Abstract
In order to produce shish kebab skewers (100) in a substantially automated manner, the individual ingredients (98) are individually provided in cups (6) of a cup arrangement (7) including sequential cup rows (8a, b) and cup lines (12a, b) so that a skewer holder (3) in which plural skewers (99) are received in a row adjacent to one another respectively prongs the same ingredient (98) onto all its skewers (99) simultaneously in that it lowers relative to the cups in whose bases (17) pass through openings (32) are arranged so that the ingredients (98) in the cups (6) are pronged onto the skewers (99).
Claims26
A shish kebab machine for producing shish kebab skewers (100) with a defined number and sequence of ingredients (98) on a skewer (99), the machine comprising:
- an ingredient module (1) in which
- a respective piece of an ingredient (98) is provided in a cup (6) with a pass through opening (32) in a base of the cup,
- a plurality of cups (6) are arranged in cup lines (21a, b)
- a cup holder (3) in which plural skewers (99) can be received parallel to one another with a defined distance (33) from one another by a skewer providing module (2),
- the skewer holder (3) facilitates pronging the plural skewers (99) through accordingly spaced identical ingredients (98) of a cup line (12a, b) in the respective cups (6) of adjacent cup rows (8a, b) extending transversal transverse to the cup lines (12a, b), and
- a control (5) which controls movements of the movable components relative to each other.
A method for producing shish kebab skewers (100) with a defined number and sequence of ingredients (98) on the skewer (99) comprising the steps of:
- pronging ingredients (98) in the form of meat and vegetable pieces one after the other onto a forward pointed end (99a) of the skewer (99) and moving them in a direction of a rear end (99b) of the skewer (99),
- characterized in that
- plural cups (6) with a pass through opening (32) in a base (17) of a cup recess are provided,
- a respective piece of an ingredient (98) is provided in a cup (6),
- a respective cup set (39) with a plurality of cups (6) with identical ingredients (98) is provided in a defined arrangement corresponding to the skewers (99) in the skewer holder (3),
- plural skewers (99) are received in the defined arrangement parallel to one another at their rear ends (99b) in the movable skewer holder (3),
- all skewers (99) supported in the skewer holder (3) are simultaneously pronged through the ingredients (98) in the cups (6) of the cup set (39), and
- this process is repeated with plural cup sets (39) which include ingredients (98) to be received one after the other on the skewer (99).
