<p>For use in typical sausage casing peeling apparatus which utilizes vacuum applied to a peeling wheel to peel the casing from the sausage and vacuum applied to a discharge wheel to carry the meat-free casing to a discharge opening. The sausage casing breaker includes structure for establishing a ratio between the linear velocities at the circumferences of the peeling wheel and the discharge wheel with the linear velocity at the circumference of the discharge wheel exceeding the linear velocity at the circumference of the peeling wheel. Since the vacuum causes the meat-free casing to be firmly attached to these two wheels, tension of the casing develops as the two wheels are rotatably driven. The magnitude of the tension is sufficient to cause the casing to break intermittently at predetermined locations along the length of the casing. These broken fragments are considerably easier to handle than is the usual long continuous string of casing.</p> |
