Zusammenfassung:A FOOD PROCESSING SYSTEM (10) COMPRISING A COOKING APPARATUS (12) AND A COOLING APPARATUS (14). THE APPARATUS (12, 14) ARE SIMILAR AND ARE CONFIGURED FOR PROCESSING SAUSAGES WHICH HAVE CASINGS WHICH ARE FRAGILE AND EASILY RUPTURED. THE APPARATUS (12) COMPRISES A PROCESSING VESSEL (16) FOR CONTAINING A COOKING LIQUID, A FEED CHUTE (18), A GUIDE MEANS IN THE FORM OF JETS (56.1), (56.2) AND (56.3), A SCREW CONVEYER (22) AND A DISCHARGE CONVEYER (24). THE SAUSAGES ARE FED INTO THE VESSEL (16) VIA FEED CHUTE (18). THE JETS (56.1), (56.2) AND (56.3) GUIDE THE SAUSAGES INTO OPTIMAL POSITIONS RELATIVE TO THE SCREW CONVEYER (22) WHICH CONVEYS THE SAUSAGES TO THE DISCHARGE CONVEYER (24). THE JETS (56.1), (56.2) AND (56.3) ALSO SEPARATE THE SAUSAGES ENSURING THAT THE SAUSAGES DO NOT ?BUNCH UP? WHEN DEPOSITED INTO THE VESSEL (16) AND ALSO ENSURE THAT THE SAUSAGES ARE ALIGNED AND TRAVEL IN A DIRECTION SUBSTANTIALLY PARALLEL TO THE AXIS OF ROTATION OF THE SCREW CONVEYER (22) THEREBY TO REDUCE IMPACT FORCES APPLIED TO THE SAUSAGES BY THE CONVEYER (22).
