Device for filling tubular casings

The invention relates to a device for filling tubular casings with pasty filling material, in particular for filling sausage casings with sausage meat and for closing the filled casings, the device being a filling machine having at least one filling tube and a closing machine, which has a ktarchlaßöffnung for the filled envelope, guides for the punch of a clipping machine and for one clip each, a clip closing die and a rake movable transversely to the longitudinal extension of the filling tube for gathering the Cover includes before closing with the clip.

In such devices, the passage opening for the filled envelope be relatively large so that the filled envelope can pass through here unhindered.

After the desired length of a casing section has been filled and passed through the passage opening has moved through it, the casing is here compressed with the rake to remove the pasty filling material from the point

Using the clip-closing die, do the sheath bent around and pressed tightly so that the sheath is in place is locked.

This arrangement is now necessarily asymmetrical. The lock part against which the sausage casing is pushed by the rake is pressed, can namely not be arranged in the vicinity of the center line of the filled casing, otherwise the Case would hit against this lock part during the filling process and would thereby be deflected laterally. For this Basically, the sausage casing is moved laterally away from the center line when it is gathered together, which is not just one Damage to the sausage casing can result, but also causes an asymmetrical closing.

It is known to make the Fül.lrohr laterally movable (DE-OS 32 06 675.9) to avoid these disadvantages. However, such a solution to the problems is disadvantageous in many cases. Such a device cannot produce satisfactory results either, if more than one at the same time tubular casing is to be filled and the two running parallel to one another through the sealing machine Sleeves are to be connected and closed by a single clip.

The object of the invention is therefore to create a device of the type mentioned at the beginning which avoid the disadvantages mentioned. In particular, it is the object of the invention to provide a device create, with which more than one tubular cover can be closed at the same time.

The solution according to the invention is that the closing machine has two packers movable transversely to the longitudinal extent of the filling pipe.

In contrast to previously known devices, the shell is not placed between a fixed lock part and a movable rake pressed together, but zvisohen ^ wei such movable P.affern; In order to a symmetrical closing of the cover is possible. In particular, however, it is also possible to have two or more to close parallel filled envelopes symmetrically in this way.

In previously known devices in which the shell between a fixed lock part and a Packer is compressed, normally at least the fixed lock part has a guide for stamp and clip on. It is advantageously provided in the device according to the invention that Both packers have guides for stamp and clip, so that stamp and clip when closing the envelope are well managed.

The packer racks could for example be arranged to be displaceable in the transverse direction. Is advantageous but it is provided that the packer racks can be pivoted in the transverse direction, so that a step-free transition is better the guides for punch and clip in a machine part in front of it in the direction of locking of the clip can be reached on the tours in the Raffern.

It can be provided in particular that the device has more than one filling tube. To this

j several envelopes can be filled at the same time,

with the mentioned problems of asymmetrical closure due to the two transversely movable packers do not occur.

If the device has two filling tubes, so can jäweils two filled casings, in particular sausages are produced, which at both ends with a 'Clip linked together so that you can have more or

receives less ring-shaped structure from two sausages.

The invention is described below with the aid of an advantageous Embodiment described with reference to the drawings. Show it:

proper device; and

Fig. 2 is a side view of the essential parts

of the closing machine, seen in the direction of the line II-II in FIG. 1.

As can be seen from FIG. 1, one embodiment the figure according to the invention has two filling pipes 1 which are attached to a common flange 2 are, which in turn can be attached to a device, not shown, with which the pasty filling material

is fed in the direction of arrows 3.

In the embodiment shown, the filling pipes 1 do not run in a straight line, but have a relatively small distance in the vicinity of the flange 2, so that this flange 2 is not made unnecessarily large . At their other end they are at a greater distance, since a brake 4 known per se for the casing must be provided here next to one another at the exit of each filling tube 1, in particular a casing brake 4 when filling sausages. This casing brake has elastic annular lips known per se, with which the withdrawal speed of the casing or the casing is regulated by friction which is drawn onto the filling pipes 1 between flange 2 and casing brake 4 and which moves upward in FIG. 1 when it is filled with the product through the filling tubes.

As the casing is being filled, it moves upward in Figure 1 (in fact the casing is moving usually in the horizontal direction). The packer rakes 6 shown in Fig. 1 are pivoted to the side, so that the filled envelope can move freely. This packer 6, the (Fig. 2) at 7 am Machine frame are pivotably mounted, are pivoted together into the position shown in Fig. 1, when the desired length of the envelope is filled. In doing so, they push the product away from this part of the casing.

On their sides facing each other, the packer guides 8 for a clip coming from above and the Stamp on the clip machine. The U-shaped clip will

bent together in the die 9 and pressed tightly by the punch, so that the casings are reliable here are connected to each other and locked. Then the packer 6 are pivoted outward again so that the filling process for the next sausage or another filled element can begin.

In Fig. 2 the capping machine is shown more clearly. The direction in which the filled casings go into the Moving the closing machine into it is indicated by the crosses 10, which are the extension of the center line correspond to the filling tubes.

As has already been explained, the packers 6 are pivotably mounted at 7 on the machine frame. That Pivoting can take place in a manner known per se by pneumatic piston-cylinder units; the corresponding pneumatic devices are indicated at 11. During the filling process, the Raffer, as indicated in Fig. 2 by dashed lines, outwardly out of the way of the swung away as the cases fill.

When the desired length of the casings has been filled, the packers 6 are shown in solid lines Swiveled position. Once this position has been reached, an actuating rod known per se is used 12 triggered the hydraulic actuation of the ram 13. This punch 13 pushes in the guides 8, the are provided in the packers 6, the clip 14 over the sheaths 15 gathered here, the

Legs of the U-shaped clip 14 then through the die 9, which is fastened in a holder 16, one on top of the other be bent together to Uni so that the covers 15 are closed and be connected to each other. The die 9 can either be designed so that the ends of the Just touch the legs of the U-shaped clips or move them past each other (roll clip).

The packer rakes 6 can then be pivoted apart again into the position shown in dashed lines in FIG that the filling process for the subsequent elements (e.g. sausages) can be continued.
