sticks.
  • the aim is to create an installation which can avoid the aforementioned disadvantages.
  • the pretzel sticks are supposed to cover shorter distances in order to organize them properly; Furthermore, the multiple diversions should be avoided. Farther the pretzel sticks should not be supported by vibrators. This also makes it possible to obtain a higher capacity.
  • the system to be created should have a simple construction, which makes the system inexpensive and less prone to failure.
  • the system according to the invention is characterized by a plurality of downpipes lying downwards on a circular path around a vertical, between weighing devices for pretzel bar bulk goods and underneath take-off devices for pretzel bar portions, that the cross-sectional dimension of each downpipe is only for a subset of a pretzel bar. Portion is dimensioned such that each downpipe is divided into sections along its extension, that at least one of these sections is connected to a vibrator, and that between these sections horizontally movable gate valves for gradually conveying the subsets and bringing them together into one portion by free fall are arranged.
  • pretzel sticks With this system according to the invention, it is now possible for the pretzel sticks to be aligned parallel to one another solely through the downpipes and to be brought into the vertical position suitable for packaging.
  • the common pretzel sticks to be arranged have a diameter of 4-5 mm and a length of 120 mm, for example.
  • Such pretzel sticks delivered in bulk should be arranged in portions according to packaging, whereby one portion can be, for example, 250 g. This target weight should be adhered to as precisely as possible.
  • the salt sticks delivered as bulk goods are brought in FIG. 1 from above in a manner not shown to a distributor which delivers the salt sticks delivered as bulk goods to several weighing devices 1.
  • the system can e.g. 10 have such weighing devices 1, which lie on a circular path around a vertical 2. In Figure 1, only two such weighing devices 1 are shown. Each weighing device weighs a subset of the portion mentioned, e.g. a third or a quarter of the serving. With ten weighing devices 1, ten partial quantities are thus weighed and made available, so that when a portion of 250 g is put together from e.g. four portions in each weighing device 1, a portion of about 62.5 g is provided.
  • the system according to FIG. 1 has several downpipes 3, which are located on a circular path around the vertical 2 and are directed downwards, each downpipe 3 being divided into sections 4-9. In a system with the ten weighing devices 1 mentioned, there are also ten downpipes 3. Each downpipe 3 is directed downward and extends between an associated overhead weighing device 1 and a lower removal device 10. As already mentioned, the partial amount of pretzel sticks is still in the weighing device 1 as bulk material.
  • those three weighing devices are determined via a computer, not shown, which at the same time discharge their subsets into the downpipes 3 by opening a bottom flap in the weighing device, whereby those three weighing devices are determined whose weighed subsets together are closest to the mentioned target weight come.
  • the structure of a downpipe 3 will now be explained, all downpipes of the system having the same structure.
  • the uppermost section 4 of the downpipe 3 can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the section 4 has a mouth edge 11 which faces the bottom of the weighing device 1.
  • the cross-sectional dimension of the section 4 changes very much from the mouth edge 11 to the opposite mouth edge 12 in the section 5.
  • the section 4 has essentially a funnel shape, the cross-sectional profile of the section 4 being very important so that the bulk material from the weighing device 1 to Cross-sectional area 11 falling salt sticks through the inner wall of section 4 to be aligned with each other so that it enters the next section 5 as a bundled subset.
  • This section 5 is a connection cone to the funnel-shaped section 4, so to speak.
  • Section 5 is followed by a cylindrical section 6, which has a first slide 13 as the bottom surface.
  • a cylindrical section 6 which has a first slide 13 as the bottom surface.
  • the three subsets mentioned are located in three selected thereof in a bundled vertical position, standing on the slide 13. In this position of the partial quantities, however, it is not yet guaranteed that individual pretzel sticks do not stand on top of one another, since special precautions must be taken by the salt grains on the outer surface of the pretzel sticks so that no pretzel sticks sit on one another in the longitudinal direction.
  • the first slide 13 is opened step by step, so that the assigned partial quantities fall from the sections 6 into the sections 7 below and in this case on a second slide 14 stand up at the bottom of sections 7.
  • the subsets assigned to one another are now in sections 7.
  • Each section 7 has at least twice the length of a pretzel stick, so that pretzel sticks sitting in the axial direction can also be accommodated in section 7.
  • Sections 7 are connected to a vibrator 15, by the effect of which all sections 7 and the pretzel sticks therein are excited to vibrate, so that possibly pronged pretzel sticks are brought into their side-by-side position, so that the whole bundle of the subset thus mentioned Has a length of 120 mm.
  • FIG. 3 shows a plan view of the sections 7 of the downpipes, it being seen that the sections 7, lying in a transverse plane to the vertical 2, are combined to form a ring. This entire ring of sections 7 is vibrated by the vibrator 15.
  • the selected three subsets fall into the sections 8 and 9 below, FIG. 4 showing a top view of the sections 8. These are in turn combined to form a ring of sections 8, the sections being approximately honeycomb-shaped. In the center is a tube 16 through which the subsets are still separated. The sections 8 and 9 run conically downwards, so that the subsets are increasingly brought closer to the center, ie to the vertical 2, the tube 16 also being tapered downwards and finally ending. The selected subsets have then been combined and stand on a third slide 17. Below the third slide 17 there are the removal devices 10 for the portions. The removal devices 10 comprise a plurality of standing portion tubes 18 for one portion of pretzel sticks each. Only one such portion tube 18 is shown in FIG.
  • three portion tubes 18 can be provided, which stand on a turntable 19, the axis of rotation 20 of which lies outside the vertical 2.
  • This vertical 2 can be called the center axis of the entire system.
  • the aforementioned three portion tubes are arranged distributed over the circumference, so that the turntable rotates by 120 ° step by step.
  • the sections 4 of the downpipes 3 adjoining the weighing devices 1 are more inclined to the vertical 2 than the remaining sections 5-9 of the downpipes.
  • the pretzel sticks delivered as bulk goods are thus arranged in the vertical position by the shape of the sections of the downpipes and brought into the vertical position in accordance with the packaging, with only a single point (section 7) vibrating pretzel sticks standing vertically, so that the pretzel sticks are treated very gently is achieved with a relatively short transport route. There is therefore significantly less breakage and the vertical conveyance of the pretzel sticks, step by step and in free fall, means that little external force is exerted on the pretzel sticks. Since the pretzel sticks are not conveyed by vibrators, a high capacity can be achieved.
  • the portion of pretzel sticks is then dispensed in a position, not shown, in a vertical position into a packaging, not shown.
