Definitions

  • the invention relates to the production of poured lollipops.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a device for producing poured lollipops.
  • the invention relates to the poured lollipops themselves.
  • Lollipops can be produced by separating off pieces from a strand of confectionery or other material into a rotating drum provided with moulds during the closing of the drum, which pieces are pressed into the desired shape in a closed mould, while inserting a lollipop stick coming from a supply provided on the drum therein. Subsequently, the lollipops are released from the moulds and collected in a tray and cooled or transferred to a conveyor belt of a packaging machine. Another way of producing lollipops is by pouring. In this case a low viscosity mass is introduced into a die with a series of moulds in order to shape the lollipop itself, following which sticks are inserted into the moulds from a supply via dedicated conveying hoses using compressed air.
  • the lollipops are released from the moulds.
  • the heads which have been produced may become damaged, since the material used in the pouring process is damaged relatively easily. This is especially annoying as by pouring it is possible, in principle, to achieve perfect and attractive shapes which accurately match the desired shape .
  • the invention provides a method for producing poured lollipops, in which sticks for the lollipops to be produced are taken separately from a supply of sticks and are inserted by means of stick holders in a die filled with lollipop mass for the lollipops, in which the sticks are held in position in the die by stick holders during hardening of the lollipop mass, in which the sticks are grasped by stick holders after hardening of the lollipop mass in order for the lollipops to be removed from the die for further processing.
  • the position of the sticks per se and relative to the lollipop head is always known and thus so too is the position of the lollipop heads.
  • the sticks are taken from the supply by first stick holders and inserted in the die and held in position by second stick holders positioned near the die during the solidification of the lollipop mass around the stick.
  • the first stick holders can then be used repeatedly for successive dies.
  • the second stick holders are attached to the die.
  • the sticks for removing the poured lollipops from the die are held by third stick holders.
  • the third stick holders are moved in a direction away from the die after the sticks have been grasped and the die has been opened, so that the movement path of the die is kept clear.
  • the third stick holders form part of a conveyor belt, in particular a conveyor belt leading towards a packaging machine.
  • the sticks are transferred to fourth stick holders from the position where they are held by the third stick holders, said fourth stick holders forming part of a conveyor belt, in particular a conveyor belt leading towards a packaging machine.
  • the movement of the conveyor belt towards the packaging machine is in this case decoupled from the movement of the stick holders removing the lollipops from the die, as a result of which the conveyor belt can be of a simple design, for example in the form of a chain with stick clamps.
  • the fourth stick holders grasp the sticks at a location on the sticks which is situated further from the lollipop than the grasping point of the third stick holders, so that the movement ranges of the third and fourth stick holders do not interfere with one another.
  • the invention provides the measure that the sticks are pulled back over a small distance at the end of the insertion movement into the lollipop mass, but still remain in the lollipop mass, the lollipop mass being viscous while the insertion takes place.
  • some lollipop material is entrained, as a result of which a protuberance is formed on the lollipop head.
  • the protuberance prevents a flat side of the head on the stick side of the head, which would otherwise be formed as a result of the lollipop material being liquid.
  • the die is provided with inlet openings for the lollipop mass, which are situated at the top of the die and also form insertion openings for the sticks.
  • the sticks are in this case preferably inserted into the lollipop mass along a vertical path, coinciding with the centre axis of the sticks .
  • the stick holders can pick up sticks from the supply at the bottom of the supply in a horizontal orientation and then turn the sticks to a vertical insertion position. When the sticks are picked up in a horizontal orientation, they are then immediately supported.
  • the stick holders with the sticks are subsequently moved vertically downwards in order to be inserted into the lollipop mass.
  • the vertical translational movement of the sticks can be known: the sticks can be inserted into the die exactly vertically and in a controlled manner.
  • the die is tilted after hardening to a position in which the sticks extend horizontally and, in this orientation, are grasped by the stick holders in order to remove the lollipops from the die for further processing.
  • the horizontal orientation simplifies the transfer of the sticks to the further (in particular third) stick holders.
  • the arrangement according to the invention is extremely suitable for handling the sticks in series, in each case one series of sticks simultaneously being taken from the supply and inserted into the die.
  • the sticks are dispensed to the stick holders from the supply by means of a feed device which is displaceable along a dispensing opening of the supply between a pick-up position for picking up the individual sticks and a transfer position for transferring the sticks to the stick holder.
