Abstract
The invention relates to a device and a method for transferring sausage portions with a supply transport device, at least one removal transport device, and at least one ejector for ejecting at least one sausage portion from the supply transport device onto the removal transport device. The removal transport device comprises a lower transport device and a holding device disposed thereabove between which the at least one sausage portion is transported.
Claims19
A device for transferring sausage portions, comprising:
- a supply transport device,
- at least one removal transport device, and
- at least one ejector for ejecting at least one sausage portion from said supply transport device onto said removal transport device,
- said removal transport device comprising a lower transport device and a holding device disposed thereabove between which said at least one sausage portion is transported;
- and
- a controller configured for actuating a drive of said removal transport device such that said removal transport device transports said sausage portions at a speed to adjust a predetermined distance between said sausage portions, where said speed depends on at least one of the following parameters:
- a transport speed of said supply transport device, a clock frequency of said ejector, a speed of said ejector, a sausage caliber, a set nominal distance of said sausage portions in a direction of transport T2 of said removal transport device, a number of ejected portions, and a set nominal distance of sausage groups in the direction of transport T2.
A method for transferring sausage portions, comprising:
- via a controller with instructions therein,
- ejecting with an ejector at least one sausage portion from a supply transport device laterally onto at least one removal transport device;
- holding and further transporting the at least one sausage portion between a lower transport device of the removal transport device and a holding device disposed thereabove;
- and
- actuating a drive of the removal transport device such that the removal transport device transports the sausage portions at a speed to adjust a predetermined distance between the sausage portions, where the speed depends on at least one of the following parameters:
- a transport speed of the supply transport device, a clock frequency of the ejector, a speed of the ejector, a sausage caliber, a set nominal distance of the sausage portions in a direction of transport T2 of the removal transport device, a number of ejected portions, and a set nominal distance of sausage groups in the direction of transport T2.
A device for transferring sausage portions comprising:
- a supply transport device;
- at least one removal transport device, the removal transport device comprising a lower transport device and a holding device disposed thereabove between which at least one sausage portion is transported;
- at least one ejector for ejecting the at least one sausage portion from the supply transport device onto the removal transport device;
- and
- a controller including executable instructions in non-transitory memory for ejecting the at least one sausage portion via the ejector during the transfer from the supply transport device onto the removal transport device, and holding and further transporting the at least one sausage portion between the lower transport device of the removal transport device and the holding device disposed thereabove.
