Disclosed is a calibrating device for expanding and controlling the draw-off speed of a shirred tubular casing 4a from the stuffing horn 1 of a stuffing machine during the filling thereof. This device comprises a hollow calibrating pipe 2 having a central bore therethrough for mounting on the stuffing horn 1 of a stuffing machine, and an enlarged circumference 8 at one end thereof which applies a frictional force to the tubular casing 4 as the casing is drawn over the pipe during filling. At least the enlarged end 8 of the pipe 2, moreover, is made of a resilient material to provide this area with a variable circumference to eliminate damage to the casing due to variations in the size thereof. Means 3 are also provided for adjusting the effective circumference of the enlarged end 8 of the pipe 2.
摘要:
A device for deshirring, smoothing and braking a shirred tubular casing during stuffing of the tubular casing with a fluid material, such as a sausage mixture, comprising a substantially rigid hollow body with an outer circumferential surface having a substantially circular cross section and with a central opening having securing elements for receiving and releasably securing the hollow body on the outer surface of the stuffing horn of a stuffing device adjacent the stuffing horn outlet. The hollow body is disposed inside an unshirred end portion of the shirred tubular casing having a prescribed inner diameter, and said hollow body has a substantially annular, cylindrical form with a maximum external diameter which is smaller than the prescribed inner diameter of the unshirred tubular casing. The outer circumferential surface of the hollow body is provided with an annular recess having a substantially V-shaped or U-shaped cross section whereby the minimum diameter of the hollow body in the region of the recess is from 25 to 65 percent smaller than the maximum diameter of said hollow body. The device further comprises a braking unit for restricting the speed of withdrawal of the tubular casing during stuffing.

Disclosed is a supporting sheath for a longitudinally shirred packaging tube, comprising a generally tubular shaped supporting sheath comprised of a grid-like structure and having an inside diameter slightly larger than the outside diameter of the shirred packaging tube and a length substantially greater than the length of the shirred packaging tube, so that when a shirred packaging tube is placed inside of the supporting sheath, two protruding ends of the supporting sheath remain; and a pair of generally planar star-like disc elements, each including a central aperture therein and a plurality of point-like projections spaced around its outer circumference, each of the disc elements having an outer diameter defined by the ends of the point-like protrusions which is larger than the inside diameter of the supporting sheath; wherein the star-like disc elements are adapted to be slid over the protruding ends of the supporting sheath and are adapted to engage with their point-like protrusions the grid-openings of the supporting sheath when the sheath ends are folded back 180.degree. upon themselves. Also disclosed are a functional unit comprised of the shirred packaging tube and the supporting sheath as well as a method for producing the functional unit.
摘要:
An article of manufacture useful in the production of sausages comprising a hollow rod consisting of a longitudinally gathered packing tube and a surrounding support sheath of formable sheet material such as polyethylene with integral end walls each having a central opening therein, said integral end walls being formed in the shape of a truncated pyramid provided with at least two permanently shaped end wall edges radially arranged with respect to the center of the end walls; the end walls are formed by folding the projecting edges of the sheath to form outwardly-projecting, double-layer, triangular flaps; and heat-sealing the sides of the folds to each other; the openings in the end walls of the support sheath allow insertion of a filling tube of a filling machine into the hollow rod in the interior cavity of the support sheath.
摘要:
An article of manufacture useful in the production of sausages comprising a hollow rod consisting of longitudinally gathered packing tube and a surrounding support sheath of formable sheet material, such as polyethylene, with integral end walls each having a central opening therein, said integral end walls being formed by longitudinally axially twisting the end portions of the sheath and thereafter longitudinally compressing and buckling the twisted ends of the sheath; the openings in the ends walls of the support sheath allowing insertion of a filling tube of a filling machine into the hollow rod in the interior cavity of the support sheath and permitting ready withdrawal of the end of the packing tube from the support sheath in order to form a closed end on the tube prior to extruding sausage meat into the tube.
摘要:
An apparatus for stuffing a shirred tubular casing with a fluid material such as a sausage composition or pieces of ham comprising a stuffing horn having an aperture through which the fluid material is forced under pressure into the casing, a device located on the periphery of the stuffing horn and within the interior of the casing for smoothing and expanding the casing, the device comprising at least two disk-shaped planar bodies, at least one of which is rotatable in a plane parallel to and/or shiftable perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the stuffing horn, the outer circumference of each planar body being smaller than the inner circumference of the tubular casing, whereby the projection of the cross-sectional surfaces of the planar bodies in the direction of the longitudinal axis upon rotating or shifting of the bodies results in a total surface having a greater circumference than the inner circumference of the tubular casing.
摘要:
In one embodiment of the present invention, a process that uses a first processor is provided. The process includes the operation of blocking by the first processor of completion by a second processor of a configuration cycle. The process also includes the operation of selecting by the first processor of one procedure from a plurality of procedures that are associated with respective types of circuitry that may be used to permit the first processor to control a device. The one procedure is associated with one of the respective types of circuitry that is actually available to be used by the first processor.
摘要:
In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment may include controlling, at least in part, by a first device, whether a first signal line of a second device is coupled to a bus, and whether a second signal line of a third device is coupled to the bus. The method of this embodiment may also include, after the first and second signal lines are coupled to the bus, supplying from the first device to the second and third devices, via the first and second signal lines, one or more signals that, after being received by the second and third devices, may permit, at least in part, at least one of control and configuration by the first device of the second and third devices. Of course, many modifications, variations, and alternatives are possible without departing from this embodiment.
摘要:
The invention relates to films and tubular structures which are selectively permeable to liquids and gases which are based on a copolymer composed of a copolymerized fluorinated olefin, copolymerized vinyl acetate and, optionally, a copolymerized olefin. It is possible for the acetate groups of the copolymer to have been saponified to form OH groups. The films or tubular structures have in each case an inherent, latent capacity for modifying their structure and are at the same time oleophobic and oleophilic. The invention also embraces processes for the preparation of the shaped articles described and processes for modifying their structure. The invention also relates to the use of shaped articles according to the invention.
