Abstract:
1. A method for portioning a sausage string generated by a filling machine into single sausage portions, having the following steps: transporting the sausage string in a direction of transport (T); portioning the sausage string with opposing portioning elements that engage in the sausage string; wherein a movement of each of the portioning elements is controlled along a freely adjustable track, and wherein a speed of the respective portioning elements in a direction perpendicular to the direction of transport (X) for the sausage string, when the respective portioning element moves from an outer surface of the sausage string into the sausage string, differs from a speed counter to this direction, perpendicular to the direction of transport for the sausage string, when the respective portioning element is retracted from the sausage string.
