Abstract

See full text

A filling and portioning system for food products and a method for rotational speed control of a feeder and/or mixing arm and/or counterholding device present thereon for conveying the food product in a filling hopper are described. According thereto, the feeder/mixing arm in the filling hopper can be rotated about itself by way of a motor for conveying the food product and is driven independently of a downstream conveyor mechanism. The counterholding device is also arranged in the filling hopper and can optionally be rotated about itself by way of a motor for conveying the food product and is driven independently of a downstream conveyor mechanism. The rotational speed of at least one of the motors is controlled in an automated manner in dependence of at least one machine or product parameter measured during operation of the filling and portioning system.
