Abstract

An apparatus for separating sausage links is disclosed. The apparatus has a series of pairs of cutting arms mounted on a circular plate. The arms are moved into contact with the sausage links. As a pair of cutting arms contact the sausage links from opposite sides, they force the links away from the point of contact. There is a cutting element at the end of each arm which cuts the casing between the links when the arms overlap.
