<p>The invention relates to a clipping machine for partitioning and closing a tubular packaging casing accommodating a filing material, in particular sausage meat. The clipping machine comprises at least a first and second displacer element pair (30, 35) which in relation to an axis (A) of the tubular packaging casing are arranged axially one after the other, and, which comprise each an upper displacer element and a lower displacer element (32, 34, 36, 38). Each pair of the displacer elements (30, 35) are linearly reversibly movable in a first and second plane from an open position, in which the displacer elements (32, 34, 36, 38) are in a maximum displacement to each other, to a closed position, in which the displacer elements (32, 34, 36, 38) are in a nearly minimum displacement to each other. A first linear guidance (40) comprises at least a first and second guiding rod (55, 65) for guiding the two pairs of the displacer elements (30, 35) in the first and second plane during their reversible linear movement from the open position to the closed position, and a first drive mechanism (50) for reversibly moving both pairs of the displacer elements (30, 35) from the open position to the closed position. The first and second guiding rods (55, 65) are positioned in a plane parallel to the first and second plane of the first and second pairs of the displacer elements (30, 35).</p> |
