Abstract:
Process for the continuous manufacture of sausages, comprising the following steps:continuous feeding of a pair of sheets, one above and the other below tubes feeding the paste forming the product to be packaged,continuously forming at the upper sheet individual molds for the product to be packed;simultaneously forming at the lower sheet, individual molds corresponding to the molds of the upper sheet, but connected one to the other by cavities narrower than those of said individual molds, the size of which allows the housing of feeding tubes;tensioning the sheets at least at the sealing regions between them;longitudinally sealing the sheets on both sides of said individual molds;advancing said individual molds thus formed beyond the outlet of said feeding tubes, closing under pressure the narrowest cavity at the front region of the mold;filling the product to be packed under proper pressure, in a continuous way, along with the container of sheets shaped by the molds;pressure closing the narrowest cavity at the rear portion of the individual mold thus filled in, closing in turn the front part of the following mold, andheat sealing the narrowest cavities closed under pressure.
