Title: Process and device for the input and carrying away of smoking or cooking rods for automatic suspension of a plurality of sausages
Inventor: STEINBIS HERR FRITZ KARL
IPC: A22C15/00
Filed: 1990-09-10
Abstract: A method for introduction and removal of smoking or cooking bars into or from a station for the automatic suspension of sausages provided with loops, on a respective bar which is firmly tensioned at one end, proceeds as follows: the bars are initially brought into a ready position one after another in a horizontal position from a place of storage. At this point in each case a bar is firmly tensioned at one end and taken to the station for suspension by a horizontal movement. Finally the loaded bar is grasped from below at both ends and taken in the same direction as before to a waiting station, at which a number of loaded bars are collected for transfer in batches to a smoking or cooking trolley. The method operates with virtually no idle times and is feasible with a single operator who is largely independent of the filling and suspension rhythm.
