  • Patent number: 11457648
    Abstract: A process for dispensing fluid foodstuff material into a shaping cavity of a mould is provided. The process includes advancing a plurality of moulds on a conveying line, along an advancement direction, each comprising at least one shaping cavity. The process includes dispensing a given quantity of the material through one or more of the nozzles, into the at least one shaping cavity of a mould. The dispensing step is executed while the mould continues to advance below the nozzle formation, along the advancement direction. The at least one shaping cavity of the mould has a depth that varies along the advancement direction. The dispensing step comprises varying the quantity of material dispensed into the shaping cavity as a function of the position of the mould along the advancement direction in such a way that the dispensed quantity is a function of the depth variation within the shaping cavity.

  • Publication number: 20210283721
    Abstract: A sheet wrapping material including a metal layer (10), for example, aluminium, can be treated by applying a laser-treatment beam (LB1) to the metal layer (10). The metal layer (10) may be included in a multilayer set with a layer of polymeric material (50), by applying to the metal layer (10) coupled with the layer of polymeric material (50) a further laser-treatment beam (LB2), of a different wavelength, may be applied, to obtain also treatment of the polymeric material (50). The treatment may, for example, include cutting, pre-cutting, and perforation.

  • Patent number: 11084661
    Abstract: A system for conveying products in succession along an industrial line, the system including at least one conveyor configured for conveying the products along at least one stretch of the line. Provided on the conveyor are codes to identify a series of distinct areas, for reception of the products. The system also includes one or more devices configured for detecting the codes of the areas of the conveyor when the areas are located in a position, along the line, where the products undergo a given operation; and a control unit configured for processing the codes so as to determine one or more data regarding the products.

  • Patent number: 10696485
    Abstract: A packaging method is implemented via an industrial plant including a formation of packaging machines (M1-M4) arranged in succession and supplied via one and the same conveyor line (120). The method includes operating the machines further downstream as primary machines and the machines further upstream as reserve machines and establishing a constant presence of products on the conveyor line for each primary machine.

  • Publication number: 20200163357
    Abstract: A system for dispensing fluid foodstuff material into a shaping cavity of a mould is described, of the type comprising the steps of: advancing a plurality of moulds (M1, M2) on a conveying line (2), along an advancement direction (X), each comprising at least one shaping cavity; providing a dispensing machine (4) along said conveying line (2) provided with a formation of nozzles (6; 61, 62, 63) comprising at least one line of nozzles arranged along a direction (K) transversal to said advancement direction (X). The process is characterized in that it delivers the material during advancement of the moulds, and in that it adjusts the quantity of material dispensed as a function of the variation in depth in the individual shaping cavity along the advancement direction (X).
