  • Patent number: 9215878
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for continuous production of articles including at least two different types from a pasty mass. The mass is introduced into a processor unit by a supply unit, processed in the processor unit and transported further thereby, whereupon an adjunct is added by a metering unit to the mass transported through the processor unit. The mixing of the adjunct introduced to the mass is carried out by a mixing unit with mixing elements located downstream of the processor unit. The mass with provided adjunct is formed by a forming unit into individual articles downstream of the mixing unit. According to the invention, the metering of the adjunct is carried out in a sequence of metering conditions with at least two different metering conditions, wherein the metering unit, for a given metering condition, introduces the adjunct to the mass at a given metering rate.

  • Publication number: 20090035430
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for continuous production of a number of articles including at least two different types of articles from a pasty mass. The mass is introduced into a processor unit (4) by means of a supply unit (2), processed in the processor unit and transported further thereby, whereupon an adjunct is added by a metering unit (10) to the mass transported through the processor unit (4). The mixing of the adjunct introduced to the mass is carried out by a mixing unit (6) with mixing elements located downstream of the processor unit (4). The mass with provided adjunct is formed by a forming unit (S) into individual articles downstream of the mixing unit. According to the invention, the metering of the adjunct is carried out in a sequence of metering conditions with at least two different metering conditions, wherein the metering unit (10), for a given metering condition, introduces the adjunct to the mass at a given metering rate.
