Abstract:
Process and apparatus for operating a machine of the tobacco processing industry. The process includes guiding at least one wrapper strip along a conveyor path from a wrapping strip supply to a garniture device, and fixing the at least one wrapper strip in at least one preset position along the conveyor path The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
Abstract:
A method and a device are disclosed for stacking unpacked processed cheese slices. Single stacks consisting of a plurality of superimposed processed cheese slices are continuously supplied by a transportation device to a first turning station. At the first turning station, the single stacks are individually rotated through 90° in the direction of transportation. These rotated single stacks subsequently are supplied to a second turning station. At the second turning station, two or more single stacks are arranged behind one another in a row and then are rotated together through 90° in the direction of transportation. Thus, the two or more single stacks come to rest on top of one another and form a multiple stack of processed cheese slices.
Abstract:
The invention concerns an apparatus which can be utilized for the quality inspection of fish fillets and enables the detection of faulty spots resulting from processing deficiencies, such as skin or fin remainders, blood spots, bones, as well as from parasites and others. To this end, fillets are guided to a light emitter by means of a conveyor belt which is made from a material which allows light to pass at low absorption. The light emitter comprises light sources which are arranged out of direct sight by means of screens. Due to its characteristic to allow light to pass by dispersion, the fillet will appear illuminated in darker surroundings.
Abstract:
A feed drive for a cutting machine for cutting foods consists of a claw which penetrates into the product at the rear face of the product to be sliced whereby the claw is driven intermittently or continuously in the direction of feed, and guides the product on a roller conveyor against a cutting device so that slices are cut from the product. For an improved guidance of the product and in order to avoid inconsistent slices in particular in products which are long and whose consistency is soft, there is another force-locking and form-locking drive for the product at the front end of the product in the vicinity of the circular knife of the cutting device coupled with the drive of the claw. This additional drive consists at least of a feed roller which engages the bottom of the product in a force-locking and form-locking fashion and which is driven as a function of the feed path of the claw.
Abstract:
An apparatus for gutting fish makes use of a tool driven to revolve. Starting from the idea of a combined slitting tool for opening the abdominal cavity and cleaning tool for removing the viscera, it is proposed to prevent the thereby unavoidable damage to the abdominal skin covering the sides of the abdominal cavity by designing the tool solely as a cleaning tool and equipping it with laterally associated spreaders. The latter are constructed as hollow elements and provided with nozzle bores in their flanks facing the cleaning tool and have a water connection through which water can be led to the nozzle bores with the effect that the water jets keep the belly spread apart when the cleaning tool enters the abdominal cavity.
Abstract:
The main purpose is to provide an electronic controlling apparatus for controlling the setting members for processing tools and guides of a fish processing machine, which apparatus is easy to handle and designed to guarantee a disturbance-free operation. To this end, there is provided a first module as central computer, a second module comprising a signal amplifier and adapting means, as well as third module designed as a computer periphery circuit. The third module comprises a control unit commonly forming memory, combinatorial and control means, as well as an input part and an output part, which are provided for signal decoupling, signal noise suppressing and signal processing. In particular, each module is designed in the form of a plate, the three plates being interconnected electrically and mechanically for forming a structural unit.
Abstract:
Apparatus for aligning and conveying fish includes four vaned wheels mounted in pairs, two upper and two lower. The upper and lower vanes move between one another in the manner of paddle wheels and the upper pair can be moved towards and away from the lower pair for varying cross section of the fish.
Abstract:
A washing machine having a housing, a door in the front of the housing, and a drum located in the housing whose interior is accessible through the door. A luminous ring-shaped display element is placed around the porthole so that the user can be informed at a glance of the operating state of the machine, even if is far from the machine. The way in which the ring-shaped element is switched on (in different color or in sequence of different sectors) is indicative of the point of the washing cycle reached by the machine.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process and to a machine for splicing the trailing end of a running expiring web (e.g., a web of cigarette paper) to the leading end of a fresh web while the ends of the webs travel next to each other, in the same direction and at an at least substantially identical speed between a rotary knurling surface and a complementary second rotary surface which may but need not be a knurling surface. The rolls which constitute or mount the carriers for the two surfaces are driven in such a way that each n-th (e.g., each tenth) revolution results in the making of a splice between the leading and trailing ends of the webs. The forwardly and/or rearwardly extending remnants of the fresh and expiring webs are torn off the spliced-together webs at the respective ends of the splice.
Abstract:
A process for packing a liquid, semi-liquid, soft or fine-powder product in a closed foil tube, whereby the product is introduced into the foil tube in the area of a tube form station and taken to an expulsion station which expels the product from web-like expulsion areas extending over the width of the foil tube, and adds sealing seams to the foil tube in these areas. In order to achieve proper expulsion and sealing which is simple and tight using narrow sealing seams, the foil must first be cooled off prior to expulsion.
