Abstract
Device for packaging products, in particular bread, in bags, comprising a bearing guide (1) which guides a bearing part (2) which is driven in a reciprocating movement. The bearing part bears lower and upper scoops (7, 9) which can move relative to each other. During the movement of the bearing part, the scoops place a bag (13) over product (8). The lower scoop has a supporting surface (30) which, at least during the infeed of a product is inclined downwardly. A horizontal conveyance surface of discharge means (15) extends to just below the lower scoop. The device comprises a tilting unit in order to turn the scoops in such a way that the supporting surface assumes a horizontal position while a bag is being placed.
Claims4
Device for packaging products, in particular bread, in bags, at least comprising feed means and discharge means (26, 15) for the products (8), the feed means (26) conveying the products at a level above the discharge means (15), a bearing guide (1) extending essentially at right angles to a direction of conveyance of the products, for guiding a bearing part (2) which can be driven in a reciprocating movement by a rotary drive motor by means of a main linkage assembly (3, 5) and bears a lower and an upper scoop (7, 9), which scoops can be moved relative to each other during and as a result of the movement of the bearing part, the device being able to place a bag (13) over a product to be packaged by means of the scoops mounted on the bearing part while the product is retained by blockade means (14), and the lower scoop (7) having a supporting surface (30) which, at least during the infeed of a product to be packaged on the supporting surface, is inclined downwardly, viewed in the direction of conveyance of said product, characterized in that the discharge means (15) comprise an essentially horizontal conveyance face extending to just below the lower scoop (7), the two scoops (7, 9) are hingedly connected to the bearing part (2), and the device is provided with a tilting unit which is designed to turn the two scoops (7, 9) in such a way that the supporting surface (30) is in a horizontal position when a bag has been placed over the product and the scoops (7, 9) move out of the bag.
