method and device for detecting wursthu00fcllenplatzern and / or a wursthu00fcllenende at the sausage factory

摘要

In a process to fill sausage skins with sausage meat, the expanding skin is monitored for possible fracture by application of a current to the skin. The current flow is maintained at a known value while the skin remains intact or reaches the end of the feed. Also claimed is a suitable assembly monitoring the occurrence of a sausage fracture, in which the electrical parameter monitored is resistance, alternating or direct voltage or current. The parameter is detected via electrodes applied to the sausage skin.
