ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for intermittently dispensing a flowable foodstuff such as a sausage material into a container, e.g. a sausage casing, in portions of a predetermined size. A conveyor dispenses the foodstuff into the container and is deactivated when a quantity of the foodstuff has been placed into the container which is slightly less than the desired portion. After deactivation a small terminal mass of the foodstuff continues to flow into the container and the terminal mass represents the remainder to bring the dispensed foodstuff up to the desired portion. During each operating cycle the terminal mass is measured and this measurement is used during the next operating cycle to determine when the conveyor should be deactivated so that the next terminal mass brings the just dispensed portion up to the desired level.
