  • Patent number: 7204258
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method, whereby a cleaning and disinfecting circuit is established for the vacuum channels of an upper sealing tool (1) and a lower sealing tool (2). In the present case, the vacuum pump (3) is switched off and the connecting line to the sealing station is sealed or disconnected from the flanges at the point (10). The vacuum channels of the upper sealing station (1) are connected to the vacuum channels of the lower sealing tool (2) by means of an adapter (13) in a fluid-tight manner. The fluid circuit is closed by a pump (14), a fluid container (15) and the associated pipes, which are connected to the flanges (11), (12). Said pump (14) pumps a cleaning and disinfecting fluid, in the present case active chlorine, into the vacuum channels of the upper sealing station (1).

  • Patent number: 7123685
    Abstract: The invention relates to continuously determining the fat content of meat. A conveyor belt is used on which the pieces of meat to be examined are advanced past a radiation source serving as a fat analyzing means. The attenuation of an X-ray beam emitted from the radiation source is measured by a detector to determine the fat content. A weighing device continuously determines the weight of the quantity of meat located on the conveyor belt at the time of the measurement. This also makes it possible to calculate the absolute fat content. The invention also relates to a method for automatically setting a defined fat content in a mixer. The examined meat is transferred from the conveyor belt and into the mixer. The accumulated fat content in the mixer is calculated, compared with a set value, and the conveyor belt is loaded with lean or fatty meat according to the result of this calculation.
