Abstract: A method and apparatus for stacking curved, triangular snack food chips, e.g., tortilla chips, for packaging in a sleeve-type container. The chips are fed into a first, U-shaped vibratory chute, which automatically causes the apex corners of the chips to extend beyond the opposing base edges of adjacent chips and which automatically orients the chips such that lines about which they are curved are oriented parallel to the longitudinal direction of the U-shaped chute. The chips are then fed into a W-shaped chute, with the chips facing in opposite directions falling automatically into opposite troughs of the W-shaped chute. The chips are then automatically reoriented by 120° such that their upturned apex corners point in the direction of travel, and the chips are stacked automatically as they slide up along one another in a shingled manner.
Abstract translation: 用于将用于包装在套筒式容器中的弯曲的三角形小吃食品芯片（例如玉米粉碎片）堆叠的方法和设备。 芯片被馈送到第一U形振动滑槽中，其自动地使芯片的顶点延伸超过相邻芯片的相对的底边缘，并且自动地定向芯片，使得它们弯曲的线定向成平行 到U形槽的纵向方向。 然后将芯片送入W形滑槽，其中面向相反方向的芯片自动落入W形滑道的相对槽中。 然后，芯片自动地重新定向120°，使得其向上的顶点指向行进方向，并且当它们以相互滑动的方式彼此相对滑动时，芯片被自动堆叠。

Abstract: A method for compacting a slug of product and apparatus for accomplishing the same. The invention describes collecting weighed product in an intermediate settling device to form a compact slug of product. The device can comprise a single settling chamber or can comprise multiple settling chambers which are axially rotatable. The slug can be compacted by jostling and/or vibrating the settling device. Thereafter, the product is discharged to a packaging apparatus. Because the product in the final package is denser, a smaller package can be utilized reducing manufacturing and shipping costs.
Abstract translation: 一种用于压实用于实现其的产品和装置的块塞的方法。 本发明描述了在中间沉降装置中收集称重产品以形成紧凑的产品块。 该装置可以包括单个沉降室或可以包括可轴向旋转的多个沉降室。 可以通过搅拌和/或振动沉降装置来压紧块塞。 此后，将产品排出到包装装置。 由于最终包装中的产品更加密集，所以可以利用更小的包装来减少制造和运输成本。

Abstract: A system and apparatus for producing seasoned food products where seasoning is performed at individual packaging lines. The product is conveyed from the preparation area to a packaging area in an unseasoned condition. Upon reaching the packaging lines, which are disposed in packaging departments in the packaging area, the product can be selectively seasoned independent of other packaging lines. After seasoning, the product is packaged and prepared for delivery. At each packaging line, a volumetric feeder includes a feed head that cooperates with a tumbler having helical flights to produce continuous controlled product portions. A seasoning dispenser is positionable within the tumbler and can be adjusted to dispense a given weight of seasoning at a given rate, based on the amount of product passing through the tumbler, to obtain consistent seasoning levels and coverage. The ability to produce separate product types at each packaging line yields superior plant scheduling flexibility due to more packaging possibilities than a system which delivers already seasoned product to the packaging lines.
Abstract translation: 用于生产经验丰富的食品的系统和装置，其中在各个包装线上进行调味。 产品从准备区域运输到未干燥状态的包装区域。 在到达包装区域的包装部门的包装线路时，该产品可以选择性地与其它包装线路进行调味。 调味后，产品包装并准备交货。 在每个包装线上，容积式进料器包括一个进料头，该进料头与具有螺旋螺旋的滚筒配合，以产生连续的受控产品部分。 调味机可以在滚筒内定位，并且可以根据通过滚筒的产品量以一定的速率调节给定重量的调味料，以获得一致的调味水平和覆盖率。 在每个包装生产线上生产单独产品类型的能力可以提供出色的工厂调度灵活性，因为与将包装线已经经过验证的产品的系统相比，具有更多的包装可能性。
