Abstract

In the case of an apparatus for filling tubular or bag-shaped packagings with a paste-like product, said apparatus including a fill pipe (1) and a holder for a casing brake that is arranged at the fill pipe (1), the pull-off movement is effected by means of a pivoting and pulling movement when the fill pipe (5) is pivoted away. This means that the casing brake is able to assume three sturdy positions in relation to the fill pipe (5) whilst not taking up much space and is able to be removed from the pipe (5) in a simple manner for changing a packaging tube.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for subdividing flexible tubular packages. Such devices are used, in particular, in sausage production. During sausage production, the flexible packaging tube is tied off by tie-off elements. Then the tie-off elements are spread out in parallel to the axis of the flexible tube. The invention relates to the coordination of this spreading movement with a deflecting appliance of a subsequent removal appliance for transporting away the stuffed sausage. By this means the distance between the removal appliance and the tie-off elements is always low.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for sub-dividing supplied tubular packaging (2) into packaging units, comprising two displacement sub-assemblies (3, 4) that are designed to tie up the tubular packaging (2). The rear displacement sub-assembly (4), (in terms of the displacement of the tubular packaging (2)), can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the packaging tube (2). The device also comprises a support element (7) for supporting the tubular packaging (2), said element being connected to the rear displacement sub-assembly (4). The support element (7) permits the tubular packaging (2) to be transported in a secure manner.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for tightening a tubular casing filled with a product by means of several pairs of displacers, wherein the mutually overlapping displacers of each pair encompass an opening, both displacers adjoining to the encompassed opening in two overlapping points per pair. The displacers are configured for a linear tightening movement depending on the varying size of the openings, the openings being located one behind the other in the axial direction of the tubular casing encompassing a passage. The openings are not congruent with the passage, the overlapping points being at a distance from the passage during the predominant part of the tightening movement. The invention allows the subdivision of the filled tubular casing into packaging units, thereby preventing or reducing the risk of damages to the tubular casing.
