20110045754 | CLIP MACHINE FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF SAUSAGE-SHAPED PRODUCTS - The invention relates to a clip machine for a production line for the manufacturing of sausage-shaped products receives a flowable filling material in a tubular wrapper material. The clip machine includes at least two sealing tools, movable relative to one another between a opening position and a closing position for the placing and closing of clips on a sausage-shaped product, at least one clip storage device from which clips can be fed to a sealing tool, a storage device for storing a supply of wrapper material, a separation device for separating an individual sausage product from the supply of wrapper material, a filling pipe for the feeding of filling material, a delivery device for delivering sausage-shaped products from the clip machine along a transport path for the sausage-shaped products and a feeding device for flexible suspension elements from which suspension elements can be fed. The delivery path for the sausage-shaped products includes a first transport path for the sausage-shaped products and, parallel to the first transport path for the sausage-shaped products, a transport path separate from the first transport path for the sausage-shaped products, for the suspension elements connected to a sausage-shaped product. | 02-24-2011 |
20110045755 | FEEDING MACHINE FOR MANUFACTURE OF SAUSAGE-SHAPED PRODUCTS - The invention described herein relates to a feeding machine for a production line for the manufacturing of sausage-shaped products receives a flowable filling material in a tubular wrapper material. The feeding machine includes storage rods for suspending the sausage-shaped products which have a flexible suspension element on one of their ends, which can be guided via a storage rod and which can assume a closed and an open embodiment, a device for mounting one end of a storage rod that is free at the other end and a device for feeding the sausage-shaped products, suspended from their suspension elements, one after the other to the storage rod and, under guidance of the suspension elements, depositing the suspension elements over the free end of the storage rod at spaced positions along the storage rod. The device for feeding the sausage-shaped products has an endless conveyor with a strand running parallel to the storage rod, the endless conveyor having conveyor elements spaced at intervals to receive the suspension elements of sausage-shaped products one after the other, the conveyor elements being movable from a position holding the sausage-shaped products by their suspension elements into a position depositing the suspension elements onto the storage rod, at least one control element at spaced intervals along the storage rod producing the movement of the conveyor elements into their depositing position; and the conveyor elements having hooks that are pivotable around horizontal axes from their position holding the suspension elements into their position depositing the suspension elements, and the at least one control element is a moving trigger element along the strand of the endless conveyor against its forward direction, which triggers the movement of the hooks from their holding into their depositing position. | 02-24-2011 |
20130160280 | TAG FEEDER - Disclosed is a method and a tag feeder for feeding tags in a feeding direction to a dispensing position within a clipping machine. The tag feeder is provided with a feeding mechanism with at least one pusher means for transporting a chain of tags. The pusher means is reversible movable parallel to the feeding direction between a first and second position wherein, in the first position, the pusher means is in a minimum displacement to the dispensing position, and wherein, in the second position, the pusher means are in a maximum displacement to the dispensing position. The feeding mechanism comprises at least one cutting tool for cutting-off the foremost tag of the chain of tags, viewed in the feeding direction, in the first position and at least one clamping device for clamping the chain of tags when the foremost tag is arranged in the first position. | 06-27-2013 |
20140235151 | CLIPPING MACHINE WITH PIVOTABLE FILLING TUBE AND PIVOTABLY GUIDED CASING BRAKE - A filling tube assembly for being mounted to a clipping machine for producing sausage-shaped products. The filling tube assembly comprises a mounting unit for mounting the filling tube assembly to the clipping machine and a filling tube for feeding flowable filling material into the packaging casing. The packaging casing is being consumably arranged on the filling tube. The filling tube is pivotable relative to the mounting unit at least between a production position and an interchanging position. The filling tube assembly further comprises a casing brake unit, a casing brake holder and a casing brake for being reversibly coupled to the casing brake holder. The casing brake is moveable between a braking position and a releasing position by a pivoting and translational action. In the releasing position, the casing brake is pivoted away from the filling tube, so that unfilled packaging casing can be loaded onto the filling tube. | 08-21-2014 |
