ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and a method are provided in which a connecting portion between sausage chubs is positioned in an inner end of a slot in a guide structure and a blade unit is then moved within the guide structure to sever the connecting portion. In one embodiment, two spaced blades are provided which can cut between facing surfaces of adjacent chubs and the outer sides of clips on the ends of a connecting portion. The blades are pivotal and have beveled edges. A spacer between the blades has a projecting portion engaging the connecting portion to provide a tensioning action which facilitates cutting. In another embodiment, a single thin blade moves between a pair of thin plates of a guide structure for severing of a very short connecting portion between sausage chubs. The blades may be operated manually as by fluid-operated cylinders, solenoids or other actuating means.
