The subject matter of the invention is a sausage packaging apparatus for filling pasty stuffing material into tubular casing material, with a filling pipe (1) which opens at a filling zone (5) and, on its outside, has a receptacle for gathered tubular casing material (80), SO that, in order to fill a sausage (8), the casing material (80), which is sealed on one side, is pulled off from the filling pipe (1) under the pressure of the stuffing material (85) and, when a certain size is reached, is sealed by a sealing device (2), and with a removal device (4), which comprises a moving belt (40), for the sausage (8) filled in this manner. The apparatus according to the invention is characterized in that the moving belt (40) is provided with a drive (43) which can be adjusted in rotational speed and is actuated by a regulating module (64) of a control unit (6), and in that a growth measuring device is provided for the sausage (8), which device has speed measuring means (7) arranged at the filling zone (5), an evaluation unit (67) for determining a growth rate of the sausage (8) and a synchronizing unit (62) which activates the regulating module (64) in such a manner that synchronism is achieved between speed of the moving belt (40) and the growth rate. The invention permits a uniform pulling off of the casing material (80) from the filling pipe (1) and therefore an increased stuffing quality of the sausages (8) produced in this manner.
