Abstract
The present invention relates to an unreeling device, by way of which an interleaver strip is unreeled from an interleaver reel. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a system consisting of a slitting device and the unreeling device.
Claims20
An unreeling device comprising:
- a multiplicity of cartridges;
- and
- an interleaver reel rotatably mounted in each cartridge,
- wherein the interleaver reel in each cartridge rotates as an interleaver is unreeled therefrom, and
- wherein the interleaver reels are braked automatically as necessary.
2 more elements
A system comprising;
- i. a cutting device including a knife that severs slices of food from a block of food, the slices are arranged so that the slices at least partly overlap to form a portion of a plurality of the slices of food,
- wherein an interleaver is provided between two of the slices of food, and
- ii. an unreeling device comprising:
- one or more cartridges;
- an interleaver reel rotatably mounted in each of the one the interleaver reel includes an interleaver,
- wherein the interleaver reel is automatically braked with a braking means when there is no need for the interleaver.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- unreeling an interleaver from an interleaver reel that is supported on an unreeling device,
- wherein the unreeling device comprises a cartridge rotatably supporting the interleaver reel;
- wherein the interleaver reel is braked automatically when there is no need for the interleaver, and
- wherein as the interleaver reel is unreeled, a buffer is operated such that, in the event of an emergency stop, the buffer buffers an overrun of the interleaver reel.
1 more element
A cutting device, with which a product is cut up into a multiplicity of slices of food, in which the product is transported in a direction of a moving, rotating knife, which severs the slices of food from a front end of the product,
- wherein the slices fall onto a supporting surface and are configured there to form portions of a plurality of the slices of food, and
- wherein at least one moving part of the cutting device is at least partly made of a material with a high strength and low density ceramic.
