Di e Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum porti onierten Abpacken von flachen Produkten, insbesondere Kartoffelchips, b ei dem die Produkte al s Produktraupe oder in voneinander b eab standeter Reihenanordnung längs einer Produktförderstrecke kontinuierli ch einer Portionierungsein- richtung zugeführt werden und eine Ausbildung einer Portionsraupe mit einer Anzahl von in geschuppter Relativanordnung angeordneten Produkten erfolgt, wobei zur Ausbil dung der Portionsraupe mittel s einer Wiegeeinrichtung eine Produktmenge gewogen sowie einzelne Produkte mittel s einer Zähleinrichtung gezählt werden, und nachfolgend der Ausbildung der Portionsraupe ein Abfüllen der Porti onsraupe in ein Verpackungsb e- hältni s erfolgt. Di e invention relates to a method for porti onierten packaging of flat products, in particular potato chips, b egg the products al as product bead or in each other from b row arrangement along a product conveying section continuously ch of a Portionierungsein- direction are fed and a formation of a portion of caterpillar Number of arranged in a shingled relative arrangement of products is carried out, for training tion of the portion cater medium s weighing a product amount and individual products are counted means s a counter, and subsequent to the formation of the portion cater a filling the Porti onsraupe in a Verpackungsb e- holding s he follows.
Aus der DE 20 2009 0 16 645 U l i st ein Verfahren zum Abfüllen von Kartoffelchip s bekannt, b ei dem die Kartoffelchips al s Portionsraupe in ein Verpackungsbehältni s abgefüllt werden. Di e Ausbil dung der Portionsraupe erfolgt bei dem bekannten Verfahren durch Kombination von zwei Teilmengen, wobei zur Ausbil dung der ersten Teilmenge der Portionsraupe solange Produkte in einen durch Produktstopper abgeteilten, al s Wiegeband ausgebildeten Ab schnitt einer Produktförderstrecke gefördert werden, bi s eine vorab defini erte, durch das Wiegeband gewi chtsmäßig erfasste Teilmenge der Produkte aufgestaut i st. Di e restliche Teilmenge der Produkte wird nachfolgend durch Abzählen einzelner Produkte, deren Gewicht bekannt i st, der al s Wiegeband ausgebildeten Produktförderstrecke zugeführt, so dass schließlich die so kompletti erte Portionsraupe in das Verpackungsb ehältni s abgefüllt wird. From DE 20 2009 0 16 645 U li st a method for filling potato chips s known b ei the potato chips are al s portioned caterpilled in a Verpackungsbehältni s. The formation of the portion caterpillar takes place in the known method by combining two partial quantities, with the formation of the first portion of the portion caterpillar as long as products divided into a product stoppers, al s As a result of this, a sub-set of the products, which has been defined in advance and is weighed down by the weighing belt, is accumulated. The remaining subset of the products is subsequently supplied by counting individual products, the weight of which is known, to the product conveyor line formed as a weighing belt, so that finally the so-finished portioned product is filled into the packaging container.
Zwar i st aufgrund des bekannten Verfahrens der Toleranzbereich des Abfüllgewichts bereits relativ klein, da di e stati sti sche Streuung des Einzelgewichts der Produkte aufgrund der vergleichbar geringen Anzahl der die restliche Teilmenge bildenden Produkte relativ klein i st. Jedoch erwei st sich die bekannte Portionierung der Abfüllmenge der Produkte mittel s Ausbil dung der Portionsraupe in zwei Teil schritten al s relativ zeitaufwendig, so dass hierdurch der gesamte Abfüllvorgang mit negati- ver Auswirkung auf die Produkti onsrate entsprechend verlängert wird. Although, due to the known method, the tolerance range of the filling weight is already relatively small, since the statically scattering of the individual weight of the products is relatively small due to the comparatively small number of products forming the remaining portion. However, the known portioning of the filling quantity of the products by means of the portioning of the portioned caterpillar into two partial steps is relatively time-consuming, so that the entire filling process is correspondingly prolonged with a negative effect on the production rate.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zum portionierten Abfüllen von flachen Produkten, insbesondere Kartoffelchips, vorzuschlagen, das die Ausbildung einer Portionsraupe und deren Abfüllung in ein Verpackungsbehältni s innerhalb kürzerer Zeit ermöglicht. The present invention has for its object to provide a method for portioned filling of flat products, especially potato chips, which allows the formation of a portion of caterpillar and their filling in a Verpackungsbehältni s within a shorter time.
