A method for handling longitudinal smoking rods for storing sausage-shaped products, comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of the rod-like elements having a length; providing a clipping machine configured to produce the sausage-shaped products; providing a hanging line configured to load the produced sausage-shaped products on the rod-like elements and comprising a measuring position for measuring the length of the rod-like elements, and a loading position for loading the sausage-shaped products on the rod-like elements; feeding one of the rod-like elements to the measuring position of the hanging line; measuring the length of the rod-like element; determining whether the length is within a tolerance range of a desired length; loading a predetermined number of the produced sausage-shaped products on the rod-like element, if the length is within the tolerance range; and discarding the rod-like element from the hanging line, if the length is not within the tolerance range.

Hanging line with smoking rod length measurement

A system for wireless monitoring of operating and production parameters of a clipping machine for food production having a sealed housing protected at least against moisture. The system comprises at least one measuring and control device for controlling the production process and measuring the operating and/or production parameters of the machine, sensors for determining operating parameters of the machine, devices for determining production parameters of the machine, at least one wireless communication device, a user interface and display device, and at least one smart device having at least an optical reading unit, wherein the at least one wireless communication device is configured to generate login details for wireless communication and encrypt the login details into a binary code which can be read by the optical reading unit of the smart device via the user interface and display device.

System for wireless monitoring of operating and production parameters of a machine for food production

The present invention relates to a method for removing a rod-like element from a loading position of a hanging line in which the rod-like element can successively be loaded with sausage-shaped products, each of which contain a flowable filling material in a tubular or bag-shaped packaging casing provided with a suspension element through which the sausage-shaped products can be suspended on the rod-like element in the loading position. The method comprises the steps of feeding successively sausage-shaped products to a take-up position of the hanging line at a basic feeding speed, taking up one sausage-shaped product being positioned in the take-up position, by one of several transportation elements of a transport device of the hanging line, the transportation elements circulating along a circulation path at a basic transportation speed, loading by the transportation elements a predefined number of sausage-shaped products on the rod-like element being positioned in the loading position by the transportation elements, and replacing the loaded rod-like element by an empty rod-like element after the final sausage-shaped product has been suspended on said rod-like element. The method further comprises the steps of varying the basic transportation speed of the transport device or the basic feeding speed, or both, after the final sausage-shaped product to be stored on the rod-like element, has been picked up by a transportation element, such that the subsequent transportation element remains empty, and setting back the varied transportation speed and/or the varied feeding speed to the basic transportation speed and/or the basic feeding speed during loading of the subsequent rod-like element.
