Abstract: A pressing device for pressing meat products, in particular frozen and/or partly frozen meat products, preferably fresh meat products and/or bacon, comprises a pressing chamber into which a product to be pressed can be inserted by an insertion device. The insertion device comprises a conveyor that is configured to convey the product transversely to a longitudinal direction of the pressing chamber to an insertion section, wherein the conveyor is supported at a housing of the pressing device, and wherein the conveyor is movable relative to the housing between an insertion position, in which the insertion section adjoins the conveyor, and an inactivity position in which the insertion section does not adjoin the conveyor.
