Abstract: Provided is a reclosable container including an assembly of a bin and a separate cover that is designed to close and lock the bin. The bin includes a bottom wall and a vertical side wall connected thereto, said side wall including an upper zone that surrounds an access opening of the bin. The cover includes an upper surface that is dimensioned to cover the access opening of the bin. A perimeter of the upper surface is provided with a cover profile, said cover profile being formed complementary to the upper zone of the bin, so that the cover profile can be placed abutting on the upper zone of the bin in order to close the access opening of the bin. Two opposite outer sides of the upper zone are each provided with a primary coupling body for locking the cover when the cover is placed in the closing position on the bin.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing co-extruded food products, comprising the processing steps of: A) co-extruding an elongate dough strand and a casing enclosing the elongate dough strand to form a non-coagulated food product, B) bringing the casing into contact with a salt solution, and C) dividing the encased elongate food strand into individual products, whereafter the co-extruded food products are subjected to an airflow. The invention also relates to a device for manufacturing co-extruded food products.

Abstract: In a method for moulding food patties from a food product comprising a food mass (5) having a substantially coherent structure formed by particles of the food product that are loosely connected to each other, for example ground meat, the food product is first supplied to a supply hopper (3). Food product is moved in the supply hopper to at least one discharge opening (8) of the supply hopper, from which it is discharged. The food product that has been discharged from the discharge opening of the supply hopper is fed into at least one pump chamber (12) of a positive displacement pump system. Subsequently, the food product in the pump chamber is positively displaced to an outlet opening of the pump chamber by the positive displacement pump system (20). The food product is discharged from the outlet opening of the pump chamber, and then fed into a moulding device having a plurality of mould cavities for molding the food patties.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for processing layered food products (40), comprising a conveyor (42) for transporting layered food products (40), and plural rollers (41) located above the conveyor (42) to contact the layered food products (40) transported on the conveyor (42). The invention also relates to a method for processing layered food products (40) lying on a conveyor (42) by subsequent groups of rollers (41) located above the conveyor (42).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a product holder (1) for holding food products to be transported through a processing room comprising: a carrier frame (2) having at least a longitudinal support structure and coupling ends connected to opposite sites of the longitudinal support structure; and a container formed by at least one curved contact segment (3a, 3b) for contacting the food products, wherein the at least one curved contact segment is detachably connectable to the carrier frame. The invention further relates to a transporting device comprising the product holder of the present invention and methods for assembling and disassembling the product holder of the present invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (2) for transferring longitudinally supplied elongate food products (4), such as for instance sausages. The sausages are placed here in a recess (10) of a rotatable holder body (9) and subsequently set down in lateral direction. The invention further relates to an assembly (1) of such a transfer device and a feed conveyor (3) for sausages connecting to the transfer device. The invention moreover relates to a method for transferring elongate food products such as sausages.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transport device (1) for carrying products with a displaceable carrying surface, comprising: a conveyor belt (3), a frame (2) provided with a belt guide (5-10) for holding the conveyor belt (3) displaceably, and a drive (4) for displacing the conveyor belt (3), wherein the belt guide (5-10) of the frame (2) is adjustable. The invention also relates to a method for allowing a conveyor belt (3) to connect to other devices.
