Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging machine comprising an apparatus for cutting food packagings to size along a longitudinal direction, wherein the apparatus defines an inner space and an outer region, said apparatus having a first shaft, which extends in the inner space and on which at least a first cutting blade is arranged, and a second shaft which extends in the inner space and on which at least a second cutting blade is arranged, said second cutting blade forming a cutting unit arranged in the inner space together with the first cutting blade during operation, wherein the first cutting blade is axially displaceably supported on the respective shaft to change an axial spacing and an axial contact pressure between the first cutting blade and the second cutting blade of the cutting unit, and said apparatus having an adjustment mechanism, wherein the adjustment mechanism is coupled to the axially displaceable first cutting blade to displace the displaceable cutting blade in an axial direction.

Abstract: A conveyor and process for transporting products, wherein a carrier with an associated product holder can be moved along a conveying path by means of a conveyor element. In a processing position, the carrier can be aligned by means of first alignment elements, and second alignment elements are provided for aligning the product holder for disengagement from the carrier.

Abstract: The invention relates to a clipping machine for producing sausage-shaped products comprising: a filling tube for feeding a tubular casing provided on the filling tube with filling material, a displacer unit having at least two pairs of displacer elements for gathering the filled tubular casing and for providing a plait-like portion, which is at least approximately free of filling material, a clipping device for applying two closure means to the plait-like portion, a first clip to close the tubular casing of the actually filled sausage-shaped product, and a second clip in order to close the front end of the tubular casing of the sausage-shaped product provided on the filling tube, and a cutting device having at least one blade for cutting the packing material between the first and second closure means wherein the cutting device comprises a fluid drive for driving the blade and being coupled to a fluid source.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a manually operable clipping machine for producing sausage-shaped products. The machine comprises a first displacer unit with a first pair of upper and lower displacer elements, at least the upper displacer element is reversibly movable in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal extending plait-axis between an opened and a closed position. The machine also comprises a second displacer unit with a second pair of upper and lower displacer elements, at least the upper displacer element is reversibly movable in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal extending plait-axis between an opened and a closed position. The second displacer unit is reversibly movable parallel to the longitudinal extending plait-axis between a narrow position where the second displacer unit is adjacent to the first displacer unit, and a spread position in which the second displacer unit is moved away from the first displacer unit.
