Abstract

The invention relates to the food industry, in particular, to devices for pressing out cords from food, mainly candy, masses. The aim of the invention is to improve the quality of the molded products by reducing the molding pressure and intensifying vibratory effects on the mass. The device containing the feeder 1, the blower 2 with the working bodies 3 in the form of engaging screws, the pre-matrix chamber 4 with the matrix 5, the main vibration elements b in the form of pistons mounted coaxially with the working bodies 3, and the vibration exciter 8, are equipped with additional vibro elements 7 aligned with the main vibroelement 6 with the possibility of reciprocating movement in antiphase. The vibroelements 7 are placed in the openings of the front wall 9 of the blower 2, and the matrix 4 is placed in the lower part of the latter. As a result of vibro-impacts, the fluidity of the processed mass increases and it is pressed out with minimal pressure loss, which helps to eliminate roughness on the surface of the harnesses, reduce shells and other surface defects. The reduction in molding pressure has a positive effect on the quality of the products, since it determines their more tender consistency. 1 il. o (l

The invention relates to the food industry, in particular, to devices for pressing out cords from food, mainly candy, masses.

The purpose of the invention is to improve the quality of the molded products by reducing the molding pressure and intensifying the vibration effects on the mass. :

The drawing schematically shows a device for forming food masses.

The device contains a feeder 1 with rollers, a supercharger 2 with working bodies 3, a pre-matrix chamber 4 with a matrix 5, main 6 and additional 7 vibro elements in the form of axes installed coaxially with working bodies 3 of a supercharger 2, vibration exciter 8 rigidly connected to the pistons. Additional vibro elements 7 are installed coaxially with the main vibro elements 6 with the possibility of reciprocating movement in antiphase. The supercharger 2 has a front wall 9 with openings for accommodating additional vibroelements 7. Primary chamber 4 is located in the lower part of the supercharger 2 between the pistons of the main 6 and an additional 7 vibroelements. The working bodies 3 are made in the form of engaging screws.

The device works as follows.

The food mass enters the receiving hopper and the rollers of the feeder 1 is directed to the loading area of the supercharger 2. In the loading area, the mass evenly fills the cavities between the turns of the engaging screws of the working parts 3 and moves to the pre-matrix chamber 4 with the matrix. The vibration exciter 8 causes the cylindrical pistons of the vibration elements 6 and 7 to oscillate, which come into contact with the mass and create in it variable deformations and stresses. As a result of the vibration effects, the flowability of the processed

mass and it is extruded from the die with minimal pressure loss.

The use of the proposed device in comparison with the known one allows to improve the quality of the formable tows and reduce the molding pressure by 30-50%. Quality improvement is expressed in the exclusion of surface roughness of the harnesses, reduction in the number of shells and other defects. As a consequence, decreases

returnable waste during molding, which is a significant reserve for increasing the actual productivity of the machine. A decrease in the molding pressure within the specified limits has a positive effect on

as bundles, as it determines their more delicate texture and lower hardness after cooling.
