Transport and transfer part for natural casings at

sausage production

The invention relates to a transport and transfer part for natural casings in sausage production, in which pieces of casing are delivered in gathered form on transport and transfer parts in bundles and pulled onto the spout of the sausage filling machine.

It has been common practice to put pieces of natural casing on so-called tubings, i.e. tube-shaped parts, and to use these tubings to arrange the corresponding piece of casing on the nozzle of the sausage filling machine. Before the actual filling process can begin, the tubing must be removed from the nozzle by another movement in the opposite direction.

The present invention is intended in particular to simplify the pulling-on process in sausage production, which is achieved by a transport and transmission part of the type mentioned at the beginning in that the transport and transmission part is designed in the form of a carrier strip or piece of tubing that encloses the spout approximately halfway around the circumference, preferably made of polyethylene film with a thickness in the millimetre range and less, and is provided at its front end, which is first pushed onto the spout, with a handle part for the purpose of pulling the transport and transmission part out of the spout

resting piece of intestine without reversal of direction with respect to the pulling-up movement.

It is within the scope of the present invention to use cords, strings, wire spirals or spiral tubes instead of a carrier strip or carrier tube, since an essential feature of the present invention is that in the same direction in which the transport and transmission part is brought onto the spout, it is also removed from the spout, provided it does not have a design that completely encloses the spout. In this way, the present invention can be implemented by the pulling-on process being virtually uninterrupted and, after the piece of casing has been placed on the spout, the same movement is continued and the carrier is separated from the spout.

According to the invention, the handle part can be designed most simply by having the shape of a hole or passage that can be grasped with the finger, so that in this way one of the intestine strands can be removed from the bundle one after the other, pulled onto the nozzle of the sausage filling machine and the carrier part itself can be separated from the intestine with the finger still in the handle hole.

It may be advantageous to provide the front end of the carrier strip according to the invention with a reinforcement so that the grip hole does not tear out towards the edge during handling.

The invention is explained below by way of example with reference to the drawing.

This shows a side view of a carrier strip made of a plastic material, namely polyethylene, with a thickness of well under 1 mm.

In the example shown, it is a folded strip that has the required length (depending on the piece of casing and nozzle) and extends in the direction of the fold line by approx. 15 mm on both sides. It is clear that such a strip can practically ride on the nozzle of a sausage filling machine.

On the right-hand side there is a grip hole which, as already mentioned, is used to handle the strip together with the piece of casing and also when separating the strip from the piece of casing. Even further to the right of the grip hole and extending to the front end of the carrier strip there is a reinforcement part which can be most easily implemented by folding the front part of the strip over by 180° and gluing it to the strip. This can reliably prevent the carrier strip from tearing out if handled carelessly.
