Why This Machine Matters in Production

Lower Giveaway and Faster Packaging

Weight-Based Cutting for Sausage Packaging Lines

The automatic sausage stick divider is engineered for precise angled cutting at 45°, 70° and 90°, with a capacity of up to 60 sticks per minute. The system automatically feeds sausage logs from hangers into the cutting zone, helping maintain a stable and uninterrupted flow to the packaging machine.

The machine cuts sausage logs exactly in half by weight, not only by length. This helps reduce giveaway, minimize manual correction and improve the overall output of the packaging line.

The integrated weighing control system checks the upper and lower weight limits and determines which sausage logs can be sold whole and which require cutting. A built-in checkweigher function adds extra accuracy and quality control across the process.
The main purpose of the machine is to reduce product giveaway and stabilize the loading of downstream packaging equipment.

— Savings of 3–10% on sausage stick input weight
— Up to 13,500 sausage sticks per shift, depending on product and line conditions
— Less manual handling and fewer operators involved in cutting
— More stable product flow before slicing, loading or packaging
— Weight control helps prevent underweight halves from being sent further as finished products
Suitable for:

— boiled, boiled-smoked, semi-smoked, raw-smoked and dry-cured sausages
— natural and artificial casings
— sausage sticks from 30 to 90 mm, depending on product parameters and samples
— cylindrical and square product shapes
— production speed of 40–60 sticks per minute, depending on the product and line configuration
— Weight-based cutting instead of length-based cutting
— Reduced giveaway and lower product losses
— Automatic feeding of sausage sticks into the cutting area
— Built-in checkweighing and reject control
— Clean angled cut at 45°, 70° or 90°
— Stable loading for downstream packaging equipment
— Optional integration into automatic slicing, loading and packaging lines
— Adjustable cutting angle
— Clean cut without product deformation
— Knife made from high-quality alloy steel
