Patent ID: 8556687

Claim:
A system for producing sausage-like products comprising: a filling machine for filling a tubular casing with viscous or granular stuff; a clipping machine for dividing the filled tubular casing into sausage-like products and closing the sausage-like products; a transportation device for feeding at least one sausage-like product out of the clipping machine and for storing the sausage-like product on a rod-like elements; a hanging line for accommodating the rod-like elements; a robotic device for gripping the rod-like elements; a control unit for controlling the system; and, a sensing device for sensing the weight of at least one of the sausage-like products, the sensing device being coupled to the control unit and wherein the control unit comprises a computing element for computing and outputting a control signal for at least the clipping machine on the basis of the weight of the at least one sausage-like product.
