摘要

Apparatus for consecutively metering discrete amounts of a divisible mass, particularly sausage meat, including feeding means (7, 96) for said mass adapted to be operated in time with the metering operation and followed by a power-operated cutoff device, the control element (6) of which is adapted to be controlled by a measuring device (28, 29, 30) also effective to control the control element (9) of the feeding means (7, 96) in proportion to the mass flowing therethrough, wherein positive control and coordination of the movements of the cutoff device (1) and the feeding means (7, 96) and substantially full utilization of the installed driving power at any moment is accomplished by providing that the control elements (6, 9) for the cutoff device (1) and the feeding means (7, 96) are actuated by one and the same fluid and are interconnected in series and/or by providing that the control element (6) for the cutoff device (1) is continually supplied with the full fluid flow from a fluid pressure source (10).
