摘要： A food patty molding machine of the horizontally reciprocating mold plate type, using a plunger type food pump, has its food product storage hopper set off to one side, horizontally offset from the mold plate and its drive and also clear of the food pump plunger and its drive; the mold plate and plunger pump drives are also offset horizontally as well as vertically so that the pump feed path is an offset V and there is clear access to the mold plate, to the food pump plunger, and to their drives for both machine changeover and maintenance purposes. All machine operations are driven by fluid pressure drive motors to facilitate changes in the overall time of the machine cycle by varying only one operating interval, preferably the dwell of the machine occurring immediately after knock-out.

摘要： A molding mechanism for molding food patties from a whole fiber food product (e.g. poultry breasts, fish filets, large pieces of pork muscle, etc.) comprising a mold plate interposed between planar surfaces of a cover member and a fill member and moving cyclically between a fill position and a discharge position, the mold plate including plural mold cavities that are aligned one-for-one with fill apertures in the fill member through which the food product is pumped under substantial pressure when the mold plate is in its fill position. A plurality of shear blades, one for each mold cavity, are positioned adjacent the fill member intermediate the fill and discharge positions of the mold plate; the shear blades are driven into engagement with the mold plate each time the mold plate moves toward its discharge position to shear food fibers trailing from the mold cavities between the mold plate and the fill member. A plurality of knives, projecting from the portions of the fill member intermediate the fill apertures, cut food product segments that would otherwise bridge those portions of the fill member.

摘要： A food patty molding method and apparatus, utilizing a cyclically driven mold plate containing one or more mold cavities, in which the fill passage connecting the food pump to the mold cavity has a cross sectional area, immediately adjacent the mold plate fill position, encompassing the entire mold cavity surface area; in one embodiment the fill passage comprises a multiplicity of orifices, and in another embodiment the fill passage is open and is matched to the mold cavity in size and configuration. In both embodiments the pressure on the food product is reduced to an intermediate level, a minor fraction of the fill pressure, during the transition interval when the mold cavity is moving away from the fill passage but still communicates therewith, following which the food product pressure is essentially relieved during the balance of the mold plate cycle until full fill pressure is required.

摘要： A conveyor system is set forth. The conveyor system includes first and second strip conveyors. The first and second strip conveyors comprise a common input end that is common to both of the first and second strip conveyors. A lateral drive is disposed to drive the common input end in a lateral direction. A first output portion terminates the output of the first strip conveyor and a second output portion terminates the output of the second strip conveyor. A lateral adjustment assembly is used for laterally adjusting the first and second output portions independent of one another. The first and second strip conveyors are particularly useful in a conveyor system for accepting one or more streams of product input and converting the one or more streams to a format that is suitable for automatic loading to a subsequent machine.

摘要： A conveyor system for accepting one or more streams of product input and converting the one or more streams to a format that is suitable for automatic loading to a subsequent machine is disclosed. The conveyor system comprises an input level shifting conveyor disposed to receive the one or more product input streams. The level shifting conveyor is movable between a first upper level position and second lower level position. An upper level strip conveyor is disposed to receive product from the input level shifting conveyor when the input level shifting conveyor is moved to the first upper level position. The upper level strip conveyor includes an output end that is in a fixed position to direct product received by the upper level strip conveyor to a first lateral alignment position of the format. A lower level strip conveyor is disposed to receive product from the level shifting conveyor when the level shifting conveyor is moved to the second lower level position. The lower level strip conveyor includes an output end that is in a fixed position to direct product received by the lower level strip conveyor to a second lateral alignment position of the format. The second lateral alignment position is different from the first lateral alignment position. An output level shifting conveyor is also used. The output level shifting conveyor is movable between a first upper level position at which it is disposed to receive product from the upper level strip conveyor and a second lower level at which it is disposed to receive product from the lower level strip conveyor.

摘要： A high volume food load slicing machine comprising a pair of loaf feed belt conveyors that continuously advance a food loaf along a downwardly inclined path through a collar into a slicing station at which a rotating and orbiting knife slices the load includes a variable speed knife rotation drive independent of the main drive that orbits the knife and drives the loaf conveyors. A hydrostatic speed variator in the drive connection for the conveyors, with speed corrections made by a stepper motor, affords precision control of slice thickness. A split collar and associated sensor afford continuous sensing of the loaf cross section to provide effective slice thickness correction; the collar is of molded machinable resin so that the knife can cut a working surface on the collar to a precise contour. The collar includes vacuum means to hold the butt end of a loaf for slicing.

摘要： This invention is a stacker for a food loaf slicing machine of the kind in which a food loaf is advanced into a slicing station where slices of generally uniform thickness are cyclically sliced from the end of the loaf. The stacker includes first and second stack supports which are positionable to receive slices as they are cut off the loaf. When one stack support has received a complete stack that support is moved to a displaced discharge position and the other stack support immediately moves into an initial slice receiving position immediately adjacent the slicing station, where it can receive a first food loaf slice as cut with essentially no free fall. The stack support is then displaced downwardly approximately one additional slice thickness for each successive slice received, so that each food loaf slice is added to the stack with no free fall. The stack supports transfer the stack to the discharge position without any free fall; continuous support is provided throughout all stack formation and transfer operations.
