Patent number: 7597612Abstract: A method and a device for the closed-loop level control and for the controlled evacuation of paste mass, in particular sausage meat, wherein the vacuum hopper comprises an inlet for feeding paste mass, in particular sausage meat, as well as an outlet for ejecting the paste mast an inlet valve, which is arranged at the inlet, wherein a negative pressure can be produced in the vacuum hopper. In order to influence the degree of evacuation in the inflowing mass, the inlet valve comprises in the open state an inlet gap S for the paste mass, the gap height (h) of which can be controlled to influence the degree of evacuation of the paste mass.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2007Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: Albert H. Handtmann Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Bernd Maile, Martin Staudenrausch

Patent number: 7524240Abstract: In order to manufacture a sausage skein of any geometrical external contour, a sausage-forming device has a coextrusion head for coextruding a paste mass and a casing enclosing the mass, wherein the extrusion head is provided with a filling tube for ejecting the paste mass and an extrusion die assigned to the filling tube with an extrusion gap for the casing material, wherein the filling tube exhibits, at least in the region of the ejection end, a cross-sectional shape deviating from the circular shape and the extrusion gap exhibits a cross-sectional shape deviating from the annular ring.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2006Date of Patent: April 28, 2009Assignee: Albert H. Handtmann Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Gerhard Mueller, Manfred Baechtle

Patent number: 7479058Abstract: A device (3) for portioning a string of material (2) moving in the conveying direction (F), particularly a string of sausage, into individual sections (2a) of a predetermined length, including at least one portioning tool (18, 18a, 18b, 19, 19a, 19b, 119a, 119b), which is movable in a circular path around an axis in a manner that it can be moved transversely with respect to the conveying direction (F) into the string of material (2) and out of the string of material and follows the movement of the conveying direction (F) in a limited manner. The portioning tool is rotatable on a circular path around a first axis (20, 21) and on a second circular path around a second axis (16), wherein the axes (16, 20, 21) are arranged at a distance with respect to one another and the rotary movements around the first and around the second axis (16, and 20, 21, respectively) are formed in a manner controllable independent of one another.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2006Date of Patent: January 20, 2009Assignee: Albert H. Handtmann Maschinenf Abrik GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Manfred Baechtle, Michael Benz