  • the invention provides a lollipop produced by pouring, comprising a stick and a head of initially pourable, then solidified lollipop material, the lollipop material forming a projection at the position where the stick protrudes from the head, which projection extends along the stick.
  • the invention provides a die for producing lollipops by pouring, comprising a body having a series of mould cavities and stick holders attached to the die in order to securely hold the lollipop sticks inserted into the cavities on the die.
  • the stick holders comprise a series of first clamps and a series of second clamps, the first and second clamps being arranged so as to be displaceable relative to one another on the body of the die between a receiving position and a clamping position, with which a simple and reliable clamping action can be achieved.
  • the sticks can easily slide along during closure of the clamps.
  • the invention provides a storage for lollipop sticks, comprising a storage container tray having a series of dispensing openings arranged at regular intervals at the bottom, comprising a feed device which can be moved along the bottom and is displaceable along the dispensing openings between a pick-up position for picking up individual sticks and a transfer position for transferring the sticks to a series of stick holders.
  • the feed device is provided with a series of holding spaces for in each case one stick, which holding spaces are preferably at regular intervals from one another which correspond to those of the mould cavities in the die, so that the sticks are immediately in the correct relative position for insertion into the die.
  • the feed device is displaceable along a supporting panel having passages for a stick holder, so that the stick can be transferred as closely as possible to the feed device.
  • the width of the dispensing openings is that of several sticks next to one another.
  • the invention provides a transfer unit for transferring a series of lollipop sticks from a supply to a series of stick holders situated at a distance from the supply, such as stick holders on a die or stick holders on a conveyor belt, comprising a holder body which is displaceably arranged on a frame for displacement between a pick-up position for picking up the sticks from the supply and a dispensing position for dispensing the sticks to the stick holders, the holder body being provided with first and second stick clamps for clamping the sticks, which stick clamps are displaceable relative to one another along the holder body.
  • the first stick clamps comprise two series of first clamping parts spaced apart in a direction transverse to the sliding direction, the second stick clamps being situated between the series of first clamping parts, so that a reliable three-point clamp is achieved.
  • the second stick clamps are arranged on a slide which is displaceable relative to the holder body.
  • the transfer unit furthermore comprises a drive mechanism for displacing the holder body, as well as adjustable/programmable control means for the drive mechanism.
  • the drive mechanism is preferably servo-controlled.
  • the control means are adjustable so that the speed and/or acceleration/deceleration of the movement can be adjusted.
  • the movement in particular the abovementioned pulling back of the stick over a short distance subsequent to the insertion into the die, can be adjusted in an optimally adapted manner, for example to the shape and dimensions of the lollipop head and the consistency of the lollipop material.
  • the invention provides a transfer device for transferring a series of lollipops from a first conveyor belt to a second conveyor belt, comprising a holder with a series of stick grippers and means for displacing the holder from a position near the first conveyor belt, in which the lollipop sticks are grasped by the stick grippers, to a position near the second conveyor belt, in which the lollipop sticks are dispensed, and back again.
  • the lollipops for example the aforementioned poured lollipops
  • the second conveyor belt may be positioned for conveying items towards and through a packaging machine where the heads of the lollipops are packaged individually in, for example, a film/foil sheet.
  • the first conveyor belt is provided with holders for holding lollipops in groups in series transverse to the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt, such as the abovementioned conveyor belt having poured lollipop moulds transverse to the conveyor belt.
  • the transfer of such transverse series of lollipops can be simplified if the second conveyor belt is provided with holders for holding the lollipops in a series parallel to the conveying direction of the second conveyor belt, the conveying directions of the first and second conveyor belts being at right angles to one another.
  • the holders on the second conveyor belt may be designed for holding in each case one lollipop.
  • the holder which can be moved to and fro and has the stick grippers can be positioned such that it engages with the sticks at a location at a distance from the lollipop head in order to offer a point of engagement for the holders of the second — o —
  • the holders of the second conveyor belt can engage securely on the lollipops possible.
  • the movement of the holder with stick grippers may be guided in a curved track.
  • the transfer device furthermore comprises a drive mechanism for displacing the holder with stick grippers, as well as adjustable/programmable control means for the drive mechanism.
  • the drive mechanism is preferably servo-controlled.
  • the control means are adjustable so that the speed and/or acceleration/deceleration of the movement can be adjusted.
  • the control means may be indexed, in particular if series of lollipops are formed in steps during the shaping process, according to this step-wise stream.
