Friction wheel for a smoke generator that can be used for smoking meat and sausage products

摘要

Friction wheel (10) for a smoke generator intended for smoking meat and sausage products or other foodstuffs that can be smoked, in which the heating of a piece of wood required for the production of smoke is pressed against a friction wheel (10) driven by means of a drive motor (12) designed as an electric motor. is provided to provide a high surface pressure with rib-shaped friction elements (36; 36 / s; 36 / v; 36 / e), characterized in that the friction wheel (10) has the basic shape of a one-sided open cylindrical pot with a thick-walled cylindrical shell, which is composed of a plurality of annular disk-shaped segment plates (22 / i) which are releasably fixedly connected to a base body (18) which in turn is non-rotatably connected to the motor shaft (16) of the drive motor (12), and in that with the friction element (36; 36 / s; 36 / v; 36 / e) coming to rest with the piece of wood used for the production of smoke radial teeth (26 / z) of the segment plates (22 / i) are formed.
