3.1 Description of the machine
The Hoyer Comet RC rotary filler is designed and
built to provide the dependability and safety required
of machinery for the production of ice cream cones
and cups.
The Hoyer Comet RC rotary filler consists of a free-
standing stainless steel structure on which the
following components are mounted:
-
in the lower part of the machine, mechanisms
which command the rotation of the rotating
table and the movement of the workstations;
- an ice cream bypass unit (Pos. 1, Fig. 3.1);
- a cone/cup feed unit (Pos. 2, Fig. 3.1);
- a dosing and filling unit (Pos. 3, Fig. 3.1);
- a lid pick-up unit (Pos. 4, Fig. 3.1);
- a lid sealing unit (Pos. 4, Fig. 3.1);
- a date stamping unit;
- an ejector unit (Pos. 6, Fig. 3.1).
A combination of mechanical and pneumatic
movements is used to pick up an empty cone/cup
from the magazine and put it in position in a slot on
the rotating table. The table is jogged to bring the
cone/cup into alignment with the operating units listed
above, so that it can be filled, packaged and then
ejected.
