FLOW LINE CONTROL METHOD, FLOW FOR PRODUCTION OF SAUSAGE-SHAPED PRODUCTS, FLOW LINE CLIPPER AND FLOW LINE LOADING MACHINE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A22C11/00 A22C15/00 B65G47/61 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: flow line (FCB) for production of sausage-shaped products (W), accepting a free-flowing material to be packed (for example, sausage mash, a sealant, a granulate) inside a sleeve-string packaging shell, contains at least: one clipper (C) wherein packaging shell, filled with the material to be packed, is portioned into be individual sausage-shaped products (W) by way of clamping clips fitting and is separated from the remaining packaging shell stock (notably, in the course of clamping clips fitting onto the sausage-shaped product (W) at least one flexible suspension element (AE) may be mounted that is supplied in the clipper (C) in accordance with the flow line cycle; and one loading machine (B) that loads accumulation bars (SP), one by one, with sausage-shaped products (W) for further treatment of the sausage-shaped products (W). For the accumulation bars (SP) loading with sausage-shaped products (W) transporting elements are used (320) that continuously circulate along the motion path and accept, sausage-shaped products (W) discharged from the clipper (C) within the receipt zone (UB, UC) arranged between the clipper (C) and the loading machine (B). At least the circulation rate of the loading machine (B) transporting elements (320) is adjusted based on an adjustable parameter derived from the clipper (C).

EFFECT: one ensures coordinated operation of the loading machine and the clipper at, consequently, at the production rate in the clipper; additionally enabled is continuous operation of the transporter transporting elements whereof continuously circulate.
