Abstract (en)

[origin: US4747767A] An apportioning apparatus, particularly for dispensing discrete metered quantities of comestible material, such as sausage meat, wherein a cutter is first moved parallel to a surface surrounding a nozzle outlet from which the comestible material is dispensed and wherein after cleanly cutting through the dispensed material emerging from the nozzle outlet, the cutter is advanced in a direction away from the nozzle outlet surface in order to effect a clean cutting process with the cutter then being returned to its initial position to commence a further cutting operation. The cutter is mounted to be driven and guided by an articulation mechanism which includes a power cylinder device and metering gear pumps operate to dispense the comestible material through one or a plurality of outlet nozzles at which the material is cut.
