Description of BS EN 12463:2021 2021

1.1 General

This document applies to:

  • filling machines with cylinder and piston;

  • filling machines with feed intake hopper;

  • filling machines with vacuum hopper;

hereafter referred to as filling machines which process, e.g. meat, cheese and other pasty substances, excluding dry or frozen materials. They pump foodstuff into casings or bring it to a subsequent process.

This document applies also to the interchangeable equipment for filling machines with which a wide range of additional functions can be implemented. For example: portioning, depositing, mincing, co-extruding, dividing and forming.

This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to filling machines and interchangeable equipment, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer and also the reasonably foreseeable misuse (see Clause 4).

These significant hazards, hazardous situations and events can arise during all the life phases including transportation, assembly, dismantling, disabling and scrapping of filling machines and interchangeable equipment.

This document is not applicable to filling machines and interchangeable equipment which were manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.

The following filling machines and interchangeable equipment are not covered by this document:

  • Filling and sealing machines as described in EN 415‑3:1999+A1:2009;

  • Clipping machines as described in EN 13885:2005+A1:2010.

1.2 Types of filling machines and interchangeable equipment covered by this standard

1.2.1 Filling machines with cylinder and piston

Filling machines with cylinder and piston (see Figure 1) consist of the following main parts:

  • cylinder;

  • piston;

  • closing cover;

  • filling horn;

  • dividing device.

  • The material being processed will be fed by hand into the cylinder.

Filling machines with cylinder and piston can be fitted with a dividing device.

1.2.2 Filling machines with feed intake hopper

Filling machines with feed intake hopper (see Figure 2) consist of the following main parts:

  • feed intake hopper;

  • feeder;

  • filling horn.

The material being processed will be fed by hand (or optionally a loading device) into the feeding hopper of the filling machine.

Filling machines with feed intake hopper can be equipped with:

  • dividing device (see Figure 7a));

  • closing cover or photoelectric guard at the mouth of the feed intake hopper (see Figure 10);

  • pressure-sensitive protective device at the hopper edge (see Figure 10);

  • divided hopper (see Figure 11);

  • infeed auger (see Figure 12);

  • counter auger (see Figure 12);

  • step or ladder (see Figure 8 and Figure 9);

  • two-hand control device at the mouth of the feed intake hopper (see Figure 9).

1.2.3 Filling machines with vacuum hopper

Filling machines with vacuum hopper (see Figure 3) consist of the following main parts:

  • vacuum hopper;

  • feeder;

  • outlet;

  • closing cover;

  • inlet valve;

  • suction pipe;

  • storage container;

  • pipe connection inlet.

The material being processed will be fed by hand (or optionally a loading device) into the storage container.

Filling machines with vacuum hoppers can be equipped with:

  • dividing device;

  • infeed auger (see Figure 12);

  • counter auger (see Figure 12);

  • step or ladder (see Figure 8 and Figure 9).

1.2.4 Interchangeable equipment for filling machines

Interchangeable equipment are devices which can be assembled to filling machinery by the operator in order to attribute one or more new functions such as: portioning, twisting, voiding, forming, mincing. Interchangeable equipment does not operate independently. The interchangeable equipment will be actuated directly or by filling machines.

Interchangeable equipment dealt with in this document (see 5.3.5) are:

  • cutting device (see Figure 14);

  • forming device (see Figure 15);

  • twisting device (see Figure 16);

  • linking gear box (see Figure 17);

  • portioning device (see Figure 18);

  • holding device (see Figure 19);

  • mincing device (see Figure 20);

  • sausage production device (see Figure 21);

  • filling stream divider device (see Figure 22);

  • casing spooling device (see Figure 23);

  • co-extrusion device (see Figure 24).
