Abstract
Apparatus for peeling sausages comprises means for feeding a chain of sausages in the longitudinal direction of the chain towards a pair of counterrotating rollers defining between them a roller nip located in the plane of symmetry between the rollers. The feeding means causes the leading end of each sausage in succession to meet the roller surfaces on either side of the plane of symmetry and at an obtuse angle to the longitudinal direction of the nip. Before each sausage meets the roller surfaces its casing has been slit by a knife, and due to their rotation the rollers grasp the slitted casing and pull it through the nip for removal separate from the skinned sausages which move along the rollers on the infeed side thereof until they are discharged at the end of the roller nip.
