Abstract: A method and a device for separating a sausage chain into single sausages, where filled, portioned sausages are initially transported with a first transport device and with a second transport device arranged behind the first transport device in the transport direction T. The portioning point between two consecutively arranged sausages is enlarged due to the transport speed of the second transport device being faster at least intermittently than the transport speed of the first transport device. The sausage chain is then parted at the portioning point in the second transport device.

Abstract: A device for filling casings, having a twist-off head which comprises circumferentially offset filling tubes and which is arranged on a support panel to be displaceable in axially parallel fashion and to be rotatable, and a rotatingly drivable casing brake which is axially aligned with a filling tube located in the filling position, the casing brake and the support panel being connected via a rigid shaft which comprises a support section extending towards the casing brake and a guide section extending centrally through the twist-off head, with a drive train being arranged in said shaft.

Abstract: A device and a method of manufacturing and filling up product in the form of fine sausage meat, in particular an emulsion, with a feed means for the product, a feed pump for transporting the product, at least one downstream fine mincer as well as a filling and/or portioning means arranged downstream of the fine mincer for filling up the produced fine sausage meat or the emulsion, respectively.

Abstract: An apparatus for a sausage-casing-sensitive division of stuffed sausage strands, having at least one pair of dividing elements for dividing the stuffed sausage strand and at least two guide elements between which the stuffed sausage strand is conveyed in the conveying direction. The distance between the guide elements can be adjusted in dependence upon the sausage caliber.

Abstract: A meat mincing machine and a method of producing minced foodstuffs, in particular minced meat, with an inlet, at least one blade on a following perforated disc, as well as with a separating device for separating and drawing off hard constituents wherein, to improve the weight accuracy, it has a device for the determination of the drawn-off amount of separated product.

Abstract: A device and a method for the manufacture of sausages from paste mass, in particular sausage meat, with a coextrusion head for coextruding the paste mass and a sausage casing, wherein the coextrusion head comprises a filling tube for the ejection of the paste mass as well as an extrusion die assigned to the filling tube with an extrusion gap for ejecting the easing material. In order to produce strong sausage casings, the filling tube protrudes by a distance X beyond the annular gap so that the casing material is extruded through the annular gap onto the filling tube and solidifies along the filling tube.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.
