Definitions
- the present invention refers to the packaging of food products and more particularly of sausaged meats and in a specific way, cooked hams.
- the cooked hams come into contact with the operator's hands and the atmosphere: they can therefore be contaminated with various seriousness; in any case, the preservation is noteably endangered.
- the powdered gelatine electrodeposition treatment of products has resolved this problem in an effective and efficient manner.
- the principle is based on the concept of saturation of free surface water by the function of the gelatine which has a great absorbing power (50 g of gelatine bind 1000 g of water).
- the solution of this problem consists of providing an automatic sausage bag packaging apparatus to be inserted into the packaging line downstream of the equipment for electro-deposition of gelatine on the food products.
- This equipment must be provided with means which allow the packaging bags to be withdrawn one at a time from a supply, opened, filled with the gelatine treated food product and sent to the subsequent packaging phase, all without any manual operation on the product.
- Document US-A-4 864 800 discloses a device and a method for bagging thin flexible members where the product is positioned by means of an inserter, one bag is withdrawn and opened, a chute is inserted into the bag and the filled bag is transferred to an outlet conveyor.
- the apparatus according to the invention is therefore constituted by the following units, in which the capital letters designating each unit correspond to the reference letters borne on the appended drawings.
- An electric control board controlled by a microprocessor is provided for the driving and controlling of each single operation and movement, with the possibility of programming the functions with relation to the format of the products.
- the working cycles occur automatically with controls determined by the condition of the packaging machine and the arrival of the product to be inserted.
- This automation is possible thanks to the adoption of a microprocessor (PLC) which controls and drives each individual operation and movement with the option of programming the functions with relation to the product format.
