Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for dosing products. viscous composite food in containers.
  • the invention relates more particularly to the combined dosage of at least two food products of a different nature in packaging containers. These products are in particular intended to be stored and distributed in circuit refrigerated. In this area, it is particularly interesting to manufacture at high rate of composite products packaged in groups in cells multiples or "multipacks". It would be desirable to be able to dose in multipacks composite products different from each other, for example so superimposed, co-axial and co-lateral from the same dosing head at the same time compact and versatile. It would also be desirable that the dosed products may contain pieces.
  • FR-A-2 708 563 discloses a device and a method for filling jars with liquid and / or pasty products co-extruded coaxially, one products constituting a cylindrical center and the other a sleeve cylindrical surrounding said center.
  • the products are dosed under pressure from flexible supply channels through diaphragm valves towards a mobile dosing device animated by an up and down movement.
  • this device includes a product distribution plate, supplied first product, the central product, by a bent side channel and as a second product, the peripheral product, through a vertical central channel.
  • a multiple nozzle is housed in the distribution plate, the so-called nozzle comprising an annular recess connected by radial channels of more cross section small to a central blind ejection channel for the central product, and channels longitudinal section ejectors arranged around the ejection channel central and passing through the body of the nozzle right through.
  • Food in second product from the central feed channel to the ejection channels longitudinal devices is controlled by an annular membrane in direct contact with the upper face of the nozzle.
  • the method and the device according to the invention propose to eliminate the disadvantages of the previous known device.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized in that the dose is simultaneously or sequentially in alveoli of identical composite products or different, the said composite products comprising given quantities of at least minus two viscous products co-dosed separately in the alveoli according to a concomitant or sequential mode, from the same supply in each of so-called viscous products.
  • the dosage of the products can be carried out different ways depending on the configuration of the nozzles and nozzles. So the nozzles and nozzles can delimit when the dosing is simultaneous co-axial, co-lateral products, or defining areas representing figures more complex. In the case of a sequential dosage, the products may have overlapping layers or areas.
  • the metered products can be food products such as desserts, creams, culinary or sweet foams, fermented dairy products, especially like yoghurts and fresh cheeses.
  • One of the products can be for example a cream cheese and the other a mousse or a preparation based fruits, vegetables or meats.
  • the two products can be for example fresh cheeses with different flavors and different colors from one another.
  • Such products may for example be of the type, but not exclusively, of those described in patent EP-B-0 358 983 or in the patent application PCT / EP00 / 07121 deposited on 07.27.2000.
  • the products are contrasting scent and color and similar texture.
  • a common point all the products which can be dosed by the process and the device of the invention is their viscosity between 5000 to 15000 mPa.s measured with a viscometer Brookfield at 10 ° C, 50 rpm / disc 5.
  • Either or both of the products may contain pieces, for example example of vegetables, spices in a culinary version or, in a version sweet, fresh, dried, candied or mashed fruit, confectionery mass such as chocolate.
  • two masses of fermented dairy products of the genus of Swiss mints or a petit-suisse and a fruit compote of plastic consistency A and B are supplied, for example by single or double Archimedes screw or by pumps positive towards hoppers, which can be pressurized, not shown.
  • Regulated valves not shown make it possible to supply product masses metering cylinders not shown, and the masses are brought by conduits 1 and 2 to the dosing head 3.
  • the dosing head 3 comprises a nozzle 4 vertical by which the masses A and B are dosed in pots 5 carried by a endless conveyor 6 step by step under the nozzles 4.
  • the filling of a pot is concentric and consists of a central portion of mass of type A surrounded by an annular portion B dosed by a volume control mechanism.
  • This mechanism preferably includes a conduit 1 upstream of the nozzle by which the mass B is brought to the nozzle and the duct 1 can be closed and opened by means of the elastic membrane 7 pneumatically controlled by the air coming from channel 8.
  • the conduit 2 upstream of the nozzle serves to bring the mass A and the conduit 2 can be closed or open via the controlled elastic membrane 10 pneumatically by the air coming from channel 11.
  • the metering chambers volumetric, not shown, consist of metering pistons and the portions of conduits 1 and 2 located upstream of the membranes.
  • the passages comprising the portions of conduits 1 and 2 downstream of the membranes and the passages 12 and 13 are preferably optimized so as to provide symmetrical flows for masses A and B to improve dosing accuracy, and they are designed to occupy the minimum possible space and ensure a compact configuration of the dosing head.
  • the metering pistons are actuated individually so as to allow adjustment of the dosing speed, for example by means of a motor speed controller controlling the piston stroke. It may allow a slightly offset dosage of one of the masses with respect to the other when their respective viscosities are not exactly the same.
  • the pots are located under the dosing head.
  • the dosing head is preferably mounted on a up and down device represented by the double arrow 14, via from which the nozzles descend into the pots when the latter appear under the dispenser, to a level close to their bottom and fill them while up.
  • the connecting tubes between the metering cylinders and the nozzles are flexible.
  • the pots are stationary during filling. They advance one not when completed.
  • coaxial dosing can be performed using a distribution plate for filling 12 jars with a configuration nozzles placed side by side in opposition.
  • the conveyor advances two steps for each dosage of twice 6 jars.
  • the colouration can be carried out using a distribution plate for filling 12 jars with a configuration nozzles placed side by side in opposition.
  • the conveyor advances two steps for each dosage of twice 6 jars.
  • a considerable advantage of the filling device of the invention is the fact that the nozzles are not in direct contact with the membranes, which allows them to removable and their interchangeability.
  • Another advantage is that the configuration dosing plates allow easy insertion, for example in the same head of dosing, nozzles of a type, for example for coaxial dosing with nozzles of another type, for example for the colateral dosage, which ensures a dosage of products of varied configuration in multipacks.
  • the nozzles for coaxial dosing and those for side dosing is easily inserted from bottom to top in the housing corresponding 15 distribution plates and they can be held in place by the U-shaped keys 16 which are inserted laterally in the grooves 17.
  • the keys are made of a material having undergone a surface hardening treatment, for example "kolsterising” (process Hardiff) which allows them to slide into the grooves 17 made in the metal of the nozzle holder distribution plate without undergoing oxidation while ensuring sealing.
  • a surface hardening treatment for example "kolsterising” (process Hardiff) which allows them to slide into the grooves 17 made in the metal of the nozzle holder distribution plate without undergoing oxidation while ensuring sealing.
  • any mechanical removable fastening system equivalent could be used, for example a latching means.
  • the pots can be of any shape and size, for example square, rextangular, frustoconical, cylindrical with circular or oval section or for example in the shape of a stylized heart. They can be opaque or preferably transparent to show the contrasting layers of the different masses.
  • the filling volume can preferably be from 20 to 200 cm 3 .
  • the pots are in multipacks and thermoformed, filled and sealed with lids continuously using "form-fill-seal" equipment.
