The invention relates to a device (1) and a method for producing food skewers comprising: an endlessly rotating transport device (2) with a plurality of
magazine base units (4) arranged parallel to one another and transversely to the direction of rotation (R1) of the transport device (2), each of the
magazine base units (4) comprising: an elongated base plate (41), a first bearing block (42) formed at a first longitudinal end of the base plate (41) and comprising a first skewer support (43), a second bearing block (44) formed at a second longitudinal end of the base plate (41) and comprising a second skewer support (45), partitions (46) extending parallel to the bearing blocks (42, 44) and dividing the
magazine base unit (4) into chambers, the partitions (46) having slots (48) oriented in the direction of rotation (R1) of the transport device (2), and a skewer passage.through which a skewer to be loaded can penetrate the magazine base unit (4) from the first skewer support (43) towards the second skewer support (45). The device (1) further comprises: a loading
station (5) for positioning a first
food component (12) in a receiving chamber formed by the chambers of the magazine base unit (4); a chopping
station (6), which is arranged downstream of the loading
station (5) in the direction of rotation (R1), with parallel separating blades (16) which run in the slots (48) when the magazine base units (4) are rotating and
cut the first
food component (12) positioned in the loading station (5); and a skewering station (9), which is arranged downstream of the chopping station (6) in the direction of rotation (R1) and which drives a skewer to be loaded in the direction of passage through the magazine base unit (4) and the
food components positioned in the chambers.
