The invention relates to a method for cooling a flowable melted food material including: (a) providing a device comprising a first cooling belt and a second cooling belt parallel to the first cooling belt, wherein each cooling belt is continuous and has an outer surface and an inner surface, the first and second cooling belts are aligned at an angle between 45&#xb0; and 90&#xb0; relative to horizontal, and the outer surface of the first cooling belt and the outer surface of the second cooling belt are spaced apart to form a gap having a top end and a bottom end; (b) introducing a free-flowing molten food product capable of forming a food product having a pasty consistency is cooling at the top end of the gap; (c) counter-rotating the first and second cooling belts toward each other at the top end of the gap to draw the molten food product between the downward moving outer surfaces of the first and second cooling belts to form a strip of molten food product between the downward-moving outer surfaces of the first and second cooling belts: and (d) applying a cooling liquid to the inner surfaces of the first and second cooling belts to cool the free-flowing molten food product to form a strip of food product having a pasty consistency, whereby the strip of food is cooled simultaneously on both sides.

Shaping and cooling device

A method for producing slices from formable food masses, of which at least one mass is a cheese preparation. A mass is brought into slice form in particular by means of rolls, belts or plates. After or during the flattening by pressing or a flat application of the mass to a layer of a certain thickness, the mass is not applied to specified or unspecified points of the layer or displaced to such an extent that, at these points, depressions, holes and/or free areas occur. Following this, the depressions/holes/free areas are filled out by at least a second mass which differs from the first mass in type/kind, in particular in color.

Method for producing slices of bulk foodstuff materials

A method and a device are disclosed for stacking unpacked processed cheese slices. Single stacks consisting of a plurality of superimposed processed cheese slices are continuously supplied by a transportation device to a first turning station. At the first turning station, the single stacks are individually rotated through 90&deg; in the direction of transportation. These rotated single stacks subsequently are supplied to a second turning station. At the second turning station, two or more single stacks are arranged behind one another in a row and then are rotated together through 90&deg; in the direction of transportation. Thus, the two or more single stacks come to rest on top of one another and form a multiple stack of processed cheese slices.

Method and device for stacking unpacked processed cheese slices

An apparatus for cutting a foodstuff strand into a succession of pieces has a conveyor for continuously displacing the strand in a direction through a cutting station, a vertical guide rail in the station, a blade in the station lying in a vertical plane, and a holder carrying the blade and vertically displaceable along the rail. An actuator braced between the guide rail and the holder is operable to vertically reciprocate the blade. Upper and lower wheels rotatable about respective upper and lower axes generally parallel to the plane and perpendicular to the direction have offset from the respective axes respective upper and lower pivots attached to the mount. A drive/controller connected to the actuator and to the wheels vertically reciprocates the mount and rotates the wheels for cutting through the strand with the blade while moving the blade synchronously in the direction with the strand.

Cutting apparatus for moving foodstuff strand

The invention relates to a package filled with individually foil wrapped, rectangular, in particular square, flexible slices of a highly perishable food, wherein a large number of wrapped slices are disposed, standing substantially upright, as a stack in a container that is open at the top, wherein the stack is enclosed by the four vertical outer walls of the container and the wrapped slices stand on the container bottom, which is preferably ribbed. The entire container can be sealed in a transparent plastic wrapping. A lower front sidewall of the container facilitates removal of individual slices from the container.

Process and equipment for shaping and packaging a viscous substance

This innovation describes a slice stacker, designed in particular for cheese slices and other slice-shaped objects, consisting of a brush belt with resting overhead or lower shot belts, which register slices from the top or from the bottom.

Slice stacker particularly for cheese slices

Drying unit for filled, band-shaped foil hoses with a filling, shaping, cooling, sealing, drying, and cutting station as well as a stacking and final packaging unit, where the drying station is designed as a cold or warm compressed air drying unit. In the area of the drying unit, the roller brushes are working in opposite directions and the band-shaped foil hose is being guided through the roller gap, which makes the roller brushes run in the opposite direction of the transport direction of the foil hose.
