Abstract
A device and a method of manufacturing and filling up product in the form of fine sausage meat, in particular an emulsion, with a feed means for the product, a feed pump for transporting the product, at least one downstream fine mincer as well as a filling and/or portioning means arranged downstream of the fine mincer for filling up the produced fine sausage meat or the emulsion, respectively.
Claims20
A vacuum filler for manufacturing and filling up product in the form of one of a fine sausage meat or a fine sausage meat emulsion, comprising:
- a feed means for meat products;
- a feed pump for transporting the product in the form of an adjustable and constant flow of product, wherein the product is fed to mincing stages under pressure generated by the feed pump wherein the capacity of the feed pump can be adjusted to a certain filling amount per time unit so that pressure losses in the respective mincing stages can be compensated;
- a coarse mincer positioned downstream from and supplied product from the feed pump;
- at least one fine mincer positioned downstream from the coarse mincer wherein the at least one fine mincer minces the product into a smaller grain size than a grain size of the product minced by the coarse mincer, wherein each of the feed pump, the coarse mincer and the at least one fine mincer are driven with a separate drive motor;
- a filling tube arranged downstream of the at least one fine mincer, for filling up the produced fine sausage meat or the emulsion into a sausage casing;
- and
- a central control unit connected to the drive motor of each of the feed pump, the coarse mincer and the at least one fine mincer, and adjusting a speed of a rotating mincing tool of each of the coarse and the at least one fine mincers depending on at least one of the following parameters:
- discharge of the feed pump, type of product, degree of mincing and type of mincing tool, the vacuum filler being embodied as a closed system, so that a vacuum can already be set in the feed pump and the complete vacuum filler is pressure tight, the feed pump, the coarse mincer and at least one further fine mincer are firmly connected via pipings in this sequence and the filling tube directly follows the fine mincer so that a closed system is formed.
