Depositing machine having a plug-in connection

A depositing machine having:

• at least one tank which contains a product for depositing and which is equipped with a stirring device for stirring the product in the tank;
• a depositing assembly which is located below the tank and comprises:
• a) at least one row of horizontal pistons which perform:
• an intake cycle which draws product from the tank, and
• an exhaust cycle which expels acquired product;
• and
• b) at least one dispensing device which rotates between:
• a first position for receiving the product acquired by the pistons, and
• a second position enabling an outflow of the acquired product that is expelled by the pistons;
• a motor for rotating the dispensing device;
• actuation means for moving the pistons in a reciprocal manner, and the actuation means are releasably connected to the pistons;
• and
• a machine frame which carries the motor and comprises two arms which project along respective parallel horizontal axes and are equipped with the actuation means;
• and
• the tank and the depositing assembly form part of a module which is removable as one piece from the frame;
• the module is releasably connected to the motor and is equipped with a further frame, and
• the further frame in the machine frame is fastened, by way of a form-fitting bolt connection, which is disposed in a substantially horizontal manner.

A depositing machine for depositing a foodstuff mass comprising:

• a machine frame,
• a depositing assembly for delivering the foodstuff mass from the depositing machine, and
• at least one tank for supplying the foodstuff mass to the depositing assembly,
• wherein at least a component of the depositing machine is removable from the machine frame, and
• the component is fastened to the machine frame by way of a plug-in connection which is disposed in a substantially horizontal manner.

A construction kit for converting a depositing machine which comprises a machine frame, a depositing assembly, for delivering the foodstuff mass from the depositing machine, and at least one tank for supplying the foodstuff mass to the depositing assembly, wherein the tank, the depositing assembly, and/or a module comprising a tank and a depositing assembly, is/are removable from the machine frame,

• the construction kit for the conversion comprises:
• at least one first carrier part which is fastenable to a component, the depositing assembly, and/or the module;
• and
• at least one second carrier part which is fastenable to the machine frame,
• at least one projecting member and/or at least one clearance is/are disposed on each of the first carrier part and the second carrier part, and a plug-in connection is establishable between the first and the second carrier part.
