Abstract
A device for use with a sausage stuffer having a first tubular conduit forming a flow passage for sausage mix and a laterally orientated second tubular conduit intersecting and disposed generally normal to said first conduit and laterally offset therefrom, a member positioned within the second conduit and extending entirely across the flow passage and laterally outwardly thereof into said second conduit, said member being provided with a plurality of slotted openings of reduced cross-sectional configuration to entrap undesirable hard particles within sausage mix such as bone, gristle, and the like so that such may be subsequently removed by way of said second conduit.
Claims9
A device for removing hard particles from sausage mix and the like comprising, a longitudinally orientated first tubular conduit forming a flow passage for said sausage mix under pressure therethrough, a laterally orientated second tubular conduit intersecting and disposed generally normal to said first conduit so that at least portions of said second conduit are laterally offset from said flow passage, a member positiond within said second conduit and extending entirely across said flow passage, said member including a plurality of continuous slotted openings having a cross-sectional configuration narrowing in the flow direction of said mix disposed therethrough, at least portions of said openings extending at least partially across and generally normal to said flow passage and extending laterally outwardly of said flow passage at least partially into said offset portions of said second conduit and means operatively associated with said second conduit to gain access to said member for removal therefrom.