Zur Lösung di eser Aufgabe wei st das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 auf. To solve this problem, the method according to the invention has the features of claim 1.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Anzahl der die Porti onsraupe bildenden Produkte einer Portionsraupe mittel s der Zähleinrichtung in Abhängig- keit von dem in der Wiegeeinrichtung bestimmten Portionsgewi cht einer vorhergehenden Portionsraupe definiert, derart, dass eine aus dem According to the invention, the number of products forming a portion of the portioning bead is defined by means of the counting device as a function of the portion weight of a preceding portion bead determined in the weighing device, such that one of the items
Verhältni s des Portionsgewichts zu dem bekannten Produktgewicht ermittelte Produktanzahl al s Stellgröße zur Steuerung der Portionie- rungseinrichtung dient. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren arb eitet demnach entsprechend dem Prinzip einer Tendenzregelung, b ei der für das Abfüllgewicht einer Produktmenge, al so im vorliegenden Fall das Gewicht einer Portionsraupe, ein zugelassener Toleranzb ereich festgelegt wird. Wenn mittel s der Wiegeeinrichtung ein Abfüllgewicht der Portionsraupe ermittelt wird, das an der ob eren oder unteren Grenze des Toleranzb ereichs liegt, erfolgt eine entsprechende Information an die Zähleinrichtung, dass die Anzahl der Produkte, die die nachfolgende Portionsraupe ausbilden, um eins reduziert oder erhöht und ein entsprechender Zählerstand für di e Steue- rung der Portionierungseinrichtung verwendet wird, die eine entsprechende Abtrennung einer Teilmenge der auf der Produktförderstrecke geförderten Produktmenge zur Ausbildung der aktuellen Porti onsraupe ausführt. Ratio of the portion weight to the product weight determined product number al s manipulated variable for controlling the portioning device is used. Accordingly, the method according to the invention operates according to the principle of a tendency control, which sets the permitted weight for the weight of a product, ie in the present case the weight of a portioned caterpillar, an approved tolerance range. If, by means of the weighing device, a filling weight of the portion caterpillar is determined which is at the upper or lower limit of the tolerance range, a corresponding information is sent to the counting device such that the number of products forming the subsequent portion caterpillar is reduced or increased by one and a corresponding counter reading is used for the control of the portioning device, which carries out a corresponding separation of a subset of the product quantity conveyed on the product conveying section to form the current portion onsraupe.
Durch einen nachfolgenden Wiegevorgang di eser Portionsraupe wird dann wieder ermittelt, ob sich aufgrund der Anzahl der Produkte der Portionsraupe eine Abweichung vom vorgegebenen Portionsgewicht ergibt, die gegeb enenfall s bei der Ausbildung der nachfolgenden Portionsraupe durch Erhöhung oder Reduzierung der Produktanzahl auszugl eichen i st. Vorzugswei se umfasst die Zähl einrichtung eine Prozessoreinrichtung zur Ermittlung der zur Erzielung des Portionsgewichts erforderli chen Produktanzahl, eine Bilderfassungseinrichtung zur Erfassung von insbesondere durch zwi schen benachb arten Produkten ausgebildeten Kontrastunterschieden definierten Zähleinheiten sowie eine Stelleinrichtung zur B etätigung der Portioni erungseinrichtung bei Üb ereinstimmung der Zähleinheiten mit der Produktanzahl . By a subsequent weighing operation of this portioned caterpillar, it is then determined again whether there is a deviation from the predetermined portion weight due to the number of products of the portioned caterpillar, which in the course of the formation of the subsequent portion crayon is increased by increasing or reducing the number of products. Vorzugswei se includes the counting means a processor means for determining the REQUIRED to achieve the portion weight product number, an image capture device for detecting in particular defined by between adjacent neigh ar ar products contrast differences defined counting units and an adjusting device for B tätätigung the Portioni erungseinrichtung in Ü ereinstimmung the counting units the number of products.
Gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform wei st die Portionierungseinrichtung einen Produktstopper auf, der zur Ausbildung der Portionsraupe durch Aufstauen der längs der Produktförderstrecke geförderten Produkte mittel s der Stelleinri chtung mit einer zur Erzielung der erforderlichen Produktanzahl erforderlichen Taktfrequenz in eine Förderebene hinein- und herausbewegt wird. According to a first embodiment, the portioning device has a product stopper which can be used to form the portioned caterpillar by damming the products conveyed along the product conveying path by means of the actuating device with one to achieve the required Product number required clock frequency is moved in and out of a conveyor plane.
Gemäß einer zweiten bevorzugten Ausführungsform wei st die Portionie- rungseinrichtung zwei mit ihren Förderab schnitten in einer Förderebene angeordnete Portionierförderer auf, deren benachbarte Umlenkenden zur Ausbil dung einer Förderfuge voneinander b eab standet sind und synchron sowohl in Förderrichtung al s auch in Gegenförderrichtung b ewegbar sind, derart, dass zur Ausbildung einer Portionsraupe der in Förderrichtung vordere Portionierförderer eine größere Fördergeschwindigkeit aufwei st al s der in Förderrichtung hintere Portionierförderer und die Förderfuge um die Länge der Portionsraupe zunächst in Gegenförderrichtung und anschließend mit Fördergeschwindigkeit des hinteren Portionierförderers in Förderrichtung bewegt wird. According to a second preferred embodiment, the portioning device has two portioning conveyors arranged with their conveying sections arranged in a conveying plane, the adjacent deflecting ends of which are spaced apart from one another and can be moved synchronously both in the conveying direction and in the counter-conveying direction. such that the formation of a portion of the caterpillar front in the conveying direction Portionierförderer a larger conveying speed aufwei St al s in the conveying direction rear Portionierförderer and the conveyor joint to the length of the portion caterpillar first in Gegenförderrichtung and then with conveying speed of the rear Portionierförderers is moved in the conveying direction.
Wenn während des Befüllens des Verpackungsbehältni sses mit der Portionsraupe eine Komprimierung der Portionsraupe erfolgt, kann die Abfüllgeschwindigkeit weiter gesteigert werden. If, during the filling of the packaging container with the portioned caterpillar, the portioning bead is compressed, the filling speed can be further increased.
Vorzugswei se wird zur Komprimierung der Portionsraupe das hintere Ende der Portionsraupe gegenüb er dem vorderen Ende der Portionsraupe mittel s eines Schiebers beschleunigt. Vorzugswei se, the rear end of the portion of the caterpillar against s he accelerates the compression of the portion of the caterpillar medium s of a slider to compress the portion of caterpillar.
Vorzugswei se wird das Verpackungsbehältni s während des Befüllens mit Schwingungen beaufschlagt. Vorzugswei se the Verpackungsbehältni s is applied during filling with vibrations.
B esonders b evorzugt i st es auch, wenn das Verpackungsb ehältni s während des B efüllens mit einem B ehältni sboden unterhalb der F örderebene eines an das Verpackungsbehältni s angrenzenden Abfüllförderers angeordnet i st. It is also particularly preferred if the packaging material is disposed below a conveying level adjacent to the packaging container during filling with a holding tray.
Wenn das Verpackungsbehältni s zur Ausbildung einer gegenüber der Förderebene des Abfüllförderers geneigten Stapelachse im Verpackungsbehältni s gegenüb er der Förderebene unter einem Stapelachsenneigungs- winkel geneigt i st, kann eine besonders produktschonende Abfüllung der Portionsraupe erfolgen. When the Verpackungsbehni s to form a relative to the conveying plane of the filling conveyor inclined stacking axis in Verpackungsbehältni s opposite he the conveying level under a Stapelachsseinigungs- angle inclined i st, can be done a particularly gentle product filling the portion caterpillar.
