Abstract
An apparatus for suspending loops of sausage links comprises a pickup member rotatable about a pickup axis and having an arm inclined at an angle to this axis and reaching toward a feeder for sausage links forming a chain. The feeder advances the sausage links along a feed axis which is laterally offset from the pickup axis. A drive rotates the pickup member so that the arm orbits the axis of the sausage chain and engages the latter between sausage links to suspend the latter in loops from the pickup member.
