Skewer machine for continuously producing food on skewers

Abstract

A skewering machine for producing food on skewers, of the type that uses a plurality of containers/trays provided with cells according to the pieces of food to be skewered, wherein skewering is obtained by pre-piercing the food pieces with steel needles, envisages that, after pre-piercing, skewering of the food pieces with each skewer is obtained in synchronism with extraction of the respective pre-piercing needle such that advance of the skewer in the food pieces is constantly guided in the hole left by the corresponding needle; the pre-piercing of the food pieces and the arrangement thereof on the skewers being obtained by continuous movement elements without interrupting the motion of the containers/trays. Skewering of the food pieces is obtained with continuous motion via a plurality of pre-piercing moving elements and of respective thrust moving elements, the moving elements being set in a revolver-type arrangement on at least one rotary drum.
