The present invention solves the problem of clogging in the case of an apparatus for conducting a pasty mass, preferably sausage meat, under feed pressure through a tube, which carries said mass and the interior of which communicates via an annular groove and an annular gap with an external supply means for a lubricant which is to be forced under high pressure between the inner wall of the tube and the surface of the pasty mass, said problem being solved in such a way that an inner annular recess of the tube has arranged therein a sleeve-shaped sliding piston, the end face of which is acted upon by the lubricant in an annular groove, said sliding piston being adapted to be axially displaced within said inner annular recess against the force of a pretensioned spring in such a way that, in the case of low lubricant pressure, it closes the annular gap by means of an annular shoulder provided on the end face and protruding axially beyond the the annular groove in said end face and that, in the case of high lubricant pressure, it opens said annular gap so that no sausage meat can penetrate into the annular gap in the case of pressure fluctuations in the lubricant.

Apparatus for conducting a pasty mass under feed pressure through a tube

In a machine for filling sausage skins with sausage meat having a main part provided with a discharge means, a storage receptacle arranged on the main part, and a transport means for transporting the sausage meat from the storage receptacle to the discharge means, the improvement comprising in the upper part of the storage receptacle a wall component of the receptacle adapted to be pivoted away.

Machine for filling receptacles or sausage skins with sausage meat

A process and apparatus for drawing off deformable masses containing air, such as sausage masses. The mass is transferred in a stream from a supply space into a filling cylinder where a vacuum is generated relative to the space to remove air from the mass, and the transferred mass is then ejected from the filling cylinder by means of a piston. To transfer the mass quickly and remove air from it completely, the mass stream is guided, during its transfer into the filling cylinder in such a way that, as it enters the filling cylinder, it first moves towards the cylinder wall at an angle to the direction of the piston. Moreover, during filling the level of mass in the filling cylinder is maintained at an essentially constant filling height so that a constant volume of free space remains above the mass in the filling cylinder.

Process and apparatus for drawing off deformable masses containing air

Apparatus for automatic continuous or stepwise delivery of sausage loops hanging adjacent to one another from a receiver under which a smoking rod is arranged that is slidable in the feed direction of the receiver relative thereto.
