A method and a device for separating shirred casing sticks, where a row Rwith a first number of consecutively disposed shined casing sticks in a shined casing stick storage is pushed in a first stroke cycle by a pusher along a sloped plane in the direction of a separation edge and one after the other over the separation edge and, once the last shined casing stick of the row has been pushed over the separation edge, the pusher moves back along the sloped plane and takes a row Rwith a second number of consecutively disposed shined casing sticks and pushes them in a further stroke cycle in the direction towards the separation edge, characterized in that a control device determines the filling level of shined casing sticks in the shined casing stick storage from the number of shined casing sticks pushed over the separation edge.

Sausage casing storage with filling level monitoring

A filling machine includes a suspension device, and is operable to suspend sausages, in particular sausage chains, with a plurality of circulating suspension hooks. The suspension device includes an integrated weighing unit for weighing at least one sausage or at least one sausage chain.

Weighing system

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.

Device and method for controlling a filling machine

A method and a device for separating food products, including to permit a straight cut at high cycle rates, the food product is conveyed by a conveying device in the direction of transport. The food product is cut through, where a cutting element is moved in the direction of transport and transverse to the direction of transport, wherein the motion of the cutting element transverse to the direction of transport is controlled independently of its motion in the direction of transport and the food product does not rest on the cutting area on the conveying means.

Method and device for separating products

A method and a device for separating a sausage chain into single sausages, where filled, portioned sausages are initially transported with a first transport device and with a second transport device arranged behind the first transport device in the transport direction T. The portioning point between two consecutively arranged sausages is enlarged due to the transport speed of the second transport device being faster at least intermittently than the transport speed of the first transport device. The sausage chain is then parted at the portioning point in the second transport device.

Device and method for parting sausage chains

A meat mincing machine and a method of producing minced foodstuffs, in particular minced meat, with an inlet, at least one blade on a following perforated disc, as well as with a separating device for separating and drawing off hard constituents wherein, to improve the weight accuracy, it has a device for the determination of the drawn-off amount of separated product.

Meat mincing machine

A separation device for separating sausages at separation points, comprising at least one first separation element and one second separation element, which are driven so as to circulate in opposite directions on circular paths in such a way that, when circulating, they cooperate such that the sausage strand is cut through. The first separation element comprises a first forming element which circulates together therewith and which precedes the first separation element on its circular path, and that the second separation element comprises a second forming element which circulates together therewith and which follows the second separation element on its circular path, with the first and second forming elements holding the sausages to be separated at a desired distance. Through a corresponding method sausages can be separated at separation points and cut.

Device and a method of separating sausages

The present invention relates to a method for filling sausage casings, comprising a filling machine in which the filling material is ejected through a filling tube into a sausage casing, said casing being twisted off after a portion which is representative of an individual sausage has been filled in, so as to form individual sausages, the filled sausage casing being discharged at a speed which is set in dependence upon a set filling-material output characteristic. For obtaining sausages of identical length and volume in a natural casing, the sausage discharge speed is controlled according to the invention in compliance with a function which is applied to the set filling-material output characteristic and comprises charge-dependent parameters, the function simulating the actual filling-material output characteristic. In the apparatus of the invention, there is provided a control unit for controlling the speed of the length-adjusting device according to said charge-dependent function in dependence upon the set filling-material output characteristic.
