Abstract

See full text

Provided is a stick turning device capable of turning a stick on which a chain of sausages is suspended while reducing defects in the sausages when delivering the stick from an upstream device to a downstream device. The stick turning device includes a turning arm unit, a turning driving unit, and an actuator unit. The turning driving unit causes the turning arm unit to turn at a predetermined angle around a turning shaft. The actuator unit lifts the turning arm unit such that both ends of the stick are horizontally picked up from the upstream device and the stick is lifted, and such that by bringing the stick close to the turning shaft, a peripheral speed of the stick is reduced with respect to a turning speed of the turning driving unit, and defects in the sausages are reduced, and lowers the stick turned by the turning driving unit.
