Abstract
A process and device for the separation and placing of a gut caterpillar 1 on a filling tube 2, the gut caterpillar 1 being withdrawn from a storage vessel 3 for storing gut caterpillars with a conveyor device, positioned in front of the filling tube 2 essentially in alignment and slipped onto the filling tube 2 from this position. A simple construction and a high functional reliability of the device, with which the processing of not perfectly formed gut caterpillars 1 is made possible without their kinking or bending is achieved by the fact that the gut caterpillar 1 is slipped onto the filling tube 2 by at least two guide surfaces 5, 22 which rest against its circumference and are driven at the same speed.
