| 20080207103 | Device for the Automated Monitoring of Packaging Machines for the Production of Sausages - The subject matter of the invention is a device and a method for the automated monitoring of packaging machines for the production of sausages, the packaging machines having a filling machine (F), a filling pipe ( | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080261500 | Foodstuff Product, Particularly a Sausage Product, Arrangement and Method For the Production Thereof, and Casing For the Product - An arrangement for producing foodstuff products with pasty stuffing has a stuffing device having a stuffing tube. A casing to be stuffed through the stuffing tube draws additional casing material from a supply as it is being stuffed. A sensor device recognizes spaced-apart markings of the casing. When markings reach an activation position, the sensor device sends an activation signal. A closing device closes the end of the already stuffed casing and the beginning of the next casing to be stuffed. An immobilization brake has a stop position in which drawing of the casing is prevented. A first connection connects sensor device and immobilization brake. A second connection connects stuffing device and immobilization brake. The activation signal causes the immobilization brake to remain in the stop position until the stuffing device sends a termination signal to the immobilization brake that indicates completion of stuffing of a preset stuffing quantity. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080299885 | TEMPERATURE CONTROL OF THE MASS FLOW IN A FILLING MACHINE - A method and a filling machine for the temperature control of a mass flow in a filling machine, wherein the mass flow passes through several sections. In order to also process temperature-sensitive types of filling material reliably with the minimum outlay, the temperature of the filling material is measured in several sections of the filling machine and the temperature of the filling material is controlled by a heating/cooling device to a certain temperature in dependence of the measured temperatures. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090029637 | DEVICE FOR GATHERING SAUSAGE CASINGS FILLED WITH FILLING MATERIAL - Devices for gathering sausage casings ( | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090075577 | PROCESS AND DEVICE FOR CUTTING SAUSAGE - A process for cutting sausages from a sausage link by a cutting device to which the sausages in the sausage link are conveyed together and a cutting site between two successive sausages is recognized by a sensor device, the sausage link being retracted with the front most sausage behind the sensor device after a predetermined number of sausages has been cut. This permits a specific indexing of the sausages in the sausage link after the sensor device and prevents bottlenecks between the cutting machine and the packaging machine. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090124185 | SYSTEMS WITH HORNS THAT EXTEND INTO NETTING CHUTES AND HAVING COOPERATING DERUCKERS FOR PRODUCING ENCASED PRODUCTS AND RELATED DEVICES, METHODS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS - Apparatus for engaging a filler/product pump that include: (a) a horn having a length, an outer surface and an internal product channel extending therethrough; (b) a forming collar in communication with the horn, wherein, in operation, the forming collar is configured to cooperate with the horn to direct planar casing material to take on a generally tubular shape over an outer surface of the horn while product travels through the internal channel; (c) a netting chute sized and configured to receive a portion of the horn therein, the netting chute configured to hold a sleeve of elastic netting material thereon; and (d) an automated derucker operatively associated with the netting chute whereby the derucker is configured to automatically travel through a derucker stroke cycle comprising upstream and downstream locations to pull segments of netting material toward a downstream end portion of the netting chute while product is pumped out of the horn. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090130962 | FILLING MACHINE AND A FILLING METHOD - A filling machine and a method of filling foodstuffs e.g. into sausage casings, with the filling machine having supplied thereto containers in which a foodstuff is stored, and a machine control unit. In order to guarantee a correct operation of the filling machine, a data reader receives container data stored in a storage means at the respective container, whereby the machine control unit is implemented such that the filling process is executed in dependence upon the container data read. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20110212676 | COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR SYSTEMS WITH CASING ASSEMBLIES AND NETTING CHUTES - Computer program products for an apparatus with an automated derucker operatively associated with a netting chute whereby the derucker is configured to automatically travel through a derucker stroke cycle comprising upstream and downstream locations to pull segments of netting material toward a downstream end portion of the netting chute while product is pumped out of the horn. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20120094588 | WHEY SUCTION DEVICE - A clipping machine and a method for producing sausage-shaped products formed by a tubular casing material containing a flowable filling material. The clipping machine includes a filling tube for feeding filling material into the tubular casing material stored on the filling tube and being closed at the front end by a closing clip. The clipping machine further includes a closing device including at least two closing tools, being reversably movable relative to one another between an opened position and a closed position for placing and closing at least one closing clip for forming a sausage-shaped product. In addition, a suction device is provided, having at least a suction opening being located in the region of the front end of the filling tube for sucking a fluid segregated from the filling material into the tubular casing material while being filled. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20120295526 | VACUUM CONTROL IN A VACUUM FILLER WITHOUT EXTERNAL AIR SUPPLY - A conveyor system for a filling machine and a method of conveying pasty mass with a corresponding conveyor system and a corresponding filling machine, including a housing with a vacuum opening and a vacuum pump as well as a suction line for generating a vacuum in the conveyor system. A valve means and at least one pressure sensor for measuring the pressure in the suction line and/or in the conveyor system are provided. A control means controls the vacuum in the conveyor system or the suction line, respectively, wherein the cross-section of the suction line is adjusted in response to the measured pressure via the valve means. | 11-22-2012 |
| 20130210326 | METHOD FOR FILLING SAUSAGES WITH A PASTE-LIKE SUBSTANCE AND FILLING MACHINE FOR PERFORMING THIS METHOD - A method for filling sausages with a paste-like substance by means of a filling machine and to a filling machine for performing this method, including a sensor unit capable of determining at least one parameter that varies differently for different paste-like substances as a function of time. Depending on the at least one determined parameter, a controller determines whether a measure to be implemented on one or more wearing parts is necessary, the wearing parts wearing out at different times depending on the different paste-like substances. | 08-15-2013 |
| 20140287664 | Device and method for controlling a filling machine - A method and a device for controlling a filling machine with a clipping machine, the clipping machine and the filling machine exchanging process data via a communication interface, where functions of the clipping machine, in particular the movement profile of opposed clipper scissors, and functions of the filling machine, in particular the speed profile of a feed mechanism, are automatically adjusted with respect to each other by at least one control system. | 09-25-2014 |
