Claims20
A suspension device for suspending sausages or sausage chains, comprising a plurality of circulating suspension hooks, wherein
- the suspension device comprises an integrated weighing unit for weighing at least one sausage or at least one sausage chain, wherein the weighing unit is fixed to the suspension device and comprises a weighing tray for depositing thereon the at least one sausage or the at least one sausage chain and/or a weighing tray for depositing thereon a smoke stick in the form of a fork, the weighing tray being connected to a weighing cell.
A suspension device for suspending sausages or sausage chains, comprising a plurality of circulating suspension hooks, wherein
- the suspension device comprises an integrated weighing unit for weighing at least one sausage or at least one sausage chain, wherein at least one of the suspension hooks is connected to a weighing cell such that the weight of the at least one sausage or the at least one sausage chain can be determined on the at least one of the suspension hooks.
A suspension device for suspending sausages or sausage chains, comprising a plurality of circulating suspension hooks, wherein
- the suspension device comprises an integrated weighing unit for weighing at least one sausage or at least one sausage chain, wherein the weighing unit is able to transmit weighing signals to an evaluation unit, a control unit of the filling machine being configured such that filling parameters of a filling process can be adapted depending on the weight signals detected, the filling parameters including a performance of the conveyor and/or a portion volume.
