Abstract: A method for stuffing food products in casings comprising the steps that consist in inserting the product to be stuffed in a first casing, which is permeable to air, and in a second casing, which is impermeable to air and is arranged outside the first casing, creating an at least partial vacuum at least between the first casing and the second casing.

Abstract: A stuffing machine for food products, comprising a framework that supports at least one die, provided with a recess designed to receive a product to be stuffed, and pusher means adapted to translate the product to be stuffed, formed in the die, through a stuffing tube; at least one conveyor is also provided which is adapted to move the die along at least one forward path from at least one loading position, in which the die is adapted to receive the product to be stuffed, to a working position, in which the die is substantially at a region of action of the pusher means, and along at least one return path from the working position to the loading position; the conveyor is adapted to keep the die with the concavity of its recess directed upwardly along the forward path and along the return path.

Abstract: An automatic stuffing machine for food products, which comprises a base framework that supports at least one forming die of the product to be stuffed and a pusher adapted to cause the translation of the formed product through a stuffing tube; the machine has at least one tube changer body that supports at least two stuffing tubes and is actuated to move in order to bring, in each instance, one of the stuffing tubes to a working position, in which it is located substantially at the area of action of the pusher; furthermore elements are provided for removable joining between the forming die and the stuffing tube in the working position which are adapted to pass from an active condition, in which they provide a connection between the forming die and the stuffing tube in the working position, to an inactive condition.

Abstract: A churn for processing food products, comprising a rotating drum with an opening for loading and unloading the products, further comprising a hatch provided with elements for detachable coupling to the opening of the drum and comprising ports adapted to allow the outflow of water deposited on the bottom of the drum, elements being provided which are adapted to arrange themselves selectively in a position for opening and closing the ports.

Abstract: A meat tenderizing device, comprising: a supporting bed, which comprises a plurality of longitudinal members arranged in the direction of translational motion of pieces of meat, and a plurality of toothed rods, comprised between the longitudinal members so as to form a deck for conveying the pieces of meat; a head arranged above the supporting bed and comprising knives adapted to be inserted between the longitudinal members of the bed and provided with elements for movement, which comprise elements that are adapted to determine selectively a stroke of the knives in which the lower end position is located at at least one height that lies above, and at at least one height that lies below, the bed that supports the pieces of meat.

Abstract: A machine for preparing encased cured meats, comprising a first tube for conveying the product to a clipping head, the tube being adapted to be wrapped by a cellulose sheet designed to contain the cured meats and drawn continuously from a reel, and a second tube, which is arranged coaxially and externally to the first tube and is designed to be wrapped by a gauged wrapper and is provided with means for drawing the wrapper so that it is superimposed on the cellulose sheet at a braking device arranged upstream of the clipping head.
