Paste filling and closing system - saves time by not braking closing mechanism to complete stand still in filling period

摘要

A continuous filling and closing system for pastes, such as sausage meat, in tubular packages applies a brake to the closing mechanism drive after a sheath has been released for the filling of the next sausage. During a filling operation, the drive of the closing mechanism at the given size of the portion is braked only to a level where it does not come to a complete standstill. This saves the time required to accelerate the closing mechanism drive to its full working speed. More time is available for filling operations so that the machine has a higher productivity.