B esonders vorteilhaft i st es auch, wenn der Stapelachsenneigungswinkel während des B efüllens verändert wird, da somit nicht nur eine Reduzie- rung der Fallhöhe der Produkte erreichbar i st, sondern darüber hinaus auch die Relativbewegung der Produkte gegenüber dem Verpackungsbehältni s b eim Abfüllvorgang reduziert wird, so dass eine weitere Verbesserung hinsichtlich einer produktschonenden Abfüllung möglich i st. It is also particularly advantageous if the stacking axis inclination angle is changed during filling, since not only a reduction in the height of fall of the products can be achieved, but also the relative movement of the products relative to the packaging container is reduced during the filling process , so that a further improvement in terms of a gentle product filling possible i st.
Unabhängig davon, auf welche Art und Wei se die Portionierung, al so di e Ausbil dung einer in ihrer Produktanzahl definierten Portionsraupe erfolgt, kann der Wi egevorgang mittel s der Wi egeeinrichtung durch eine Wägung der Portionsraupe vor Einfüll en in das Verpackungsbehältni s erfolgen. Regardless of the manner and manner in which the portioning is carried out, that is, the formation of a portioned caterpillar which is defined in terms of its number of products, the weaning process can be carried out by weighing the portion caterpillar before it is filled into the packaging container.

Fig. 1 zeigt in einer schemati schen Übersi chtsdarstellung einen Fritteu- senauslaufbereich 10, der eine Vielzahl parallel zueinander angeordnete Auslaufförderstrecken 1 1 aufwei st, welche in einem Bahnspreizungsab- schnitt 12 zur Vergrößerung des Ab stands zwi schen den Auslaufförderstrecken 1 1 divergierend verl aufen und in voneinander beabstandete parallel e Produktförderstrecken 13 übergehen, längs derer, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, in linearer Anordnung die hier al s Chips 14 ausgebildeten einzelnen Produkte weitergefördert werden. Im Verlauf der Auslaufförderstrecken 1 1 werden die der Fritteuse mit der nach oben gerichteten konkaven Oberseite entnommenen Chips 14 zunächst beab standet voneinander der Fritteuse entnommen und für die nachfolgende Produktförderung l ängs der Produktförderstrecke 13 , wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, durch Üb ergab e von einem Auslaufförderer 1 5 auf einen Auslaufförderer 16 gewendet, so dass die konkave Oberfläche der Chips 14 nunmehr nach unten gerichtet i st. 1 shows, in a schematic overview, a frit outlet area 10 which has a multiplicity of outlet conveyor sections 1 1 arranged parallel to one another and which diverges in a web spreading section 12 to increase the distance between the outlet conveyor sections 1 1 pass into spaced apart parallel e product conveying sections 13, along which, as shown in Fig. 2, in a linear arrangement the here al s chips 14 formed individual products are further promoted. In the course of the Auslaufförderstrecken 1 1, the fryer with the upwardly directed concave top chips removed 14 initially spaced beab standet each other taken from the fryer and for the subsequent product promotion l ängs the product conveying section 13, as shown in Fig. 2, by Üb revealed e of an outlet conveyor 1 5 turned on a discharge conveyor 16, so that the concave surface of the chips 14 now directed downwards i st.
