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 receiving and transporting sausage loops with hooks rotating around a guide rail, the guide rail having an elongated front side and an opposite rear side, wherein
- the guide rail is inclined to a horizontal plane in such a way that the front side is at a higher level than the rear side.
A method for suspending sausage loops on a suspension unit with hooks rotating around a guide rail, the guide rail having an elongated front side and an opposite rear side, wherein the guide rail is inclined to a horizontal plane in such a way that the front side is at a higher level than the rear side, wherein compartment points of sausage chains are taken over by the hooks in a deflection region of the suspension unit, then after the deflection region are moved simultaneously in a transport direction, upwards and transversely to the transport direction.
A filling machine with a calibration line and a suspension unit, the suspension unit for receiving and transporting sausage loops with hooks rotating around a guide rail, the guide rail having an elongated front side and an opposite rear side, wherein the guide rail is inclined to a horizontal plane in such a way that the front side is at a higher level than the rear side.
