The disclosure relates to a device and a method for producing packages, in particular sachets, filled with liquid or pasty filling material, in particular with liquid or pasty food, with a co-extrusion device for co-extruding a strand made of curable casing material filled with the filling material, wherein the co-extrusion device comprises a filling tube for ejecting the filling material as well an extrusion nozzle being associated with the filling tube and having an extrusion gap for ejecting the casing material, the filling tube protrudes over the extrusion gap over a distance X such that the casing material is extruded through the extrusion gap onto the filling tube and can solidify along the filling tube. The protruding filling tube there expands at least in sections in the direction of the outlet opening and stretches the extruded casing to create a plump package.

Device and method for producing plump packages filled with liquid or pasty filling material

The disclosure relates to a device for constricting and/or separating a sausage strand moving in direction of transport with two separating devices which in relation to sausage strand are disposed opposite one another, each comprising: where a first end of respective connecting element is mounted to be rotatable in first disk at a respective distance r from first axis and a second end in second disk is mounted to be rotatable at same distance from second axis, where connecting elements are guided such that at least one displacement element, during its rotation about first axis, is always aligned at a predetermined angle relative to direction of transport.

Device and method for constricting and/or severing a sausage strand

The present invention relates to a method, a coextrusion apparatus and a filling machine including a coextrusion apparatus of the type in question, wherein, during production of the sausage strand, the ratio of the volume flow of the casing material to the volume flow of the inner mass is variable along the sausage strand.

Apparatus and method for producing coextruded products with a variable thickness of the casing material

A method for producing a foodstuff, in particular sausages, produced by coextrusion, including extruding a paste mass, coextruding a casing, and where a bonding agent is fed between paste mass and coextruded casing.

Method for producing a foodstuff by coextrusion

A device and a method for the manufacture of sausages from paste mass, in particular sausage meat, with a coextrusion head for coextruding the paste mass and a sausage casing, wherein the coextrusion head comprises a filling tube for the ejection of the paste mass as well as an extrusion die assigned to the filling tube with an extrusion gap for ejecting the easing material. In order to produce strong sausage casings, the filling tube protrudes by a distance X beyond the annular gap so that the casing material is extruded through the annular gap onto the filling tube and solidifies along the filling tube.

Device and method for manufacturing sausages

An apparatus for dividing a sausage strand includes at least two opposite spaced-apart guide elements having a distance which can be adapted to a sausage caliber such that the filled sausage strand can be moved between and through the guide elements in the transportation direction along a first axis and rotated by the guide elements about the first axis, and a means for jointly rotating the guide elements about the first axis. The sausage strand is first filled with a filling tube of a filling unit, and then guided in the transportation direction through the at least two opposite spaced-apart guide elements whose distance can be adapted to the sausage caliber, and the guide elements are rotated about a first axis extending along the transportation direction, wherein the filled sausage strand is also rotated about the first axis, the filled sausage strand being simultaneously supported at a place in the transportation direction behind the guide elements.

Apparatus and method for dividing a sausage strand

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.
