The present invention concerns a double clipping apparatus for closing filled casings with clips (4a, 4b), on which the clipping-distance (X) can be adjusted without an exchange of components. This increases the flexibility of the double clipping apparatus with respect to changing production situations, which leads to an ease of work and to cost reductions. A further advantage is, that, through a change of the clip-distance (X), an influence on the positioning of the labels (13), which are printed in fixed distances on the casing, on the ready products can be exerted, whereby under involvement of a sensor (12) with an analyzing and control electronics a double clipping apparatus with automatic label positioning variable adjuster can be realized.
A double clipping apparatus for forming sausages from a filled sausage type packaging or from a filled casing by forming gathered and voided sections between separate, adjacent sausages having a void section therebetween and installing in each section two clips at an adjustable distance from each other, comprising a variable adjuster mechanism for adjusting the distance between the clips attached in said section.
A double clipping apparatus for forming sausages from filled tubular packagings or filled casings by forming gathered and voided sections and installing in each section at a time two clips at a distance from each other, wherein said distance is manually or automatically adjustable during operation of said apparatus.
A double clipping apparatus for forming sausages with clipped ends from a filled casing by gathering and voiding sections of said casing and installing in each section at a time two clips at a distance from each other that each form the end of a different sausage, wherein said distance is adjustable, without an exchange of components, by means of a variable adjuster defining said distance.
A method for forming clipped sausages comprising the steps of:
A double clipping apparatus comprising, in combination:
