Abstract:
A device for the transportation of elongate sausages exhibiting a curvature, the device having a first conveying device including two circulating conveyor belts or belt conveyors spaced apart from one another laterally, each having studs for randomly receiving the sausages. An end portion of a sausage can be received in two adjacent studs in each case. A free space is provided beneath the conveying belts or belt conveyors at least sectionally along the conveying path, in order to facilitate a swing-through of the sausages mounted on the conveyor belts or belt conveyors in the peripheral region so that they hang in the free space with the curvature facing downwards, said device has a lead component into which a sagging sausage runs, by which it is pivoted up in the direction of the conveying plane, and having a second conveying device for receiving the upwardly pivoted sausage.
