Process and device for the subdivision of a pasty and compressible mass in portions, in particular of sausage meat by means of a vane cell pump

摘要

A process and apparatus for the subdivision of a pasty and compressible mass, in particular sausage meat, in portions by means of a vane cell pump. To achieve a high portioning accuracy in simple fashion, each conveying cell filled with sausage meat passes through a metering sector disposed between a compression sector and a discharge sector after having passed through the compression sector, an excessive amount of sausage meat being pressed back into the subsequent conveying cell still in communication with the inlet from the conveying cell with highly compressed sausage meat by means of a balancing cylinder piston unit located in the boundary area between the compression sector and the metering sector.
