摘要： A patty-forming machine includes a food supply system where the drive mechanism for feed screws use integrated and compact motor and gearbox assemblies. The feed screws have heavy wall thickness flights and the feed screw shafts are journaled through modular bearing assemblies. A conveyor that forms the bottom of the hopper uses a sealed drum motor housed in the drive roller to drive the conveyor. A food supply system includes independent sensing means for indicating whenever the moldable food material accumulated at one end of the hopper exceeds a given level.

摘要： A system, suitable for high-speed operation, by which raw product (45), such as a slab of meat, can be accurately processed, such as by slicing into segments of desired weight, comprises a product profiling apparatus (15). The product profiling apparatus (15) measures the profile of the physical process. The product profiling apparatus (15) includes line lasers (75, 85) for directing a line of light across the upper and lower surfaces of the product (45) and visual image cameras (80, 90) directed toward the profile surface to capture, at fixed increments, the product profile. The product may also be weighed and the product density determined from the overall profile measurements. A controller (150) receives this data, and instructs the physical process accordingly.

摘要： A feed conveyor is operable in a first direction to deposit a stream of articles across a width of a downstream conveyor operating along a second direction, the second direction being at an angle to the first direction. The feed conveyor is an extendable conveyor that is accurately controlled for circulating speed, extension speed and retraction speed, to deposit articles transversely onto the downstream conveyor in a tightly spaced, grid pattern. The extension and retraction speed are controlled by a first servomotor and the conveying speed of the feed conveyor is controlled by a second servomotor.

摘要： A mold plate for use in a reciprocating mold plate patty-forming apparatus includes a flat body having a plurality of cavities for forming patties. The flat body has a fill side face and an opposite face. A grid pattern of grooves is formed on the second face extending longitudinally and laterally on the second face. The pattern extends a lateral distance that is about equivalent to an overall patty cavity field width. Longitudinal and lateral slots that penetrate though a thickness of the mold plate and flow connect fill side pressure and meat with the pattern of grooves on the second face to balance the pressure on the opposite faces of the flat body.

摘要： The invention provides a slicing and conveying system that includes a slicing blade that cuts slices from a loaf, and an output conveyor located below the slicing blade for receiving the slices in a draft. A control system automatically adjusts a lateral movement of the output conveyor to form a laterally shingled draft of a consistent width in response to a sensed lateral dimension of the loaf being sliced. The control system includes a displacement sensor carried by a laterally adjustable guide assembly adjacent to the slicing blade. The displacement sensor is signal-connected to a control. The control is signal-connected to the output conveyor to control the lateral movement of the output conveyor according to the lateral dimension of the loaf sensed by the displacement sensor. As an additional aspect, the slices can be shingled in the longitudinal direction to form a two dimensional footprint. A length sensor can sense the length of the shingled draft and send a feedback signal to the control to make adjustments to the longitudinal movement of the output conveyor to adjust the degree of longitudinal shingling.

摘要： A patty forming machine includes a mechanical compartment having a front wall and surrounding a reciprocating device, a reciprocating mold plate having cavities for forming patties, and a reciprocating knock-out device for knocking the patties from the mold plate. The knock-out device includes vertically reciprocating knock-out rods, knock-out bar arms connected to the knock-out rods, a bar connected to the knock-out bar arms, and a plurality of cups connected to the bar. The knock-out rods are guided both above and below the knock-out bar arms for vertical reciprocating movement. The knock-out rods are connected together by a tie rod and clamp blocks located at opposite ends of the tie bar. The knock-out rods are driven into vertical reciprocation by knock-out arms which are driven to pivot by rotating cams. Located adjacent to each of the cams is an oil reservoir which is substantially sealed except for being penetrated by two wicks, one of the wicks being used to transport oil to the pivotal connection of the respective knock-out arm, and respective other of the wicks arranged to transport oil to the cam surface which drives the knock-out arm.
