Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a suspension unit and a method for taking up and transporting sausage loops with a guide rail and hooks circulating around the guide rail, where the guide rail has an elongate front side and an oppositely disposed rear side. The guide rail is inclined relative to a horizontal plane such that the front side is at a higher level than the rear side.
Claims19
A suspension unit for taking up and transporting sausage loops with hooks circulating around a guide rail, where said guide rail has an elongate front side and an oppositely disposed rear side, wherein said guide rail is inclined relative to a horizontal plane such that said front side is at a higher level than said rear side, and wherein said guide rail is pivotable about an axis of rotation by a pivot angle α.
A method for suspending sausage loops on a suspension unit, the suspension unit including hooks circulating around a guide rail, where said guide rail has an elongate front side and an oppositely disposed rear side, and said guide rail is inclined relative to a horizontal plane such that said front side is at a higher level than said rear side,
- receiving separation points of sausage chains in a deflection region of said suspension unit by said hooks,
- moving said sausage chains simultaneously downstream of said deflection region in said direction of transport upwardly and transversely to said direction of transport.
A stuffing machine with a linking line and a suspension unit for taking up and transporting sausage loops with hooks circulating around a guide rail, where said guide rail has an elongate front side and an oppositely disposed rear side, wherein said guide rail is inclined relative to a horizontal plane such that said front side is at a higher level than said rear side.
