Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing foodstuffs such as sausages includes: a stuffed-casing forming and rotating device for forming a stuffed casing by discharging meat emulsion or ground meat as a stuffing material into an unstuffed casing formed of a natural intestine, and for rotating the stuffed casing via the unstuffed casing in a direction R about an axis X; a stuffed-casing constriction-forming and conveying device for producing a twisted portion in the stuffed casing by causing the stuffed casing formed by the stuffed-casing forming and rotating device and rotating in the direction R to be consecutively squeezed and constricted at a predetermined interval, and for conveying the stuffed casing, in which the twisted portion has occurred, in a direction A; and a cutting device for consecutively separating at the twisted portions the stuffed casing which has been formed by the stuffed-casing constriction-forming and conveying device.
Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1), especially for growing plants, having at least one pot (2) in which the base is provided with a plurality of openings (10). Each opening (10) has a first part (12) which is formed in the base (3) and extends up to the pot wall (4). Each opening (10) also has a second part (13) which is formed in an area of the pot wall (4) located close to the base and which is adjacent to said first part (12). The first part (12) of the opening (10) is covered in the inner space of the pot by forming lateral passage openings (20) with a ridge (15) which is at least partially set at a distance from the base (3). The root tips die as soon as they reach the passage openings (20) between the ridge (15) and the base (3) since they come in contact with light and air. As a result, undesired turning growth of the roots is prevented in a simple manner.
