12. Independent electrical drive control. Metering pump, twister, stuffing tube,
linking chain and conveyor are independently driven. The independent drive
and separate controls achieve the high speed stuffing for all type of sausages.
The drive system is made as simple as possible to reduce the number of parts
and improve durability

14. Stationary Chute
A revolutionary breakthrough over
the conventional looper horn which
moves t hang products over
to h d t
hooks. Our system allows precise
hanging by simply allowing the
product to slide to the conveyor
hooks without the need for more
wear parts as on a looper system.
