Patent number: 9185917Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided for the manufacture of sausages. In one example, a method for manufacturing sausages with a filling machine comprises ejecting a mass through a filling tube into a sausage casing ruffled on the filling tube, and exerting a brake force on the sausage casing via a sausage casing brake on a braking area of a brake ring pressing onto the sausage casing, wherein the braking area extends around a longitudinal axis of the filling tube such that the braking area presses onto a part, and not the entirety, of a circumference of the sausage casing in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and wherein the brake force is distributed in a direction along the longitudinal axis.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2015Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Albert Handtmann Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co.
