Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a filling machine and to a method for filling a foodstuff which comprises at least two components to be mixed, particularly for sausage production. The foodstuff may be filled into a filling hopper of the filling machine and thoroughly mixed with a mixing cam. The mixing cam may be driven via its own drive at different speeds according to a specific speed profile while the foodstuff is conveyed out of the lower portion of the filling hopper via a conveying mechanism and is filled via a filling unit.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a filling machine and a method for filling up pasty or liquid masses, for example for sausage production, with a feed pump, in particular a vane pump, for conveying the pasty or liquid masses, a vacuum pump for generating a vacuum in the feed pump, in particular the vane cells of the vane pump, wherein the feed pump may be connected with the vacuum pump via a first channel and via an integrated collecting vessel for entrained ingredients. According to the present disclosure, a supply means is provided via which the feed pump may be optionally additionally connected with an external collecting vessel via the first channel. The operator may thus choose between two different operating modes with and without an external collecting vessel.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a filling machine and a method for filling of filling medium, in particular for the production of sausages with a hopper for accommodating filling medium, a conveyer for supplying the filling medium and a filling element, in particular a filling tube, as well as a device for measuring the filling level in the hopper. The device for measuring the filling level comprises a radar sensor.

Abstract: A filling machine and a method for filling a pasty mass, in particular for the production of sausages, with a delivery pump for conveying the pasty mass with a first drive, and a dosing pump that is coupled to an outlet of the delivery pump and a transmission train via which the dosing pump is coupled to a second drive integrated into the filling machine housing.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and a filling machine for filling foodstuffs comprising a predetermined proportion of pieces of filling in a liquid. The pieces of filling are charged into a hopper and liquid is during the filling process added into the lower region of the hopper.

Abstract: A filling machine and a method for intermediate cleaning of a filling machine, where the filling machine comprises a hopper for filling in a pasty substance, a conveying mechanism for conveying the pasty substance in the direction toward an outlet opening. The filling machine comprises at least one spraying device above or within the hopper for distributing the cleaning medium onto the hopper inner wall.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for aligning a filling machine and a respective filling machine. In the method, the height and/or the inclination of the filling machine is first measured according to an actual state. The measured values are transmitted to a calculation unit. The actual state of the height and/or the inclination is compared with a target state of the height and/or the inclination. The height and/or the inclination of the filling machine are then adjusted on the basis of the comparison.

Abstract: The invention relates to a filling machine for producing sausages and a method for monitoring the state of fouling of a collection container and/or a channel which is in communication with the collection container of such a filling machine, where the filling machine comprises a vane cell pump for delivering pasty mass, a vacuum pump for generating negative pressure of the vane cell pump, where the vane cell pump is via the collection container for the pasty mass that is dragged along in communication with the vacuum pump. The filling machine further comprises an inspection opening that is via a channel in communication with the collection container for inspecting the channel and/or the collection container.
