  • Feeder for meat pieces made of entire muscles for a piston stuffing machine
    Patent number: 7314405
    Abstract: Incorporates buckets (3) open on their top in which the meat pieces are loaded, moving on traction device (4) that execute a step by step motion towards the feeding area located between the piston (1) and the body of the stuffing machine (2), where the meat piece is pushed by the piston (1) towards the body of the stuffing machine (2) for compacting and subsequently wrapping it. The buckets (3) have open front and rear faces to facilitate the run of the piston (1) and the exit of the meat piece towards the body of the stuffing machine (2). In addition, a device is provided for facilitating the centered position of the bucket with respect to the position of the piston (1) in the feeding area.
