The present disclosure relates to a method and a filling machine for filling foodstuffs comprising a predetermined proportion of pieces of filling in a liquid. The pieces of filling are charged into a hopper and liquid is during the filling process added into the lower region of the hopper.

The present disclosure refers to a filling machine and to a method for filling a foodstuff which comprises at least two components to be mixed, particularly for sausage production. The foodstuff may be filled into a filling hopper of the filling machine and thoroughly mixed with a mixing cam. The mixing cam may be driven via its own drive at different speeds according to a specific speed profile while the foodstuff is conveyed out of the lower portion of the filling hopper via a conveying mechanism and is filled via a filling unit.

A system for wireless monitoring of operating and production parameters of a clipping machine for food production having a sealed housing protected at least against moisture. The system comprises at least one measuring and control device for controlling the production process and measuring the operating and/or production parameters of the machine, sensors for determining operating parameters of the machine, devices for determining production parameters of the machine, at least one wireless communication device, a user interface and display device, and at least one smart device having at least an optical reading unit, wherein the at least one wireless communication device is configured to generate login details for wireless communication and encrypt the login details into a binary code which can be read by the optical reading unit of the smart device via the user interface and display device.

A food-processing system having a metering pump for filling a casing with food material, a linker for forming links in the filled casing and depositing a linked strand on a conveyor, and a plurality of servo motors arranged to drive each of a plurality of driven components of the processing system. The food-processing system being implemented according to a two-step ramp-up method that enables increased control of a first end and a second end of the linked strand using a first speed, and enables faster processing of the linked strand between the ends at a second speed higher than the first speed.

The present disclosure relates to a filling machine and a method for filling of filling medium, in particular for the production of sausages with a hopper for accommodating filling medium, a conveyer for supplying the filling medium and a filling element, in particular a filling tube, as well as a device for measuring the filling level in the hopper. The device for measuring the filling level comprises a radar sensor.

A filling line is provided and includes a first filling machine having a first machine controller, and one or more second filling machines having a second machine controller, which is selectively operable independently of the first filling machine. The filling line also includes a data interface for connecting the machine controllers to each other for control communication. The machine controllers are configured to be operated reciprocally either in a slave control mode or in a master control mode, depending on control information provided. The slave control mode transmits read and write rights in respect of recipe-relevant process parameters to the machine controller operated in the master control mode, and the master control mode implements the transferred read and write rights in the machine controller operated in the master control mode. A method for operating such a filling line is also provided.

A filling machine includes a suspension device, and is operable to suspend sausages, in particular sausage chains, with a plurality of circulating suspension hooks. The suspension device includes an integrated weighing unit for weighing at least one sausage or at least one sausage chain.

The present invention relates to a system for wireless monitoring of operating and production parameters of a machine for food production, particularly a clipping machine, having a sealed housing protected at least against moisture. The system comprises at least one measuring and control device for controlling the production process executed by the machine and measuring the operating and/or production parameters of the machine, the at least one measuring and control device being arranged inside the sealed housing, operating parameter determining means for determining operating parameters of the machine, wherein the operating parameter determining means are arranged in the machine and are connected to the at least one measuring and control device, production parameter determining means for determining production parameters of the machine, wherein the production parameter determining means are arranged in the machine and are connected to the at least one measuring and control device, at least one wireless communication device which is arranged inside the sealed housing and is connected with the at least one measuring and control device, a user interface and display device which is provided outside the sealed housing, the user interface and display device being connected to the at least one measuring and control device, and at least one smart device having at least an optical reading unit, wherein the at least one wireless communication device is configured to generate login details for wireless communication and encrypt the login details into a binary code which can be read by the optical reading unit of the smart device via the user interface and display device.

A filling machine and a method for filling a pasty mass, in particular for the production of sausages, with a delivery pump for conveying the pasty mass with a first drive, and a dosing pump that is coupled to an outlet of the delivery pump and a transmission train via which the dosing pump is coupled to a second drive integrated into the filling machine housing.

The present disclosure relates to a method and a filling machine for filling foodstuffs comprising a predetermined proportion of pieces of filling in a liquid. The pieces of filling are charged into a hopper and liquid is during the filling process added into the lower region of the hopper.
