An apparatus and system for loading items onto a rack is described. The rack loading apparatus is includes a stuffer / clipper for making sausages, a belt conveyor for receiving a sausage from the stuffer / clipper and conveying the sausage to a rotary conveyor, the rotary conveyor comprising a plurality of stages and having a loading side for receiving a sausage and an unloading side for discharging a sausage, a rack comprising a frame supporting a plurality of trays, a positioner to align the rack with the unloading side, a controller to cause the rotary conveyor to align a one of the plurality of stages on the loading side with the belt conveyor to receive a sausage from the stuffer / clipper and to rotate the rotary conveyor to align the one of the plurality of stages on the unloading side with a one of the plurality of trays, and a load pusher to discharge the sausage off the one of the plurality of stages and onto the one of the plurality of trays, the pusher comprising a plurality of tabs extending on a rotatable arm. In another embodiment, a rack loading apparatus for loading other manufactured items is described.

An apparatus for automatically delivering raw sausages to a smokehouse rack is described. A continuous rotating conveyor holds a plurality of half-tubular trays hung on gimbals. Sausages are extruded into a tray at a loading station, and the tray is carried around by the conveyor to an unloading station, where an arm causes the tray to tilt and to roll the sausage onto a smokehouse rack.

A method and an apparatus for suspending sausages, where sausages are taken up by suspension hooks moving on a circulation path and are conveyed, suspended from the suspension hooks, in a conveying direction into a removal area. At least a part of the suspension hooks is controllable independently of one another.

Portioning and / or transport apparatus for portioning and / or transporting sausages. The apparatus includes a conveyor device having at least one conveyor element which is drivable by a drive motor and which can be brought into contact with a sausage for conveying the sausages.

The invention relates to a sausage collating device and a method for collating sausages to form sausage groups of a predetermined number of sausages with a transport device for transporting spaced sausages and at least one accumulator element for accumulating the sausages, where the at least one accumulator element is for collating and is movable in the direction of transport of the transport device.

The invention relates to a device and a method for transferring sausage portions with a supply transport device, at least one removal transport device, and at least one ejector for ejecting at least one sausage portion from the supply transport device onto the removal transport device. The removal transport device comprises a lower transport device and a holding device disposed thereabove between which the at least one sausage portion is transported.

A device for treating individual sausages, including:a sorting device having an endless conveyor belt traveling around a triangular geometry and having rails or carrier bars, on which belt the sausages, which are loosely deposited onto an ascending run of the belt, are distributed individually into the rails or carrier bars;an endless first conveying device with individual rails or carrier bars to accept the sorted sausages, wherein each individual rail or carrier bar accommodates one sausage;a grouping device, in which the sausages delivered by the first conveying device are combined into groups;a second conveying device with receiving sections, each of which accommodates the sausages of one group, and into which the sausages, lying side by side, are transferred from the grouping device; anda transfer device having a gripper device for gripping a sausage group and for transferring and depositing the sausage group into a receiving container.

The invention relates to a packaging plant for packing sausages or other objects, comprising a manufacturing device, a buffer device, a feeding device, an insertion device, and a packaging machine, the buffer device comprising a length-variable transport section, and a method for operating a packaging plant according to the invention.

The present invention relates to a clipping machine for producing sausage-shaped products, like sausages, by filling a tubular or bag-shaped packaging casing with filling material and closing said filled tubular or bag-shaped packaging casing. The clipping machine includes a filling tube through which the filling material is fed into said tubular or bag-shaped packaging casing which is stored on said filling tube, a casing brake assembly arranged on the filling tube for limiting the movement of the tubular packaging casing at least while being filled, gathering means for gathering said filled tubular packaging casing and for forming a plait-like portion thereto, and a clipping device for applying at least one closure means, like a closure clip, to the plait-like portion formed on the filled tubular or bag-shaped packaging casing in a closing region. The clipping machine further comprises a housing defining at least a front wall, a rear wall, and two side walls of the clipping machine, for enclosing at least the clipping device and the gathering means. The housing includes at least one housing element arranged in the front wall of the housing for covering at least the closing region, wherein the at least one housing element is coupled to the clipping machine by a linking device including a shifting mechanism for reversibly shifting the housing element relative to the clipping machine, in a shifting direction, for granting access to the closing region of the clipping machine.

The present disclosure relates to a suspension unit and a method for taking up and transporting sausage loops with a guide rail and hooks circulating around the guide rail, where the guide rail has an elongate front side and an oppositely disposed rear side. The guide rail is inclined relative to a horizontal plane such that the front side is at a higher level than the rear side.

A method and an apparatus for suspending sausages, where sausages are taken up by suspension hooks moving on a circulation path and are conveyed, suspended from the suspension hooks, in a conveying direction into a removal area. At least a part of the suspension hooks is controllable independently of one another.

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.
