DEVICE FOR REGULATING THE FILLING LEVEL AND FOR EVACUATING REGULATED MASS PASTOSA.

摘要

Vacuum hopper (1) for the production of sausage with an inlet (7) to feed pasty dough, especially stuffed meat, an outlet (13) to evacuate the dough, an intake valve (3) that is arranged in the inlet (7), where a low pressure can be generated in the vacuum hopper (1), where in the open state the intake valve (3) forms an inlet slit (S) for the dough, the valve (3) has at the entrance (7) a valve seat (9) and an opposite deflector plate (5), and the distance (h) between the valve seat (9) and the deflector plate (5) produces the height slit (h), characterized in that the slit height (h) in the open state of the inlet valve (3) can be adjusted to influence the degree of evacuation of the dough, and the baffle plate (5) is configured such that, on the side directed towards the valve seat (9) it comprises a recess (6) which, at least in the outer region Inside the inlet slit (S), from the central axis (M) of the valve has a segment (A) inclined downwards or diagonally downwards.
