Definitions
- a further object of this invention is to provide a convenient arrangement for retaining the sleeve to the stuffing tube as the sleeve is placed on the tube.
- a still further object of this invention is to provide a convenient arrangement for the sleeve to be automatically removed from the stuffing tube after the natural casing has been filled with meat emulsion upon leaving the outer surface of the sleeve.
- a method of stuffing natural casings with sausage material involves taking a plurality of natural casings of different lengths and diameters; pre-loading each of the casings on elongated hollow open ended sleeves shorter than the casings and having a diameter less than the casings by telescoping the casings on the outer surfaces of the sleeves, and tying an open end of the casings over the open ends of the sleeves; slidably mounting the sleeves on the open end of a meat stuffing tube of a sausage encasing machine; extruding meat emulsion through the stuffing tube into the casing mounted on the sleeve until the sleeve is slidably removed from the tube caused in part by the movement of meat emulsion entering the casing; removing the sleeve from the stuffing tube, repeating the use of the sleeve by preloading the sleeve with another natural casing; and sequentially filling the casings on the preloaded sleeves with meat emulsion in accord
- a natural casing sausage making machine has a frame, a meat emulsion pump, and a hollow stuffing tube connected to the pump and having a discharge end.
- a hollow open-ended sleeve is slidably mounted on the stuffing tube and has a discharge end registering with the discharge end of the stuffing tube.
- the sleeve is preloaded with a length of natural casing, which extends over at least a portion of the length of the sleeve.
- a radial flange on the end of the sleeve opposite the discharge end thereof abuts a radial flange or other stop element on the stuffing tube to automatically insure that the discharge end of the sleeve and tube register with each other.
- a detent element, preferably an annular radial groove in the stuffing tube can receive a registering annular rib on the inner diameter of the sleeve to yielding hold the sleeve in place in the time.
- the tube is conveniently moved longitudinally forwardly towards a twisting and linking mechanism.
- a twisting and linking mechanism When the casing is filled, the tube with the sleeve thereon is longitudinally moved away from the twisting and linking mechanism.
- a means for withdrawing the stuffing tube from the sleeve such as a pivotal brake element is moved into the reverse longitudinal path of the radial flange of the sleeve to prevent it from moving rearwardly, whereupon the tube slidably withdraws from inside the sleeve, and the sleeve automatically drops to a suitable container for reuse without having to be handled by the machine operator.
- FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through a pre-loaded sleeve mounted on a stuffing tube of this invention
- FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view similar to FIG. 1 but shows an alternate form of preloaded sleeve
- FIG. 2A is a partial elevational view at an enlarged scale showing the lefthand end of the stuffing tube in FIG. 2 ;
- FIG. 2B is an enlarged scale sectional view of the lefthand end of the sleeve in FIG. 2 ;
- FIG. 2C is a perspective view of the sleeve of FIG. 2 rotated 90 degrees to more fully illustrate its construction
- FIG. 3 is an end elevation of the device of FIG. 2 as viewed from the righthand end of FIG. 2 with the casing of FIG. 2 not being shown for clarity purposes;
- FIG. 4 is a view similar to that of FIG. 1 but shows a brake element in place to facilitate removal of the sleeve from the tube;
- FIG. 5 is an end elevational view of FIG. 4 as seen from the lefthand of FIG. 4 ;
- FIG. 6 is a plan view of the basic components of a sausage making machine.
- a conventional sausage making machine 10 has a frame 11 , a pump 12 connected to a source of meat emulsion (not shown), a twisting mechanism 16 , a linking mechanism 18 , a discharge horn 20 , and a conveyor 22 .
- the stuffing horns 14 ( FIGS. 1 and 4 ) and 14 A ( FIG. 2 ) have an annular flange 24 extending radially outwardly at a location spaced from their discharge ends 26 .
- horn 14 A has an annular groove 28 formed therein immediately forwardly of the flange 24 .
- a hollow casing mounting sleeve is slidably placed on each of the stuffing horns. See sleeve 30 on horns 14 in FIGS. 1 and 4 , and sleeve 30 A on horn 14 A in FIG. 2 .
- the length of each sleeve spans the distance between the flanges 24 and the discharge ends 26 of each stuffing horn.
- the sleeves all have an annular flange 32 of a diameter greater than flanges 24 , and forwardly located discharge end 34 which each register with the discharge ends 26 of the stuffing tubes.
- the flanges 32 all abut flanges 24 on the stuffing tubes.
- Sleeve 30 A has a protruding annular ring 36 thereon within flange 32 .
- Ring 36 is complimentary in shape to annular groove 28 on stuffing horn 14 A ( FIG. 2 ) and normally dwells with the groove 28 to yieldingly hold the sleeve 30 A on the stuffing tube 14 A.
- An elongated slot 38 ( FIG. 2C ) permits the plastic sleeve 30 A to flex slightly so that the ring 36 snaps into groove 28 on tube 14 A (FIG. 2 ).
- a brake element 40 is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , and is pivotally mounted on frame 11 by means of pin 42 and bracket 44 .
- a suitable power means (not shown) is adapted to cause brake element 40 to pivot between positions A and B as shown in FIG. 5 .
- brake element will dwell behind flange 32 of the sleeves 30 and 30 A and prevent the sleeves from moving longitudinally rearwardly when the stuffing tubes are withdrawn in a rearward direction at the completion of a sausage filling cycle.
- the withdrawal of the stuffing tubes from the sleeves allows the sleeves to drop into a suitable container (not shown) for further preloading with natural casings 46 .
- a plurality of casings 46 are preloaded on sleeves 30 or 30 A.
- the pre-loaded sleeves are slidably inserted over the forward ends of the tubes to assume the positions shown in FIGS. 1 , 2 and 4 .
- sleeve 30 A it is slightly flexed by means of slot 38 to permit annular ring 36 to snap into groove 28 to yieldably retain the sleeve on the tube.
- brake element 40 it will normally be in position A so as to engage flange 32 on the sleeves, but not flange 24 on the stuffing tubes.
- the forward ends 48 of casings 46 extend just beyond the formal discharge ends of the sleeves and tubes as shown in FIGS. 1 , 2 and 4 , and are closed in any convenient way (e.g., tie element 50 ). The closing takes place at or during pre-loading.
- the stuffing tubes are then conventionally moved forward so that their discharge ends are adjacent linker 18 .
- the pump 12 is then started to pump meat emulsion into and through the stuffing tubes.
- the pressure of the meat emulsion engaging the closed ends of the casings moves the casings off of the tubes into the twister 16 .
- the pump is stopped; and the stuffing tubes are withdrawn.
- the sleeves are either manually removed from the stuffing tubes (FIGS. 1 and 4 ), or are automatically removed through the above-described action of brake element 40 .
- a new preloaded sleeve is then replaced on the stuffing tube, and the cycle repeats itself.
