Patent number: 9894907Abstract: A casing brake assembly and a clipping machine for producing sausage-shaped products which includes such a casing brake assembly is presented. The casing brake assembly comprises a safety means comprising at least one tubular element and at least one switch element. The at least one tubular element is arranged coaxially with the tubular support means upstream with respect to a filling direction. The tubular element is axially spaced apart and moveably arranged with respect to the tubular support means. The switch element is stationary with respect to the tubular element and arranged for interacting with at least one safety means of the production apparatus. The casing brake assembly and a clipping machine using the casing brake assembly allow a high level of security for the operator.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2017Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: Poly-clip System GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Jörg Sames, Olaf Bienert

Patent number: 8870058Abstract: A supply of suspension elements, like suspension loops, are configured for being fed in a feeding direction to a clipping machine for producing sausage-shaped products, like sausages, and configured for being attached to said sausage-shaped products. The supply comprises a carrier strip having at least an upper and a lower surface as well as and two longitudinally extending edges arranged parallel to each other. The supply further comprises and a number of suspension elements attached to the upper or lower surface of the carrier strip in at least substantially regular intervals, wherein the carrier strip including the suspension elements is wound up, thereby forming a roll. At least one mark which is attached to the carrier strip at a predefined distance from its end.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2011Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Poly-clip System GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Detlef Ebert, Olaf Bienert

Patent number: 6219998Abstract: This invention consists in a method of sealing tubular or bag-shaped packaging casings (10) filled with a tough filling, where the packaging casing (10) is first of all compressed to an adjustable degree, so that a pinched area (34) is produced, beside which a neck without filling is then produced by crimping the packaging casing (10), which neck is subsequently, if necessary, extended and sealed by setting two closure clips. The invention also consists in a sealing device comprising a crimping element (24, 26) and an additional clamping means (28, 30) for compressing the package beside the crimping element.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 1998Date of Patent: April 24, 2001Assignee: Poly-Clip System GmbH & Co. KG.Inventors: Gerhard Demming, Olaf Bienert, Ortwin Ruschitschka