Der Produktförderer 16 und ein nachfolgender Produktförderer 17 der Produktförderstrecke 13 werden mit unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeiten angetrieben, um durch den Geschwindigkeitsunterschied definierte Förderab stände a zwi schen den Chips 14 einzustellen. Wie Fig. 2 zeigt, werden die auf den Produktförderern 16, 17 noch vereinzelt geförderten Chips 14 an eine Porti onierungseinrichtung 1 8 übergeben, die im Fall eines ersten, in Fig. 2 dargestellten Ausführungsb ei spiel s einen al s Umlaufförderer ausgebildeten Porti onierförderer 19 sowie einen Produktstopper 20 und eine Zähleinrichtung 21 aufwei st. Wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, erfolgt zur Ausbildung einer Portionsraupe 22 eine Zustellbewegung des Produktstoppers 20, derart, dass sich ein Führungschip 23 infolge der Förderung der Chips 14 auf einen Anschlag 24 des still stehenden Produktstoppers 20 aufschiebt und nachfolgend eine Reihe weiterer Chips 14 sich zur Ausbildung einer geschuppten Anordnung auf den j eweil s vorausgehenden Chips 14 aufschieben. Je nach Ausgestaltung des Anschlags 24 bzw. dessen vertikalen Ab stands von einer Förderebene 25 des Portionsförderers 19 ergibt sich ein definierter Anstellwinkel α der Chips 14 gegenüber der Förderebene 25. The product conveyor 16 and a subsequent product conveyor 17 of the product conveyor section 13 are driven at different speeds to states defined by the speed difference Förderab a rule between the chips 14 set. As shown in FIG. 2, the chips 14 still conveyed on the product conveyors 16, 17 are transferred to a porting device 1 8, which, in the case of a first embodiment shown in FIG. 2, is an al s Umlaufförderer trained Porti onierförderer 19 and a product stopper 20 and a counter 21 aufwei st. As shown in Fig. 2, takes place to form a portion of caterpillar 22 a feed movement of the product stopper 20, such that a guide chip 23 postponed due to the promotion of the chips 14 on a stop 24 of the stationary product stopper 20 and subsequently a number of other chips 14 itself to postpone the formation of a scaly arrangement on the previous chips 14. Depending on the configuration of the stopper 24 or its vertical Ab stands of a conveying plane 25 of the portion conveyor 19 results in a defined angle α of the chips 14 with respect to the conveying plane 25th
Zur Erzeugung einer Porti onsraupe 22 wird nachdem eine definierte Anzahl von Chips 14 di e Zähleinrichtung 21 passiert hat, ausgelöst durch ein erstes Stell signal der Zähleinrichtung 21 , der Produktstopper 20 mit einer Zustellbewegung 38 gegen die Fördereb ene 25 zugestellt, derart, dass der Chip 23 entsprechend dem Anstellwinkel α gegenüber der Förderebene 25 aufgerichtet wird und die nachfolgenden Chips 14 sich gegenüber dem Führungschip 23 aufstauen . Das Aufstauen erfolgt solange, bi s die Zähleinrichtung 2 1 ein zweites Stell signal an den Produkt- stopper 20 richtet, derart, dass der Produktstopper 20 mit einer Rückstellbewegung 39 in seine in Fig. 2 strichpunktiert dargestellte Ausgangsstellung zurückgestellt wird und für die Erzeugung einer nachfolgenden Portionsraupe 22 durch wiederholte Zustellung gegen die Förderebene 25 zur Verfügung steht. Dabei i st die Zustellbewegung des Pro- duktstoppers 20 bzw. dessen Rückstellbewegung so getaktet, dass die zwi schen den einzelnen Chips 14 definierten Förderab stände a ausreichend sind, um nachfolgend dem Produktstopper 20 auf dem Portionsförderer 19 mit Ab stand kontinuierlich einander nachfolgende Portionsraupen 22 einem in Fig. 4 dargestellten Abfüllförderers 26 zuzufördern, an dessen Übergab eende 27 ein Verpackungsb ehältni s 28 zur Aufnahme der die Portionsraupe 22 ausbildenden Chips 14 angeordnet i st. B ei der in Fig. 4 dargestellten Ausführungsform i st der Abfüllförderer 26 mit einer al s Wiegeband ausgeführten Wi egeeinrichtung 29 versehen, so dass während der Förderung der Portionsraupe 22 auf dem Abfüllförderer 26 eine Gewichtsb estimmung der Portionsraupe 22 erfolgen kann. Da das Einzelgewicht der Chips 14 bekannt i st, kann aus dem ermittelten