The invention relates to a device (1) and a method for producing food skewers comprising: a continuously rotating transport device (2) with a plurality of
loader base units (4) arranged parallel to each other and transverse to the rotation direction (R1) of the transport device (2), each of the
loader base units (4) comprising: an elongated base plate (41), a first support block (42) formed at a first longitudinal end of the base plate (41) and comprising a first skewer holder (43), a second support block (44) formed at a second longitudinal end of the base plate (41) and comprising a second skewer holder (45), partitions (46) extending parallel to the support blocks (42, 44) and dividing the
loader base unit (4) into chambers, the partitions (46) having slots (48) oriented in the rotation direction (R1) of the transport device (2),and a skewer conduit through which a skewer passes. The loading skewer can penetrate the loader base unit (4) from the first skewer holder (43) to the second skewer holder (45). The device (1) further comprises: a loading
station (5) for placing a first
food component (12) into a receiving chamber formed by the chambers of the loader base unit (4); a
cutting station (6), which is arranged downstream of the loading
station (5) in the direction of rotation (R1), with parallel separating blades (16) that slide in slots (48) when the loader base units (4) are rotating and
cut the first
food component (12) placed in the loading station (5); and a skewering station (9).which is arranged downstream of the
cutting station (6) in the direction of rotation (R1) and which drives a loading spike in the direction of passage through the base unit of the loader (4) and the
food components placed in the chambers.
