Das Produkt 9, in dem vorliegenden Fall geschnittene, gestapelte Wurstwaren, werden mit einer Einlegezunge 12 in Richtung der Halbschalen 3 transportiert. Die Neigung der Einlegezunge 12 gegenüber der Maschinenebene entspricht idealerweise der Neigung der Böden 18 gegenüber der Maschinenebene 10. In dem vorliegenden Fall erfolgt das Befüllen der Halbschalen 3 während ihres Vorschubes, in dem die Geschwindigkeit v2 des Produktes so gewählt wird, daß sie zumindest der Vorschubgeschwindigkeit der Halbschale v1 entspricht. Dadurch gleitet das Produkt 9 beim Befüllen zumindest in einem gewissen Umfang entlang der Wandung 16 und wird dadurch zumindest in einer Richtung ausgerichtet und der Wurststapel wird, wie im linken Teil der Abbildung erkennbar, auf einen nahezu gleichen Querschnitt gebracht. Wird die Geschwindigkeit v2 größer als die Vorschubgeschwindigkeit v1 gewählt, wird der Wurststapel beim Einfüllen gegen die Wandung 16 gedrückt, und es erfolgt eine stärkere Führung bzw. Ausrichtung des Wurststapels an der Wandung 16. FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the method according to the invention for filling the packaging. The half-
In Figur 5 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Befüllverfahrens dargestellt, wobei in dem vorliegenden Fall die Füllung während des Stillstandes der Halbschale 3 erfolgt. Die Befüllung der Halbschalen 3 mit dem Produkt 9 erfolgt in dem vorliegenden Fall wiederum mit einer Einlegezunge, die jedoch bei diesem Beispiel rückziehbar ist (vgl. gestrichelte Darstellung), so daß das Produkt von oben in die Halbschale 3 fällt und dabei entlang der Wandung 16 geführt und/oder daran ausgerichtet wird. In einer Ausführungsform dieses erfindungsgemäßen Beispiels wird die Einlegezunge 12 so zurückgezogen und das Einlegeband 20 dabei so gestrafft, daß die Geschwindigkeit v2 des Produktes 9 null ist, so daß der Wurststapel von oben in die Halbschale 3 fällt und dabei entlang der Wandung 16 gleitet und dabei geführt und/oder ausgerichtet wird. In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird die Einlegezunge 12 so zurückgezogen und das Band 20 dabei so gestrafft, daß die Geschwindigkeit v2 > 0 beträgt, so daß der Wurststapel beim Herunterfallen eine leichte Vorwärtsbewegung ausführt und dabei beim Befüllen der Verpackungsschale 3 gegen die Wandung 16 gedrückt und dabei geführt und /oder ausgerichtet wird. FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of the filling method according to the invention, wherein in the present case the filling takes place during the stoppage of the half-
In Figur 6 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Befüllverfahrens dargestellt. Das Produkt 9 wird wie in Figur 4 beschrieben in die Halbschalen 3 gefüllt und danach mit einem Andrückmittel 21, das sich, wie durch den Doppelpfeil dargestellt, bewegt, zumindest teilweise gegen die Wandung 16 gedrückt und dabei vorzugsweise zusätzlich ausgerichtet, so daß der Wurststapel ein gleichmäßiges Kaliber aufweist, Der Fachmann erkennt, daß diese Art der Ausrichtung unabhängig von der Art des eigentlichen Befüllvorganges ist und daß dass Mittel 21 sich um größere Bereiche des Umfangs des Produktes 9 erstrecken kann. FIG. 6 shows a further embodiment of the filling method according to the invention. The
In Figur 7 ist im wesentlichen das Verpackungsverfahren gemäß Figur 5 dargestellt, nur daß in dem vorliegenden Fall die Einlegezunge 12 in die Halbschale 3 hineinragt, so daß das Produkt 9 beim Rückziehen der Einlegezunge 12 aus einer geringeren Höhe in die Verpackungshalbschale 3 hineinfällt als dies in Figur 5 der Fall ist. Für diese Ausrührungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens muß die Halbschale 3 so geformt sein, dass die Einlegezunge 12 nahezu bis zu der Wand 16 in die Halbschale hineinfahren kann. Vorzugsweise ist die Halschale rechteckig oder quadratisch. FIG. 7 essentially shows the packaging method according to FIG. 5, except that in the present case the
Figur 8 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Befüllverfahrens, bei dem der Wurststapel 9 vor dem Befüllen der Halbschale 3 mit einem Kalibrierungsmittel 17 auf einem zumindest nahezu gleichmäßigen Querschnitt gebracht wird. Danach gleitet das Produkt entweder in die Verpackungshalbschale und wird dabei zumindest teilweise an der Wand 16 geführt und/oder daran ausgerichtet oder das Produkt wird mit einem Stößel 22 in die Verpackung gedrückt und dabei entlang der Wandung 16 geführt und gegebenenfalls ausgerichtet. Der Fachmann erkennt, daß die Kalibriervorrichtung senkrecht zu dem Boden der Verpackungshalbschale 3 angeordnet ist. FIG. 8 shows a further embodiment of the filling method according to the invention, in which the
Figur 9 zeigt ein Verfahren zum Verschließen der befüllten Verpackungshalbschalen 3, die aus der Unterfolie 13 geformt worden sind. Die Halbschalen 2, die aus der Oberfolie 14 geformt worden sind, werden in der Maschinenebene mit den Halbschalen 3 zusammengeführt und durch den Niederhalter 15 vor dem Siegeln in der Siegelstation 23 zusammengehalten. Der Fachmann erkennt, dass sich der Drehpunkt 24 der Oberfolie 14 vorzugsweise nicht unterhalb des Produktes im Bereich des Drehpunktes befinden sollte. FIG. 9 shows a method for closing the filled packaging half-
