Abstract
The device consists of a supply area (2) through which a conveyor belt (3) is fed above which a moistening station (4) is arranged by means of which the skin of the sausage is softened in order for the sausage to then be perforated and injected in order for said internal air flow to cause the skin to detach from the meat in the corresponding gripping and blowing station (6). It is then subjected to transversal cutting with a guillotine mechanism (16) and then to longitudinal cutting (18) while the skins are removed underneath by means of a pair of toothed wheels (23), the clean product coming out by way of an outlet conveyor belt (24).