Portionsgewicht di e Anzahl der Chips 14 der Portionsraupe 22 ermittelt werden . Für den Fall, dass das Portionsgewicht außerhalb eines vorgegebenen zulässigen Toleranzbereichs li egt, kann durch die mit der Wiegeeinrichtung 29 verbundene Zähleinrichtung 21 die Anzahl der Chips 14 berechnet werden, die einem innerhalb des Toleranzberei chs li egenden Portionsgewicht entspricht. In order to generate a tracking bead 22, after a defined number of chips 14 have passed through the counting device 21, triggered by a first setting signal of the counting device 21, the product stopper 20 is delivered with a feed movement 38 against the conveying line 25, such that the chip 23 is erected according to the angle of attack α with respect to the conveying plane 25 and the subsequent chips 14 build up against the guide chip 23. The damming takes place as long as the counter 2 1 sends a second signal to the product stopper 20, such that the product stopper 20 is reset with its return movement 39 into its starting position shown in phantom in FIG. 2 and for the generation of a following Portionsraupe 22 by repeated delivery against the conveying plane 25 is available. In this case, the infeed movement of the product stopper 20 or its return movement is timed such that the tween the individual chips 14 defined delivery distances a are sufficient to subsequently project the product stopper 20 on the portion conveyor 19 with a continuous succession of portioned caterpillars 22 a In Fig. 4 zuzufördern delivery conveyor 26, at the transfer eende 27 a Verpackungsb shältni s 28 for receiving the portion of caterpillar 22 forming chips 14 arranged i st. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4, the filling conveyor 26 is provided with an ironing device 29 designed as a weighing belt, so that a weighting of the portioning bead 22 can take place on the filling conveyor 26 during the conveyance of the portioning bead 22. Since the individual weight of the chips 14 is known, the number of chips 14 of the portioning bead 22 can be determined from the determined portion weight. In the event that the portion weight lies outside a predetermined permissible tolerance range, the number of chips 14 which corresponds to a portion weight within the tolerance range can be calculated by the counting device 21 connected to the weighing device 29.
Di e Ermittlung eines zu hohen Portionsgewichts durch die Wiegeeinrichtung 29 führt daher zu einer geeigneten Reduzi erung der Anzahl der Chips 14, und di e Ermittlung eines zu geringen Portionsgewichts führt daher zu einer entsprechenden Erhöhung der Anzahl der Chips 14, wobei di e von der Zähleinrichtung 21 ermittelte Sollanzahl zur Ansteuerung des Produktstoppers 20 verwendet wird und somit die Erzeugung einer nachfolgenden Portionsraupe 22 ermöglicht, die ein innerhalb des Toleranzbereichs li egendes Portionsgewicht aufwei st. Alternativ zu der in Fig. 4 dargestellten Ausführungsform i st es auch mögli ch, das Porti onsgewicht der in das Verpackungsbehältni s 28 abgefüllten Chip s 14 der Portionsraupe 22 durch Ermittlung des Verpackungsbruttogewichts zu bestimmen, derart, dass das Gewicht des Verpackungsbehältni sses 28 samt der darin abgefüllten Chips 14 ermittelt wird. The determination of an excessively high portion weight by the weighing device 29 therefore leads to a suitable reduction in the number of chips 14, and the determination of a portion weight that is too small therefore leads to a corresponding increase in the number of chips 14, where di e from the counter 21 determined target number is used to control the product stopper 20 and thus allows the generation of a subsequent portion of caterpillar 22, the aufwei a within the tolerance li egendes portion weight aufwei. As an alternative to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4, it is also possible to determine the portion weight of the chip s 14 of the portion caterpillar 22 filled into the packaging container 28 such that the weight of the packaging container sses 28 together with the package weight filled in chips 14 is determined.
