Pressing device

A pressing device for pressing meat products, comprising:

• a pressing chamber that extends along a longitudinal axis and into which a product to be pressed can be inserted,
• wherein the pressing chamber comprises at least one counter-element and at least one contact element,
• wherein the at least one contact element is movable in a direction of the at least one counter-element,
• wherein the at least one contact element and the at least one counter-element cooperate such that the product inserted into the pressing chamber can be compressed between the at least one counter-element and the at least one contact element,
• wherein the pressing chamber has a lateral inlet which extends in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the pressing chamber and through which the product to be pressed can be inserted into the pressing chamber, with at least one of the at least one counter-element and the at least one contact element being configured to selectively release or block the lateral inlet;
• and
• at least one servomotor that is configured to move the at least one contact element.

• wherein the at least one contact element and the at least one counter-element cooperate such that the product inserted into the pressing chamber can be compressed between the at least one counter-element and the at least one contact element,
• wherein the pressing chamber has a longitudinal outlet through which the pressed product can be guided out of the pressing chamber along the direction defined by the longitudinal axis of the pressing chamber,
• wherein at least one of the at least one counter-element or the at least one contact element being configured to selectively release or block the longitudinal outlet, and
• wherein the longitudinal outlet is blocked during the pressing;
• and
• at least one servomotor that is configured to move the at least one contact element.

A pressing device for pressing meat products, comprising:

• a holding structure;
• a pressing chamber supported within the holding structure and that extends along a longitudinal axis and into which a product to be pressed can be inserted,
• wherein the pressing chamber comprises:
• at least one counter-element and at least one contact element,
• wherein the at least one contact element is movable in a direction of the at least one counter-element,
• wherein the at least one contact element and the at least one counter-element cooperate such that the product inserted into the pressing chamber can be compressed between the at least one counter-element and the at least one contact element,
• a lateral inlet through which the product to be pressed is inserted into the pressing chamber, and
• a longitudinal outlet through which the pressed product is guided out of the pressing chamber along a direction defined by a longitudinal axis of the pressing chamber;
• and
• an intermediate frame for receiving and transmitting pressing forces to the holding structure arranged between at least one of:
• the holding structure and the lateral inlet or between the holding structure and the longitudinal outlet;
• and
• at least one servomotor that is configured to move the at least one contact element.
