METHOD FOR AUTOMATED MANUFACTURE OF RAW SMOKED SAUSAGE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A22C11/00 A23L1/314 A23L1/317 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry, in particular, to a sausage production method. The method envisages milling and mixing meat parts or pieces, starter cultures and spices. Meat parts or pieces are delivered by means of a delivery system (that is in particular represents a system (1, 2) with multiple cylinders with pistons which system may be controlled, independent from the milling machine, by an individual drive) into the milling and mixing chamber (14). Compression, temperature increase and damage to the material being charged in the process of delivery are excluded. Connected to the milling and mixing chamber is a drying vessel (6) containing replaceable absorbents for withdrawal or water or water steam from the material being treated. The material, having undergone preliminary treatment and reduced in volume, is divided into portions (while in a loose condition), weighed onto the lower film (8) and then covered with the upper film (10) with the air trapped between the films removed. The material or mince is shaped inside the waterproof films and subjected to pressure treatment until the isoelectric point is achieved inside the material. During the curing stage, a constant temperature is maintained. Preliminarily shaped mince blanks are subjected to high pressure treatment for deactivation of microorganisms and then taken out of the film casing and subjected to the stage of drying and further treatment.

EFFECT: invention ensures uniform drying of the product, careful treatment of the source material and production of a high quality ready product.
