Abstract

Machine to produce sausages with twisted casing, comprising a feeding pump for minced meat, a skin dressing tube located at the exit of said pump in order to sustain a flexible casing and to consent the introduction of meat into the casing itself for the formation of a continuous sausage. A device of separation and feed of the sausage provided with mobile pincers that can be brought near to each other is located at the exit of the skin dressing tube in order to advance the sausage and to nip the casing so as to form a squeezing point between each sausage downstream and the rest of the sausage upstream. The machine provides for controlling means to produce the rotation of the skin dressing tube for the twisting of the casing around said squeezing point in such a way as to obtain a separation tang between a sausage downstream and the rest of the sausage upstream. Said controlling means are synchronized with the movement of said pincers in order to control the rotation of said skin dressing tube only for a predetermined period of time between the formation of a squeezing point and that of the subsequent squeezing point. The synchronization is obtained through the aid of a sensor of position.
