Abstract
A device and a method for producing skinless sausages by the use of molds are disclosed. The molds comprise individual hollow tubes which are open at both ends. The molds are detachably supported on conveying means and conveyed to a filling device where they are filled with sausage meat. The molds are next brought to a heating device where the sausage meat is heated until the surface is coagulated. The sausage meat at the open ends is allowed to develop freely. The molds are then conveyed to an extraction device where the sausages are extracted from the molds and transported for further treatment. The molds are, in turn, cleaned and returned to the filling device. By means of the use of molds comprising individual tubes which are detachably supported on the conveying means, great flexibility is assured in the process and in the configuration of the machine.