Fig. 3 zeigt in einer weiteren Ausführungsform eine Portionierungsein- richtung 30, die anstelle der Portionierungseinrichtung 1 8 in der Produktförderstrecke 13 angeordnet werden kann, wobei die Portionierungseinrichtung 30 zwei mit Förderab schnitten 3 1 , 32 in der Förderebene 25 angeordnete Portionierförderer 33 , 34 aufwei st, deren benachbarte3 shows, in a further embodiment, a portioning device 30 which can be arranged in the product conveying path 13 instead of the portioning device 1 8, wherein the portioning device 30 has two portioning conveyors 33, 34 arranged with conveying section 3 1, 32 arranged in the conveying plane 25 st, whose neighbors
Umlenkenden 35 , 36 zur Ausbildung einer Förderfuge 37 voneinander beab standet sind. Die Umlenkenden 35 , 36 sind sowohl in Förderrichtung 45 al s auch in Gegenförderrichtung 46 synchron bewegbar, derart, dass zur Ausbil dung einer Portionsraupe 22 der in Förderrichtung 45 vordere Portionierförderer 34 eine größere Fördergeschwindigkeit aufwei st al s der in Förderrichtung 45 hintere Portionierförderer 33 und di e Förderfuge 37 entsprechend der Länge der beab sichtigten Portionsraupe 22 zunächst mit einer Rückbewegung 41 in Gegenförderrichtung 46 und anschließend mit einer Vorb ewegung 40 und mit Fördergeschwindigkeit des hinteren Portionierförderers 33 wieder in Förderri chtung 45 vorbe- wegt wird. Dabei werden von der Zähleinrichtung 21 in Abhängigkeit von einer zur Erzielung des Portionsgewichts benötigten Anzahl Chips 14 Stell signale an die Umlenkenden 35 , 36 der Portionierförderer 33 , 34 üb ermittelt. Deflecting 35, 36 for forming a conveyor joint 37 from each other beab standet are. The deflecting 35, 36 are both synchronously movable in the conveying direction 45 al s in Gegenförderrichtung 46, such that for Ausbil tion of a portion 22 of the front 45 in the conveying direction 45 Portionierförderer 34 a larger conveying speed aufwei St al s in the conveying direction 45 rear portioning conveyor 33 and The conveying groove 37 is again advanced into conveying direction 45 in accordance with the length of the intended portioning bead 22, first with a return movement 41 in the counter-conveying direction 46 and subsequently with a preliminary movement 40 and with the conveying speed of the rear portioning conveyor 33. In this case, 14 of the counter 21 in response to a required to achieve the portion weight number of chips signal to the deflectors 35, 36 of the portioning conveyor 33, 34 üb determined.
Im Unterschi ed zu der Portionierungseinrichtung 1 8, b ei der eine Her- Stellung der Portionsraupen 22 ausgehend von an der Zähleinrichtung 21 vereinzelt und mit Ab stand voneinander vorbeigeführten Chips 14 erfolgt, werden Portionsraupen 22 bei der Portionierungseinrichtung 30 ausgehend von einer an der Zähl einrichtung 21 vorbeigeförderten geschuppten Reihenanordnung 44 von Chips 14 hergestellt. Sowohl bei der Portioni erungseinrichtung 1 8 al s auch bei der Portionierungseinrichtung 30 umfasst die Zähleinri chtung 21 eine Bil derfassungseinrichtung sowie eine Prozessoreinrichtung, wobei die Bilderfassungseinrichtung vorzugswei se so ausgebildet i st, dass eine Zählung der an der Zähl einrichtung 21 vorbeigeführten Chips 14 aufgrund von im In Unterschi ed to the portioning device 1 8, b egg of a Her- position of the portion caterpillars 22 separated from the counter 21 and with Ab stood from each other passing chips 14 are portioning caterpillar 22 at the portioning device 30 from one to the counting device 21 conveyed geschuppenten row assembly 44 made of chips 14. Both in the portioning device 1 8 and also in the portioning device 30, the counter 21 comprises a frame acquisition device and a processor device, the image acquisition device preferably being configured to count the chip 14 passing by the counting device 14 on the basis of FIG in the
