APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING PORTIONS OF MINCED FOODSTUFF FOR PACKAGING IN TRAYS OR THE LIKE

摘要

In a portioning device for use in connection with as foodstuff-mincing machine producing a continuous product stream of minced foodstuff through a perforated disc, a cutting element is provided for separating the product stream into portions of preselected size. By having a cutting blade (2) mounted to co-operate with the downstream side of the perforated disc (1), a relatively simple construction is provided and advantageously the movement of the cutting blade (2) is performed at a high speed, thereby avoiding the necessity of stopping the flow of product during the cutting operation even at high production rates.
