Abstract: A variable metering system for heterogeneous, sensitive and non-pumpable foodstuffs having a low liquid portion, in which a carrier plate system is set into a stroke motion by a drive cylinder which is in horizontal alignment. The foodstuff, which is brought into the metering chambers on the carrier plates using vacuum, is conveyed by said stroke motion to a discharge position where it is ejected under the effect of compressed air. By the type of connection of the two carrier plates, it is possible to change the distance of the carrier plates from each other by means of a rod system and an associated servomotor or by a hand wheel. This distance variation leads to a change in volume in the metering chambers, can be controlled by an external scale and can be readjusted by an automatic control of the rod system. The design of the metering system ensures that it can be easily dismantled and cleaned for cleaning or maintenance purposes.

Abstract: For the conveying device for heterogeneous, sensitive foods that cannot be pumped and have a low liquid content, e.g., Asian noodle or rice dishes, a screw conveyor, which is designed as a hollow worm, is rotated by means of a drive motor. The drive motor is connected to the screw conveyor by a bearing flange and a connecting bolt. The screw conveyor is partially hollow and has radial spikes.
