Device for shaping goods that have been produced from a strand of material

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for shaping goods (4), especially candy-type sweets, that have been produced from a strand of material (4). Said device comprises an inner separation ring (2) having a plurality of mold halves (2b) and a plurality of separation ribs (2a), and an outer separation ring (3) having a plurality of mold halves (3a) and a plurality of separation ribs (31a), the separation ribs (2a, 31a), during rotation of the separation rings (2, 3), approaching each other and finally contacting each other to cut off chunks of material from the strand of material (4). The device also comprises pairs of embossing dies having respective first embossing dies (9) and respective second embossing dies (10), the first embossing die (9) being arranged on a first side of the separation rings (2, 3) and the second embossing die (10) being arranged on a second side opposite the first side of the separation rings (2, 3), a cam control device (11, 13) to determine a position of the embossing dies (9, 10) in the axial direction relative to the separation rings (2, 3). The outer separation ring (3) is flexible and is in contact with the inner separation ring (2) during an embossing phase of the goods (5) to emboss the goods between the inner separation ring (2) and the outer separation ring (3) by means of the embossing dies (9, 10).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for shaping objects made of strips of material, in particular confectionery. Background technique [0002] Such a device is known from DE 10 2005 018 077 A1. This known device for shaping confectionery made from strips of material has a surrounding press chamber ring with press chambers open on both sides parallel to its axis of rotation and with The pair of pressing punches assigned in the center, the punches of which can be pushed towards each other into the associated pressing chamber. On the sides of the pressing chamber ring, two partition rings which run eccentrically to each other and are rolled off one another are arranged. The split ring has knife-shaped split arms between which half-grooves are arranged. Separation arms are used to separate individual pieces from strips of material. In this case, the splitting takes place during the revolution of the two splitting rings, between which the material strip i...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] A disadvantage of the known device is that the outer dividing ring and the inner dividing ring only come into contact at one point, namely the cutting point of the confectionery material with the strip of material

In this case, in particular for confectionery with a liquid content inside, there is the risk that the liquid will escape after the cut-off material hits the edge

In addition, due to the short closing time of the cutting edge, the material may not have time to cool down, so there is also the risk that liquid internal components will flow out through the not yet closed cutting edge
