摘要:
Apparatus for forming a chain of sausage links is described in which the formed links are less likely to unwind. The apparatus includes a conveyor (10) for moving a tubular food casing (18) filled with a food emulsion around an axis (12), the conveyor having a plurality of crimping (14a-h) and twisting (15a-h) means for forming a continuous adjacent links. The conveyor (10) moves the links through a semicircular path past station (A-I) where twisting and crimping operations are performed. The links so formed have a first set twisted in one direction about the tubular food casing axis and a second set of adjacent links twisted in the opposite direction. The twisted links are then fed to apparatus (90) for arranging the twisted sets of links in vertical hanging loops (91) using a screw thread (104) of variable decreasing pitch with clamps (96) for clamping between the oppositely twisted sets of links so that as the twisted links move along the screw thread (104), oppositely twisted sets of links form hanging loops which have little tendency to unwind.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for forming or separating sausage links is disclosed. The apparatus has a series of pairs of forming and cutting arms mounted on a circular plate. The arms are moved into contact with the sausage casing at sequentially spaced points along the length of the casing. As a pair of forming arms contact the casing from opposite sides of the casing, they force the food emulsion within the casing away from the point of contact forming a link end. There is a cutting element at the end of a slot in each arm which cuts the casing between the links when the arms overlap.

Apparatus and method for producing a plait-like portion on a tubular packaging casing, which accommodates a filling material in particular sausage meat, wherein the plait-like portion is at least approximately free of filling material and extends along a longitudinal plait-axis (77). The apparatus comprises a first displacer unit (50a) with a first pair of displacer elements (60a) being reversibly movable between an opened and a closed position perpendicular to the longitudinal plait-axis. A displacer clearance (78) is being created between the first pair of displacer elements, which surrounds the longitudinal plait-axis, in which the tubular packaging casing is being gathered, when the first pair of displacer elements is in the closed position. Beyond that the apparatus comprises a second displacer unit (50b) with a second pair of displacer elements (60b) also being reversibly movable between an opened and a closed position perpendicular to the longitudinal plait-axis. Again a displacer clearance is being created between the second pair of displacer elements, which surrounds the longitudinal plait-axis, in which the tubular packaging casing is being gathered, when the second pair of displacer elements is in the closed position. The second pair of displacer elements is reversibly movable between a narrow position, in which the first displacer unit is adjacent to the second displacer unit, and a spread position, in which the second displacer unit is moved away from the first displacer unit, parallel to the longitudinal plait-axis. Furthermore, the apparatus comprises a first drive unit (10) for the movement of the first and second pair of displacer elements between the opened and closed position. The first drive unit comprises an adjustment device (20) rotatable around a pivot axis (36) essentially parallel to the longitudinal plait-axis. The pivot axis of the adjustment device is adjustable for changing the size of the displacer clearance created by the first and second pair of displacer elements.

An apparatus for separating sausage links is disclosed. The apparatus has a series of pairs (34) of cutting arms (70, 72) mounted on a circular plate (60). The arms are moved into contact with the sausage links (58). As a pair of cutting arms contact the sausage links from opposite sides, they force the links away from the point of contact. There is a cutting element (64) at the end of each arm which cuts the casing between the links when the arms overlap.
摘要:
L'invention concerne un dispositif de mise en portion de saucisses à partir d'une saucisse continue. Le dispositif comprend notamment une platine (2) rotative munie d'une succession d'organes de serrage disposés selon un cercle centré autour de l'axe de la platine, comportant une paire de pinces mobiles, les pinces étant animées par la rotation de la platine dans un mouvement de va et vient entre une position d'ouverture et de fermeture, la saucisse continue étant serrée entre les pinces dans la position de fermeture et tirée par lesdites pinces pour s'enrouler autour de la platine lors de sa rotation. Chaque pince possède un bord avant de pincement entrant en contact avec la saucisse, et en ce qu'en position de fermeture, les bords avant des deux pinces se chevauchent complétement sur une bande de façon à exercer sur le boyau un déplacement transversal à l'axe longitudinal de la saucisse continue.
