ES2275394B1 - IMPROVEMENTS INTRODUCED IN PATENT N 9502045 "ACCESSORY TO REMOVE THE AIR FROM THE CARNICO ENVIRONMENT, IN THE FILLING PROCESS WITH VERTICAL PISTON DUTY. - Google Patents

Abstract

It comprises two metal parts in stainless steel, of which part of the piece (1) fits inside the piece (2), leaving a gap (3) through which the air extracted from the sausage circulates in the groove (4) , which is aspirated by the vacuum channeled to the outlet (5). The stuffing stuffing is forced by the stuffing machine to the cone (7) whereby the stuffing comes out through the exit hole, filling the cylindrical wrap, previously placed in the piece (2). The air between the envelope and the filling, as well as that existing in the filling, is extracted by the depression channeled to the groove (4). The improvement consists in the creation of holes (15) and a chamfering (14) at the end of the piece (2), in order to improve the extraction performance and facilitate the placement of the casing in the funnel.

Description

Improvements introduced in patent number 9502045: "Accessory to extract the air from the meat sausage, in the filling process with vertical piston filling machine ".

Object of the addition

The object is the invention of an accessory valid for all vertical piston stuffers, which only with replacing the conventional funnel with the patented one (P9502045), it is possible to stuff in vacuum. The improvement to introduce has as purpose to allow a better extraction of air and water, while facilitates the placement of the continuous tubular envelope (gut).

Background of the invention

In the state of the art the continuous vacuum fillers, which use vacuum to absorb the meat mass of the hopper, thus compacting it. It is also known another method and its corresponding machine that extracts the sausage air at the time of extrusion, said method, use the vacuum accompanied by other systems to stuff automatically plastic envelopes without waste, thus eliminating workforce.

Description of the invention and the improvement made

The accessory comprises two parts, the funnel extractor and the machine that provides the vacuum needed to system operation, said vacuum is supplied parallel to the operation of the stuffer. Both parts mentioned are joined by a flexible silicone tube. Funnel  extractor, replaces the conventional funnel in the stuffers of vertical piston, this one, consists of two distinct parts, in which one of them is introduced into the other, thus creating a double funnel, which once assembled, leave a slack between both pieces, this slack will be the one that will drive the air and water out of the continuous tubular envelope.

There are different diameters, to be used according to the caliber of the continuous tubular envelope. The improvement consists of the realization of holes and a chamfering at the end of the extractor funnel tube, specifically in the outer piece, in order to improve the performance in the air and water extraction, and to facilitate the placement of the gut in the funnel

Description of a preferred embodiment

As represented in the mentioned figures, it can be seen that the accessory for extracting the meat sausage air consists of two parts, the funnel extractor (8) and the corresponding vacuum generating machine or negative pressure (9).

The extractor funnel is mounted on the stuffer (10), and is connected by a flexible silicone tube (12) with the solid and liquid separator filter (13), located in the depressing machine (9).

Through an electrical connection or radio signal (11), the simultaneous operation of the stuffer is achieved (10) and the depressing machine (9).

The extractor funnel is basically composed of two parts, the internal funnel (1), and the external one (2). Funnel internal consists of a turned part, which houses a cone (7) for the entry of meat mass into the cylindrical tube welded to said piece. The external funnel is formed by a hollow cylindrical piece to which a tube extending the tube is concentrically welded inner hole, in said cylindrical piece a pin is housed (5), which allows the extraction of the extracted air (from the enclosure) continuous tubular) to the filter. It is precisely in this piece where have made the corresponding improvements that have resulted in this document, and consist of chamfering the end of the tube (14), which allows faster and safer gut placement and of the realization of a series of drills at the same end (15) which increase the efficiency of air extraction.

Both pieces are easily assembled, introducing part of the internal funnel (1), into the external funnel (2), the O-ring (6) ensures the tightness between them. Thanks to the gap between the two tubes, a ducting (3), through which the extracted air circulates in the groove (4), which in turn is absorbed by the depression created by the machine and driven from the socket (5) to the machine filter empty (11).

The operation is as follows:

The mass is introduced under pressure from the stuffer through the cone (7), which channels it to the end exit where the groove (4) is about five millimeters existing, thanks to the channeling created by the slack between the two funnels (1) and (2), through which the air extracted from the  atmosphere between the cylindrical envelope of the sausage (16) and the dough (17) that fills it, as well as air and water (18) mass content (17) meat.

Negative pressure is provided. simultaneously with the operation of the stuffer (10).

Claims (2)

1. Improvements introduced in Patent No. 9502045 "Accessories for extracting the air from the meat sausage in the filling process with vertical piston stuffing machine" consisting of two parts, one is the extractor funnel and the other the corresponding negative pressure generating machine , joined together by a flexible silicone tube (12). The extractor funnel that replaces the conventional one in the vertical piston stuffing machine consists of two cylindrical tubes (1, 2). Inside the cylindrical tube (1) circulates the meat mass from the stuffing machine, outside the tube (2) slide the cylindrical envelope of the sausage (16) to be filled and through the clearance (3) existing between both circulates the air extracted in the groove (4), preposed a few millimeters in relation to the internal funnel characterized in that there are holes near the end of the external funnel (15) in order to improve the performance in the extraction of air and water existing in the atmosphere between the cylindrical sausage wrap and meat dough. 2. Improvements introduced in Patent No. 9502045, according to claim 1, characterized in that at the end of the outer funnel there is a chamfering (14) in order to facilitate the placement of the cylindrical envelope of the sausage (16) and ensure that it does not suffer No drilling the same at the time of this process.
