ABSTRACT:
A portioning machine and a method for filling containers with food material is disclosed. The machine is particularly useful for meat products which are packed in plastic containers having a lip or edge, and prevents the food particles remaining on this lip and hence interfering with the sealing of the package. The machine has at least two filling stations and a pumping means to supply food material, each filling station is adapted to hold a container. The improvement comprises a filling tube connected to a slide portion in a slidable relationship with a stationary portion such that the filling tube may be positioned over either filling station, the slide portion having a slot which connects and overlaps with an aperture in the stationary portion, such that food material is pumped from pumping means through the stationary portion to the slide portion when the filling tube is positioned in either filling station, a telescopic nozzle at the end of the filling tube to extend downwards into a container in the filling station, and a combined knife and flap at the end of the nozzle to cut the food material and close the nozzle.
