Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for transferring sausage-shaped products, containing a flowable filling material in a tubular or bag-shaped packaging casing from a discharge device of a processing machine for processing the sausage-shaped products to a handling device for the sausage-shaped products. The system comprises a belt conveyor device for subsequently receiving sausage-shaped products discharged from the discharge device in a discharge direction and for conveying the sausage-shaped products in a feeding direction to a releasing position in which the sausage-shaped products can be removed from the belt conveyor device, a drive assembly for driving said belt conveyor device in the feeding direction being at least substantially parallel to the discharge direction of the discharge device, a guiding assembly for guiding the sausage-shaped products when conveyed by the belt conveyor device in the feeding direction and at least one shaping box for subsequently receiving a sausage-shaped product released from the belt conveyor device in the releasing position, wherein the at least one shaping box is provided at least substantially underneath the belt conveyor device in a…
