Method and device for producing sausages

摘要

A string of sausages (46) is manufactured by the ejection of sausage meat from a tube into the end-section of a reefed length of sausage skin (10). The tube (8) nozzle has a deflector with passages (14) which impart an outward radial motion by the meat into the filling sausage skin and dilating the sausage skin. Sausage meat is ejected by a pump through a filling tube (8) which rotates about its axis (7) and is covered by a reefed artificial or natural sausage skin (10). As the sausage is filled it is captured by pairs of external grips (42) which support and grip the expanding and advancing sausage. The tube (8) rotation imparts a twist action which creates a neck and a separation point (44) between adjacent sausages.