Üb ergang zwi schen den einzelnen Chips 14 ausgebildeten opti schen Kontrastunterschieden erfolgt. Die Prozessoreinrichtung dient zur Ermittlung der Sollanzahl der Chips 14 der Portionsraupe 22, di e zur Erzielung eines innerhalb des Toleranzb ereichs liegenden Portionsgewi chts der Porti onsraupe 22 erforderlich i st. Weiterhin wei st die Zäh- leinrichtung 21 eine ebenfall s nicht dargestellte Stelleinrichtung auf, die im Falle der Portionierungseinrichtung 1 8 den Produktstopper 20 und im Falle der Portionierungseinrichtung 30 die Umlenkenden 35, 36 mit Stellgrößen beaufschlagt, welche jeweils die Zustellbewegung 38 und die Rückstellbewegung 39 des Produktstoppers 20 bzw. die Vorbewegung 40 und die Rückbewegung 41 der Umlenkenden 35, 36 bewirkt. In den Fig.5 und 6 ist am Ende des Abfüllförderers 26 eine verschwenkbare bzw. in der Neigung verstellbare Anordnung des Verpackungsbehältnisses 28 vorgesehen, derart, dass eine sich bei einem Abfüllen der Chips 14 der Portionsraupe 22 in das Verpackungsbehältnis 28 ausbildende Stapelachse 42 einen Stapelachsenwinkel ß gegenüber der Förder- ebene 25 aufweist, wobei darüber hinaus der Stapelachsenwinkel ß bei dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel während des Abfüllvorgangs veränderbar ist, so dass, wie Fig.5 zeigt, zu Beginn des Abfüllvorgangs der Stapelachsenwinkel ß relativ klein und zum Ende des Abfüllvorgangs, wie Fig.6 zeigt, der Stapelachsenwinkel ß relativ groß gegenüber der Förderebene 25 ausgebildet ist. Dies hat zur Folge, dass sich die relative Fallhöhe der Chips 14 gegenüber bereits in dem Verpackungsbehältnis 28 befindlichen Chips 14 während des Abfüllvorgangs nur relativ geringfügig ändert. Transition between the individual chips 14 formed opti rule contrast differences takes place. The processor device is used to determine the target number of chips 14 of the portion bead 22, the di e to achieve a lying within the Toleranzb range Portionsgewi chts the Porti onsraupe 22 required i st. Furthermore, the counting device 21 also has an adjusting device (not shown) which, in the case of the portioning device 1 8, has the product stopper 20 and in the Case of the portioning device 30, the deflecting 35, 36 acted upon by manipulated variables, which causes each of the feed movement 38 and the return movement 39 of the product stopper 20 and the forward movement 40 and the return movement 41 of the deflecting 35, 36. In FIGS. 5 and 6, a pivotable or tilt-adjustable arrangement of the packaging container 28 is provided at the end of the filling conveyor 26, such that a stacking axis 42 forming a filling of the chips 14 of the portioning bead 22 into the packaging container 28 has a stacking axis angle ß compared to the conveyor plane 25, wherein in addition the stack axis angle ß in the embodiment shown here during the filling process is variable, so that, as Figure 5 shows, at the beginning of the filling process, the stack axis angle ß relatively small and at the end of the filling process, As Figure 6 shows, the stack axis angle ß is formed relatively large relative to the conveying plane 25. This has the consequence that the relative drop height of the chips 14 changes only slightly compared with chips 14 already located in the packaging container 28 during the filling process.
Diese schonende Art des Abfüllens wirkt sich besonders dann vorteilhaft aus, wenn die Portionsraupe 22 definiert in das Verpackungsbehältnis 28 übergeben wird, beispielsweise durch eine auf einen Endchip 43 der Portionsraupe 22 aufgeprägte Beschleunigung. Dies kann durch einen Produktschieber erfolgen, der mit größerer Geschwindigkeit in Förderrichtung 45 bewegt wird als das Fördermittel des Abfüllförderers 26. This gentle type of filling has a particularly advantageous effect when the portioned bead 22 is transferred in a defined manner into the packaging container 28, for example by an acceleration impressed on an end chip 43 of the portioning bead 22. This can be done by a product slide, which is moved at a greater speed in the conveying direction 45 than the conveying means of the filling conveyor 26th
