A closure module and a method for closing and/or separating filled sausage casings connected via a sausage neck, comprising two stamps movable relative to and towards each other and arranged such that a sausage neck can be placed therebetween, the stamps being capable of clamping the sausage neck in a closed condition, and further comprising a first and a second electrode, through which, in a closed condition of the stamps, a current can flow from the first electrode into the sausage neck and via the sausage neck into the second electrode.

A closure module and a method for closing and/or separating filled sausage casings connected via a sausage neck, comprising, in at least one example, a first electrode and a second electrode located opposite the first one, the electrodes being arranged such that a sausage neck can be placed therebetween and being adapted to be moved relative to each other and towards the sausage neck to such an extent that a current can flow from the first electrode into the sausage neck and via the sausage neck into the second electrode.

The invention shows a food casing comprising a hose casing and cover plates terminally attached thereto in a liquid tight manner, which cover plates cover the terminal cross-sectional openings of the hose casing. At least one of the cover plates has a filling opening comprising a check valve, which is passable for food mass filled in the hose casing and blocks against the leakage of food mass out of the hose casing.

The present invention relates to a method for producing sausage-shaped products, like sausages, containing a flowable filling material in a tubular or bag-shaped packaging casing, on a clipping machine having a control unit for controlling the clipping machine, the method comprises the steps of feeding the filling material in a feeding direction into the tubular or bag-shaped packaging casing stored on a filling tube and being closed at the front end by a closure means, like a closure clip, gathering the filled tubular or bag-shaped packaging casing by gathering means arranged downstream the filling tube, for forming a plait-like portion thereto, and placing and closing at least one closure means on the plait-like portion for closing the filled tubular or bag-shaped packaging casing. The method includes the steps of starting the production process, automatically capturing at least one value of at least one parameter of the clipping machine and setting the captured value as the target value for said parameter in the further production process. The present invention further relates to a clipping machine on which the inventive method may be executed.
