Abstract

1354505 Ultra-sonic cutter for confectionery CADBURY Ltd 7 Sept 1971 [9 Sept 1970 7 Nov 1970] 43118/70 and 53086/70 Heading B5A A blanket of confectionery, e.g. a tacky chocolate filling, is cut into strips, pieces or shapes by ultrasonically vibrated knives by conveying the blanket 13 under a bridge piece 14 on which is mounted a velocity transformer 15 actuated by ultrasonic transducers 16 and carrying one or more knives 17 which project downwardly into close proximity with the conveyer. The conveyer may include a drum 12 which may be perforated and have suction applied to keep the blanket close to the drum surface which may be covered with plastics material. Rollers 21, 22 and a spring strip 23 may provide positive pressure, and for slicing into strips the knives are positioned at an angle to the vertical centre line as shown and given a negative rake to avoid lifting the material as they cut. In an alternative arrangement (Fig. 2, not shown) the drum is replaced by a flat conveyer belt and the knives are raked by tilting the bridge piece 14. The ultrasonic vibrator is clamped to the bridge piece by quick-release clamps 20 to facilitate removal of the knives for cleaning. Shaped pieces may be cut out using shaped hollow knives and moving the bridge piece along with the material during descent of the knives and cutting, and then lifting the knives and returning the bridge piece to the initial position, cut pieces being ejected by compressed air. Transverse cuts may be effected by a similar arrangement, but no constructional details of these arrangements are disclosed.
