Abstract: A method for producing a foodstuff, in particular sausages, produced by coextrusion, including extruding a paste mass, coextruding a casing, and where a bonding agent is fed between paste mass and coextruded casing.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for suspending sausages, where sausages are taken up by suspension hooks moving on a circulation path and are conveyed, suspended from the suspension hooks, in a conveying direction into a removal area. At least a part of the suspension hooks is controllable independently of one another.

Abstract: A shaping device and a method of forming rounded tips on the ends of sausages and of tying off and/or parting into individual portions a continuously produced sausage skein filled with paste material, with two oppositely located displacement assemblies, which move towards one another and between which the filled sausage skein can be moved in the transport direction, wherein the displacement assemblies are formed such that two opening sections are formed, which widen out in the transport direction, respectively opposite the transport direction, in a tying off and/or parting position between the two displacement assemblies.

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: An apparatus and a method for dividing a stuffed sausage skein, wherein a transport element pair is provided, including rotating opposite transport elements between which the stuffed sausage skein is conveyed in a transport direction and each of which include at least one dividing element. To be able to configure the length of the portions flexibly without mechanical adaptation, the apparatus comprises several adjacently arranged transport element pairs drivable independently of each other with corresponding dividing element pairs. The speed of the transport element pairs is adjusted such that the spacing between the points of separation corresponds to a predetermined length of the divided sausage skein.

Abstract: A device for producing sausages having at least two coextrusion heads for co-extruding strands of sausage meat which are encased with a casing material, a joint supply is provided for the sausage meat and/or a joint supply is provided for the casing material, each being connected via individual supply elements to the coextrusion heads. The device permits producing exact products where at least the supply means for the casing material and/or the associated supply elements regulating/controlling the volume and/or the pressure of the casting material flow.

Abstract: An apparatus for dividing a sausage strand includes at least two opposite spaced-apart guide elements having a distance which can be adapted to a sausage caliber such that the filled sausage strand can be moved between and through the guide elements in the transportation direction along a first axis and rotated by the guide elements about the first axis, and a means for jointly rotating the guide elements about the first axis. The sausage strand is first filled with a filling tube of a filling unit, and then guided in the transportation direction through the at least two opposite spaced-apart guide elements whose distance can be adapted to the sausage caliber, and the guide elements are rotated about a first axis extending along the transportation direction, wherein the filled sausage strand is also rotated about the first axis, the filled sausage strand being simultaneously supported at a place in the transportation direction behind the guide elements.
