Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for removing clips from sausage sticks in preparation for packaging includes a feed mechanism for sequential and indexed movement of the sausage sticks through a plurality of gripping stations. The clipped ends of each sausage stick are pulled outwardly by gripping means at each gripping station to dispose the clipped ends in optimum condition for clamping at a clamping station. The clipped ends of each sausage stick are clamped by clamping mechanisms at the clamping station and the sausage sticks are rotated by gate means to twist the clips from the sausage sticks. The declipped sausage sticks are then moved to a labeling station where labels are mechanically applied to the sticks.
