The invention relates to a stuffing/dosing machine comprising a tilting
hopper. The machine comprises a hopper with a hermetic cover bearing a
screw feeder and a narrowed base which communicates with an antechamber,
said antechamber communicating in turn with at least one forming chamber
which is connected to an outlet. Moreover, at least one actuated piston
performs a stroke with one first section in the antechamber and a second
section in the forming chamber. First and second structural units, which
are formed respectively by the aforementioned hopper, cover, screw feeder
and narrowed base and by said antechamber, forming chambers, pistons and
actuation means, can be tilted independently between operating positions
and cleaning and maintenance positions in relation to fixed frame
comprising the valve and the outlet.
