<p>An automatic control for terminating the filling of a sausage casing on a sausage casing machine (10) has a sensor (34) on the machine (10) to detect when the rearward end of a telescopic casing is closely adjacent the discharge end of a meat stuffing tube. The sensor (34) is connected to the meat emulsion pump (14) for stopping the pump (14) under such conditions. A timer (30) or pulse counter is associated with the computer (36) on the machine (10) to 'measure' when the rearward end of the casing substantially reaches the discharge end of the stuffing tube (16). The timer (30) or counter is operatively connected to the power system (not shown) for rendering the machine inoperative after a predetermined amount of time or pulses. The sensors (34) and timer (30) are connected to the above stated respective components through a computer (36) so that the computer (36) can automatically compensate for the operative time of the second cycle to accommodate for speed changes imposed on the power system in the second cycle. The method involves locating the sensor (34) at the above designated positions to permit the sensor (34) to shut down the pump (14) and to trigger the timer (30) to subsquently shut down the machine automatically.</p> |
