Abstract
A method and a filling machine for the temperature control of a mass flow in a filling machine, wherein the mass flow passes through several sections. In order to also process temperature-sensitive types of filling material reliably with the minimum outlay, the temperature of the filling material is measured in several sections of the filling machine and the temperature of the filling material is controlled by a heating/cooling device to a certain temperature in dependence of the measured temperatures.
Claims23
Method for the temperature control of at least one mass flow in a filling machine for the manufacture of sausages, comprising passing the mass flow through several sections of a filling machine , measuring, in the several sections of the filling machine , the temperature of the mass or of components through which the mass flows, controlling the temperature of the mass by a heating/cooling device to a certain temperature in dependence of the measured temperatures and at least measuring the temperature in one of a section of a filling hopper, a suction intake section, and in or after a conveying mechanism.
Filling machine for the manufacture of sausages from at least one paste mass, which passes through several appropriate sections, comprising a suction intake section, a filling hopper, a conveying mechanism, a filling tube, one or several temperature sensors, which are arranged in various sections of the filling machine, a heating/cooling device for heating or cooling the mass, and a control device, which controls the temperature of the mass in dependence of the measured temperatures wherein the temperature sensor or the temperature sensors are arranged such temperature is measured in one of a certain section or certain sections of the filling machine and the control device is designed such that the measured temperature is used for the temperature control in one of a different section or different sections.
