Townsend Further Processing has developed a number of successful linkers and conveyors for the production of cooked/smoked sausage.
SmartLinker produces strings of sausages of a consistently fixed length and weight per sausage in continuous motion.
The linker is installed after a supply pump. A dosing pump fills a long casing (natural, collagen or cellulose) with sausage mix. The machine then twists the string automatically, exactly in accordance with the selected product recipe. The twisting mechanism (linker chain and chuck) is quick and easy to change.
