Abstract

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de transport et de chargement de produits carnés co-extrudés dans une machine d'emballage. L'invention comprend une seule ligne sur laquelle des produits carnés co-extrudés sont transportés à l'aide d'un transporteur de transfert linéaire vers un transporteur d'orientation sur lequel ils sont transférés. Le transporteur d'orientation établit un groupe de produits carnés co-extrudés qui est ensuite transporté depuis le transporteur d'orientation dans une cavité de la machine d'emballage à l'aide d'un dispositif de poussée. Il est envisagé qu'une ou plusieurs de ces lignes de traitement puissent fonctionner en parallèle et que diverses étapes puissent comporter des manœuvres par lots, telles que, par exemple, de multiples groupes qui sont poussés dans de multiples cavités simultanément.
